Might be a rare case where one would need the parameters very badly. The topic starter said that LW treats conventional fixtures with the same channel number as one fixture and that is logical to me if they are on the same dimmer circuit.Įdit: Sorry didn’t really read your post wel, yes indeed one could apply the same adress to multiple dimmer channels. I'm leaving this video up because I know it'll be useful for people, but I urge you to not support Vectorworks.
#VECTORWORKS LIGHTWRITE PATCH#
And I want them to be in one line in my patch lists in stead of split. Instrument data are updated when the file focus switches from the Vectorworks file to Lightwright, or Lightwright to the Vectorworks file. But in that case in my paperwork they would share the same channel number. If you go to Setup - Dimming & Control, you can. It’s very common to put two or more conventionals in one dimmer circuit. but Lightwright 6 absolutely does though it takes a bit of work to set up. The folder is marked as Read & Write for all users.

Of course more pars could be in one channel. Go to Applications:Vectorworks 2017:Libraries and do a Get Info.
#VECTORWORKS LIGHTWRITE UPDATE#
update a dimmer repatch in lightwright and both vectorworks and the console are populated with the same information. Lightwright 6 now intergrates via osc to the eos family e.g.
#VECTORWORKS LIGHTWRITE FULL#
The demo version is good to 65 channels and offers the full package etc. Anyway, 6 dimmers does not always mean 6 channels of control. Lightwright has supported more than 90 of all Broadway shows for over 20 years. Brilliant companion software that is designed to intergrate with vectorworks. Doing so would give you less control, but could simplify. Not the way I would do it, but I have seen it done often. If you would plug 6 1k PARS into a 6k dimmer, you would be willing to plug them into 6 1k dimmers or 3 2k dimmers and assign them to the same control channel.
If those are the numbers of the devices supplying power, it is quite conceivable that each would require a separate dimmer (depending on wattage and dimmer capacity) but be assigned the same control channel.

It depends on what you mean by "dimmer channels".
