tom_the_LD Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi all, I'm sure I'm being daft here! I've got m WYSIWYG plan and all is lovely. However, normally when I click on a fixture (in CAD mode) I get a lovely wire beam representation which I can then click and drag to focus. However, all of a sudden this has disappeared. When I select the fixture (and it goes green) the beam is still visible in shaded view, but in wireframe view I don't get the wire beam appearing for me to click and drag to focus. Having looked through the help it simply says you can click and drag a beam to focus but it doesn't mention anything about turning this function on or off. It's WYSIWYG R22. Any ideas anybody? I've e-mailed cast but am currently waiting for a response. Cheers! Tom E2A: I feel I should add, after receiving a PM, that this is infact a genuine copy of WYSIWYG, and should Andy be around I'll more than happily send him my dongle number and he can confirm it is genuine!

grandMA_the_2nd Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Right-click - Focus... if you are in Design you can grab the beam and focus it by dragging also... you are a bit behind if you are on R22, you really should be on R26 and waiting for R27 this week...

mark_s Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 or the fact their is a cracked R22 Seriously, Tom has in his post told us that it's a genuine copy, and will happily have someone verify his dongle number. Why do you still feel the need to question how moral and law-abiding he is? What's wrong with either posting something constructive and helpful, or, you know, not posting at all?

grandMA_the_2nd Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Innocent til proven guilty... He may well have stopped subscriptions to later versions but if he has a dongle it is still perfectly valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bleasdale Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 At the end of the day, its like anything - if there is no need to upgrade, why pay the money too? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLOLI Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi Tom Right Click in your wireframe view in Cad Mode, select the tab labelled Show Details and make sure 'Show beams for selected fixtures' is turned on. If it is another reason could be if you have no floor drawn into wyg, the beam is just going to infinity so you cant see the beam hitting the floor. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarmenDaniels Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I have a question about wyg beams too so I thought instead of opening a new topic I could join in in this one.. I just updated to R27 and it is truly awesome.. but the thing I can't seam to figure out, in shaded mode in design my spot moving heads are barely visible, washes and conventionals work fine, it's really just the moving heads with gobo's. but the strange thing is, they do work properly when I render it.. anyone have any thoughts on this? am I missing something?

grandMA_the_2nd Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 select those lights, right click and then go to the beam options tab and increase the brightness/flare etc for those fixtures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
