Identifying a video source for the Vision program
When sending a Vectorworks file to the Vision program, a video screen object (television, video screen object, blended screen, or LED screen object) or 3D drawing geometry (solid, extrude, mesh, sweep, floor, column, roof face, 3D polygon, or 3D locus) can be identified as a video surface for use in Vision. The video source can be either a video file or a video input that the Vision program can identify and render.
To associate video information for use in Vision:
Select the video screen object or 3D geometry.
The next action depends on the selection.
If a video screen object is selected, click Edit Screen Image or Edit Array Image from the Object Info palette, and then click Select Vision Video Source from the Edit Screen Image dialog box.
If 3D geometry is selected, select Spotlight > Visualization > Select Vision Video Source.
The Select Vision Video Source dialog box opens.
