A conventional lighting device is a non-moving lighting device. If the conventional lighting devices are focused in Vectorworks prior to import, they are automatically focused in Vision. Otherwise, these lights need to be manually adjusted so they point to the desired location.
By default, all unfocused conventional lighting devices point down in the hung position and point up in the floor-mounted position.
To focus one or more conventional lighting devices:
Select the lighting device(s) to focus. The selected lighting devices automatically output light in the Scene window.
Right-click on the desired location in the scene, and select the command.
Alternatively, use the arrow keys to pan and tilt the selected lighting devices to achieve the desired focus.
The selected lighting devices are focused to the location.
When several conventional lighting devices are selected, each lighting device in the selection can be focused independently. Cycle through the selected lighting devices to focus them one at a time.
To focus selected conventional lighting devices one at a time:
Select the lighting devices to focus. The selected lighting devices automatically output light in the Scene window.
Use the Page Up/Page Down keys to cycle through the selected lighting devices, based on their order in the Scene Graph palette.
Press the Page Down key to focus the first selected lighting device and to cycle down the list. Press the Page Up key to focus the last selected lighting device and to cycle up the list.
The lighting device to focus displays its normal light beams, while the other lighting devices emit blue light.
Use the arrow keys to pan and tilt the highlighted lighting device to achieve the desired focus.
Continue pressing the Page Up or the Page Down key to cycle through the selected lighting devices. Use the arrow keys to focus each lighting device as needed.
When the cycle is complete, all selected lighting devices display their normal light beams.
