VectorWorks Beam Orientation

[Wolf]

Hello All,

I was hoping you could help me with a VectorWorks question.

When having the 3D Beam drawn with a Par unit how can you rotate the beam to the oriaentaion you want. I.E having the beam going SL -SR?

Thank you for all the help, I couldn’t find this answer in the manual.

In other words (using standard LD vernacular) How do you "spin the bottle" on a PAR can?

From a colleague:

Is he using VW 2013? In the Object Info Palette, all the way at the bottom is "Lamp Rotation Angle" along with Shutter Controls. Try that. I've never done it. Not sure if it works in older versions of VW. I never turn on lights in VW--that's what ESP Vision is for.

That did it! Thank you, I hadn't noticed that field before.
