kneel999 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I don't see any way to draw icicle lights in the LOR visualizer. Am I missing something?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnett Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Unfortunately, you are not missing something.When I asked Dan this question at the Expo, he said icicles were not in the visualizer. after my initial suprise, he did mention you could draw them in the viz.I guess it was too difficult for the Devs to add them, or they thought that hardly anyone uses icicles anymore; and were not needed. I do believe Jeff Millard has created some; so perhaps he could help in showing how to create them. Or at some point, upload his fixture/prop files for the icicles.I use icicles on my roof line, so I have to get something done. I have HLD 4.x as a backup; just can't do CCR's in that program...but I do have icicles.I was using HLD icicle layout to try and recreate them in the Viz; but they looked sucky, so back to square 1.Hopefully if enough folks express an interest in needing the iciles; perhaps DevMike can add that option at some point. I think the viz thingy was mainly his baby...not sure though.So, rather than my frustration building anymore; I think I'll get clarification on somethings...and call it a night.Good Luck, I'm in the same boat as well.Best,DavidEDIT: well I tried Jeff Millards Icicle light fixture on my setup...sucks! Not his fixture, just how it looks on my home.sigh, I think I'm relegated to just using a light strand, to emulate the changes in the sequence.Icicles will be PIA for me right now:(Hopefully my pumkin and tombstone tracing will go better.Sleep time for me.

ericnagel Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Jeff - thanks for your icicle lights.Is there a way that I can select multiple fixtures & create a single prop out of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericnagel Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Got my answer: "Create New Prop" button, then select the fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 FYI, I added a 'Draw Icicle' tool to the wishlist as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Here's an idea, create a short length of an icicle string, make the prop. Insert prop into your display and size it correctly then copy/paste to the length you need. This way you can have segments for different channels or combine the segments to be a single channel.You will need to make three icicle props: one that's level and one each with left and right pitch. Nevermind this part. You can use the skew handle to cause the icicles to 'hang' vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph D Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I am also very very new to learning the new viz, and the second thing i wanted to add was icicle's seems odd that they would not be a part of this, any way, I would like to take a shot at making them. is making a prop hard?

LOR Staff Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Props are nothing but a collection of fixtures. If you are drawing lights, then you are already creating fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
