For details about opening Vivien files, see “Opening documents created in Vivien”.

For details about opening DWG/DXF documents, see “Opening a DWG/DXF document”.

For details about opening SketchUp files, see “Opening/Importing SketchUp files”.

Opening event documents

To open an existing event document

1. From the File menu, choose Open.
2. Locate the document, select it, and then click Open.

Notes:

• Vivien files have a “.vvn” file extension.
• Only one event document can be open at a time. If another event document is currently open, you are prompted to save changes to that document before Vivien creates another event document.

Opening recently opened event documents

The list of documents displayed at the bottom of the File menu gives you quick access to the last four files opened. This list continually updates as event documents are opened. If the file you are looking for is not on this list, use the Open command.

To open a recently opened file

From the File menu, choose the file you want to open.

Note: Only one event document can be open at a time. If another event document is currently open, you are prompted to save changes to that document before another event document is opened.

Opening documents created in Vivien

When you open a WYSIWYG document in Vivien, the drawing is imported with all the library items that are common to both WYSIWYG and Vivien included in the document.

However, if the document contains library items that are specific to WYSIWYG only, then a message box appears, prompting you to download and install the WYSIWYG Compatibility Pack for Vivien. The WYSIWYG Compatibility Pack contains WYSIWYG-specific library items that are not normally needed for Vivien (for example, certain lights, truss, and so on). Other components of the document (for example, images, layouts, worksheets, reports) are not imported. You can get the compatibility pack on the Vivien web site, www.cast-soft.com/vivien, in the Members Only Area, Downloads section.

To open a Vivien file

1. From the File menu, choose Open.
2. Locate the document, select it, and then click Open.

Note: Vivien files have a “.vvn” or “.vvt” file extension.

Opening/Importing SketchUp files

SketchUp is a modeling tool that enables you to create realistic 3D models of many different types of objects and then save the files with an “.skp” extension. You can import these SketchUp files into Vivien in much the same way as you import DWG/DXF files.

Before you import SketchUp files into Vivien, note the following:

• While SketchUp supports two textures per surface, one each for the front and back, Vivien supports only one texture for both sides of imported surfaces; when you are importing SketchUp files, Vivien will automatically apply the front texture to both sides of the object.
• Since Vivien does not support nested custom library items, when converting nested SketchUp components into custom library objects, you need only to import the top-most component.

Textures

When you import SketchUp files into Vivien, the textures associated with these files are saved in a folder on your computer so you can apply them to imported surfaces. By saving them to a folder outside of Vivien, you can use them repeatedly instead of only applying them to the surfaces that are within the current Vivien document.

Upon import, you can choose the location for saving the associated texture files (or accept the default location). If there is already a texture with the same name saved in the location specified, Vivien will prompt you to save the file with a new name.

Import options

When importing a SketchUp file into Vivien, you have two options:

• You can open a file. For details, see “To open SketchUp files”.
• You can merge a file into an existing Vivien document. For details, see “To merge SketchUp files”.

If you open a SketchUp file while another show document is currently open, you are prompted to save changes to that document before another show document is opened. Only one show document may be open at a time. When you merge documents, you can add the contents of the SketchUp file to the contents of the current Vivien document.

To open SketchUp files

This procedure creates a new Vivien document out of the SketchUp file, prompting you to save changes to any current document that is open and close it before importing the file.

Note: Before you begin this procedure, you must have the SketchUp file saved on your computer.

1. From the File menu, choose Open.
2. From the Files of type box, select SketchUp files (.skp), and then navigate to the location where the file is saved on your computer.
3. In the browser, click the file name, and then click Open.

Result: The Import Directories window appears.

4. Click the browse button to specify the location where you want to save the textures that have been applied to the object in SketchUp, or accept the default location shown. By saving textures to a folder outside of Vivien, you can use them repeatedly instead of only applying them to the surfaces that are within the current Vivien document.

Note: If a default path is not shown, you must click the browse button and navigate to the desired folder. If there is already a texture with the same name saved in the location specified, Vivien will prompt you to save the file with a new name.

5. Click Next.

Result: The Layer window appears.

6. In the Layer window, select the layers that you want to import.

• If there is more than one layer listed, you can select multiple layers simultaneously by pressing CTRL on your keyboard and then clicking on the desired layers.
• For each layer that you want to import, ensure that the Import checkbox is checked. If you do not want to import a certain layer, highlight it and clear this checkbox. For example, if you have drawn both a venue and elements in SketchUp and you have put them on separate layers, you can choose to only import a particular element into the Vivien file by selecting the appropriate layer in this window.

7. To import a single-sided layer, highlight it and select the Single Sided checkbox.

Note: Single-sided layers use less processor time to display in Virtual views and to render in the Render Wizard. However, they only appear properly in each of these views if the faces of the object are drawn facing outward. Unless you know how the SketchUp file was drawn, it is recommended that you leave Single Sided checkbox unchecked by default when importing the layers so that the object appears correctly. Note that you will not be able to see “through” the walls of an imported double-sided venue when you rotate the image around in the Virtual view (unlike the Vivien venues, which are single sided).

If the imported object does not appear correctly in the Virtual View, you can change its sidedness by using the Properties window. You can change it from single sided to double sided, or vice versa. You can also flip the object’s sides if the wrong side is currently facing outward. For details, see “To change an object’s sidedness”.

8. Click Next.

Result: The Component window appears.

9. Blocks in SketchUp are called components. If you have components in your drawing, you have the option to ignore them, explode them, convert them into a library item, or substitute Vivien fixtures for the existing components.

• Import: This icon  indicates that the block is currently on a layer being imported. This icon  indicates that the block is on a layer that will not be imported.
• Component Name: The name of the block.
• Block Type: This icon  indicates that the block is a singular block and does not contain any sub-blocks. This icon  indicates that the block is a nested block and contains one or many sub-blocks.
• Ignore: Select this action to ignore the block. The block will not be added to the resulting file.
• Add to Library: Converting a block into a library item imports the object and creates a duplicate of it to add to the library for future use and it will only be available in the library of the current document. To make it available globally, see “To create a custom library item”. When you convert SketchUp files into custom library items, they appear on the Library tab of the Library Browser within the SketchUp folder.
• Explode: Exploding the component breaks it into its sub-components. That is, it breaks the block into its components. You must be careful of components that are made up of other components as Vivien will only explode down one level.

Note: Exploding is not recommended. Exploding should be your last resort to import files, as it is taxing on performance.

10. Click Finish.

Result: The Import Summary window appears.

11. Click OK.

Importing DWG/DXF files

When importing a DWG/DXF file into Vivien, you have two options:

• You can open a DWG/DXF file. For details, see “To open a DWG/DXF document”.
• You can merge a DWG/DXF file into an existing Vivien document. For details, see “To merge a DWG/DXF document”.

If you open a DWG or DXF while another show document is currently open, you are prompted to save changes to that document before another show document is opened. Only one show document may be open at a time. When you merge documents, it enables you to add the contents of the DWG or DXF file to the contents of the current document.

3D solids contained within an AutoCAD file are automatically placed inside blocks by AutoCAD. When you import any file that contains a block, Vivien will automatically explode the blocks in the DXF or DWG files for you if you decide to do this before opening them in Vivien.

Entities that can be imported

The DWG/DXF entities that can be imported are detailed in the following table. The resulting Vivien objects are also shown.

* A closed AutoCAD ellipse will be imported as a circle; otherwise, it is imported as a multi-segment line.

Entities that can be imported as a library item

• Circle
• Arc
• Line
• 2D Polyline
• 3D Polyline
• Polyline
• Mline
• Polyface Mesh (PFACE)
• Polygon Mesh (3D Surfaces)
• Face (3D Face) 
• Spline
• Ellipse
• Revolved Surface
• Helix
• Text and MText (See Note)

Note: Text and MText entities in blocks are not integrated directly into library items (a feature Vivien does not support). However, a copy of each Text or MText entity is extracted from the block and inserted into Vivien document as a text label. Attributes are substituted.

Limitations

• Multilines becomes single lines.
• Multiline text becomes a group of individual text items, with each line represented by its own item.

Note: The formatting for each line is taken from that of the first character of the line, except in the case of bullets, in which case the first character after the bullet point is used.

• Segments that are not straight (for example, arcs) become straight line segments.
• A spline must contain “Fit” data for it to be imported. When a Spline is initially drawn in AutoCAD, it is defined by a series of user-provided Fit Points, which are automatically converted to Control Points by AutoCAD. To import Splines into Vivien properly, you must maintain the Fit Points that define the Spline. If the Spline is defined only by Control Points, it will import into Vivien as a regular line, with additional points to help follow the curvature.
• Stretched (scaled) blocks are not supported.
• Blocks to be converted to library items cannot imbed other blocks.
• Blocks to be replaced by a fixture cannot imbed other blocks.

Tips:

• It is recommended that you do not import 2D/3D solids whenever possible. Instead, use 3D Face and 3D Surface entities.
• It is recommended that you explode Polyface Mesh or Polygon Mesh entities in AutoCAD before importing to Vivien so you can access each face in Vivien.

Opening a DWG/DXF document

Before you begin

• Clean up the CAD file by removing all unnecessary layers, such as doors, windows, and architectural details. Generally you want to remove items that you do not need to see or will not use in the plot.
• Use the Purge command in AutoCAD to remove layers, blocks, and so on, that are not wanted or needed. You may want to do this several times since layers and blocks are sometimes linked to other parts of the drawing, and the Purge command might not pick them up the first time. The more unwanted items you can remove, the smaller the file size will be, and the easier/faster it is to import.

To open a DWG/DXF document

This procedure creates a new Vivien document from the imported DWG/DXF file. If you are already working in a document, you are prompted to save any changes and close the document before you import the file into Vivien.

1. From the File menu, choose Open.
2. From the Files of type box, select the DWG or DXF type. Files of this type appear in the browser window.
3. In the browser, click the file name, and then click Open.
4. Click OK.

Result: The Pre-Processing Options window appears.

5. In the Pre-Processing Options window, you can specify which DXF/DWG blocks and non-block entities are converted into Library items.

1. From the Define Content section, choose which layers and items will be converted into your drawing.

• Select the Import All radio button to include in the import, all blocks, block references, all non-block items and layers for conversion into your drawing. You can import all entities in one pass if you select this option.
• Select the Only import Blocks radio button to include in the import, only items that are blocks and block references for conversion into your drawing. You can import one or more times selecting different sets of blocks if you select this option.
• Select the Only import non-block entities to exclude from the import, all items that are blocks and block references. You can import only once if you select this option.

2. From the Number of Segments per Mesh drop-down in the Mesh Segments section, choose the number of segments that will affect how the Library Items and Set Pieces are converted into your drawing. Blocks with higher number of segments consume more memory which affect the performance of your computer hardware.
3. Click Next.

Result: The Working dialog appears showing the Pre-processing progress bar, and then the Scale window appears.

6. Select the unit type used in the DWG/DXF drawing.
7. Click Next.

8. Highlight the layers that you want to import. Note that you do not need to import all the layers at once. Refer to “Importing scenario” for suggestions on how to import the various layers. For each layer that you want to import, ensure that the Import checkbox is checked. If you do not want to import a certain layer, highlight it and clear this checkbox.

Note: In the Layer window, the State column shows the state of the layer in the DXF/DWG file. Frozen layers are not selected for import by default. Off layers are selected but will be set to Not Visible in Vivien after import.

9. Click Next.

Result: The Block window appears.

10. If you have blocks in your drawing, you have the option to ignore the blocks, explode the blocks, convert them into a library item, or substitute Vivien fixtures for the existing blocks.

Note: 3D solids are automatically placed inside blocks by AutoCAD, and assigned an abstract block name (for example, *X1). The number of “blocks” that are found are dependent on the number of solids that were in the AutoCAD file. You will be prompted to determine what action to take for each type of “block.”

• Import: This icon  indicates that the block is currently on a layer being imported. This icon  indicates that the block is on a layer that will not be imported.
• Block Name: The name of the block.
• Type: This icon  indicates that the block is a singular block and does not contain any sub-blocks. This icon  indicates that the block is a nested block and contains one or many sub-blocks.
• Ignore: Select this action to ignore the block. The block will not be added to the resulting file
• Add to Library: Converting a block into a library item imports the object and creates a duplicate of it to add to the Objects library for future use. Note that the block will only be available in the library of the current document. To make it available globally, see “To create a custom library item”.
• Explode: Exploding the block does the same thing as the Explode command in AutoCAD. That is, it breaks the block into its components. You must be careful of blocks that are made up of other blocks as Vivien will only explode down one level.

Note: Exploding is not recommended. Exploding should be your last resort to import the file, as it is taxing on performance.

• Convert: Converting a component into a fixture replaces the AutoCAD component with a Vivien fixture of your choice. Once you have selected this option, select the ellipsis in the neighboring column.

Result: The Fixture Select dialog box appears.

11. Select the fixture that you want to use to replace the block.

Tip: If you are always replacing a particular type of component with a specific fixture, you can set an option in Vivien so that the substitution will automatically occur each time you import the component. For example, if you have files in which the ‘PAR64M’ block is always a PAR Light Medium fixture, you have the option of telling Vivien to automatically import the component in that way. To change this option, edit the Import.1st file that is created in the Library folder (usually C:\Program Data\CAST Software\Vivien\1.XX.XX.X\Library) once the first fixture is set to be remembered for future imports.

12. Click Advanced Block Options to filter objects within the block based on their layer.

Result: The Advanced Block Options dialog appears.

Use the drop-down to control how the contents of incoming Blocks should be handled based on the layers on which the Blocks’ components reside.

• Ignore Frozen and Off Layers (Recommended): This is the preferred option in most cases, since it offers the best optimization for the import: no parts of Blocks that are on layers which have been turned Off and/or Frozen will be imported. Once the import is complete, what you see will most-closely match what is seen when this file is opened in AutoCAD or DWG TrueView—with the exception of DWG entities that cannot be imported at this time. (Use the radio buttons in the Empty Library Item Options section to control how to deal with such entities.)
• Ignore Only Frozen Layers: Choosing not to import parts of Blocks that are on layers which have been Frozen will skip those parts, but parts that are on layers which have been turned Off will import. This will lead to a potentially more complete, but also more complex model—but entities that cannot be imported at this time will still not import. It is important to remember that if you chose to convert such Blocks to DWG Library Items, you will have no control over them: you will not be able to “edit” the DWG Library Item in order to “remove” from it the parts which were imported from the layers that were Turned Off.
• Ignore All Layers Not Being Imported: This option offers layer-based control over which parts of a Block should be ignored for import: entities which exist on layers that you have chosen not to import (in the previous step of the DWG/DXF Import Wizard) will not import. It is recommended that you only select this option if you are very familiar with the contents of the file you are importing AND when you are performing a “multi-pass” import (i.e. importing the same file multiple times, with different options and/or with only handful layers at a time).
• Import Everything (All Layers): This option should only be used when the previous options fail to yield the desired import result, and should (ideally) only be chosen when a single Block, or only a handful of Blocks, are selected for import; while it will lead to a complete import (with the exception of DWG entities that cannot be imported at this time), the resulting model (DWG Library Item) may look altogether different than what you see when you open the file in AutoCAD or DWG TrueView. In addition, the model may end up being very complex, which can lead to performance issues. Use this option with caution, and, ideally, only when performing a “multi-pass” import.
• Extract Block text as Text Labels when converting to a Library Item: Since Vivien’s Library Items cannot contain text, Text or MText objects contained within Blocks being imported would have to be discarded; select this option (recommended) in order to extract text from such Blocks and add it to the resulting .wyg file as a Text Label object.
• Empty Library Item Options: Use the radio buttons in this section to control what will happen with Blocks which only contain entities that cannot be imported, if you choose to convert them to DWG Library Items; these options will not affect DWG Blocks that you have chosen to Explode.
• Allow Blocks to convert to empty Library Items: This option will allow such blocks to convert into empty/”zero-length” DWG Library Items. You will not be able to select them, and inserting them will result in a non-selectable item. Not recommended.
• Use placeholder geometry for empty library items: This option (recommended) will replace entities contained in such Blocks with a 1m “Spike” DWG Library Item.
• Rename library items with placeholder geometry: Enable this checkbox to add a “PH” prefix to all such DWG Library Items.
• Remove empty library items: When this option is selected, all such Blocks will be ignored: no empty Library Items will be created, but at the same time, there will be no indication whatsoever that something was supposed to be there. Only select this option if you are sure that you do not require that information.

1. Click OK to apply the set options and close the Advanced Block Options window.

13. Click Finish.

Result: The Import Summary window appears.

14. Click OK.

The CAD Importing Guide

For more detailed information about importing DWG/DXF files, please read through the CAD Importing Guide, at http://cast-soft.com/wysiwyg/cad-importing-guide/.

Importing scenario

You do not need to import everything in your file at once. You can import items one by one or separately to ensure accuracy. The following scenario may help you when importing DWG/DXF files into Vivien:

1. After choosing to open a DWG/DXF file, switch to the Layers tab on the Select DWG Settings dialog box. In this tab, you can clear the layers that you do not want imported in the first round. For example, you may only want to import the venue and all the layers related to it. In the case of a 2D CAD drawing, it is easier to extrude lines into walls and do everything else needed to complete the virtual venue. It will also be quicker as Vivien will have a lot less objects with which to work.
2. Once you have completed working on the venue, you may want to merge in the hang structures if they exist in the CAD file. Using the Merge command from the File menu, you can open the same CAD file once again, and choose the appropriate layer(s) from the Layers tab. When Vivien asks you to pick the insertion point, make sure you select Use 0,0,0 as Basepoint. This will ensure that everything in the new layer is placed accurately in the Vivien plot.
3. Continue in the same manner with fixtures and the other objects. Note that if in the CAD file the fixtures exist on different layers, you may want to bring these in separately/one by one as well.

Exporting DWG/DXF files

If you need to send your Vivien drawings to someone using another drafting program, you can export your file to the DWG or DXF file type. DWG and DXF formats are used to transfer documents to AutoCAD or other compatible drafting applications.

Entities that can be exported

• 2D DWG/DXF When you export Vivien objects to a 2D DWG/DXF file, all objects, including fixture attributes, are converted to lines.
• 3D DWG/DXF The objects that can be exported to a 3D DWG/DXF file and the resulting DWG/DXF entities are shown in the following table. Fixture attributes cannot be exported to 3D DWG/DXF.

Note: You cannot export truss.

Limitation

The slope near the end of two lines may be slightly off.

To export to DWG/DXF in 2D

1. From the File menu, choose DWG/DXF Export.

Result: The Export window appears.

2. In the Export window, navigate to the location where you want to save the exported file. Ensure that the destination appears in the Save in drop-down box.

3. In the File name box, type the name of the exported file.
4. From the Save as type drop-down list, choose the exported file type. There are a number of choices available for file type, based on AutoCAD versions.
5. Click Save.

Result: The Select DXF/DWG Settings For Export dialog box appears.

Note: You cannot export a 3D drawing from Vivien Report.

6. On the Scale tab, click the option button for the units to be used in the DWG/DXF drawing.

• To specify a custom unit of measurement, select the Custom option button, and then specify the mapping of the units of measurement to use in the exported file, in the DXF Unit To boxes.

7. Click the Layer tab.

8. Select the layers that you want to include in the DWG/DXF drawing by highlighting them and ensuring that the Export checkbox is checked.

1. Click Select All to select all the layers that are listed.
2. Click Select None to deselect all layers.

9. Click OK.

Importing Wavefront/Filmbox/Collada/3DS/glTF files

Vivien allows the import of models created in GL Transmission Format (.GLTF), Wavefront (.OBJ), Filmbox (.FBX), Collada (.DAE) and 3D Studio Max (.3DS) for use in Vivien. These models will be imported as one object, and their colors, texturing and materials will be preserved in the import.

Note: Any properties which are not supported by Vivien will be lost from the model on import.

To import Wavefront (.OBJ) / Collada (.DAE) / Filmbox (.FBX) / 3D Studio (.3DS) / glTF files

Note: This procedure creates a new Vivien document from the imported object file. If you are already working in a document, you are prompted to save any changes and close the document before you import the file into Vivien.

1. From the File menu, choose Open.

Result: The Import window appears.

2. In the Import window, from the File Type drop-down menu, select the desired file type you want to import. Files of this type will be visible in the window.
3. Navigate to the desired file, click the file name, and then click Open.

Result: The Scale window appears.

4. From the The Model was drawn in a 3D software where drop-down, select one of the following that describes how the software in which the object was drawn defines its 3D space.

Note: If you do not have this information, inquire with the person who created the model you are importing, or view the model in a model viewer such as in order to determine its orientation. You may also leave this option at its default (Z-axis points up) and if the object is not oriented correctly once imported, Rotate it as required.

• Z - axis points up
• Y - axis points up

5. From the The Model’s Base Point should be located drop-down, select one of the following that describes where the base point of the object should be:

• Exact Center
• Bottom Center
• Averaged Center
• Don’t Change

1. To have the insertion point of the model act instead as the basepoint, select the Move Model Base Point to Insertion Point checkbox.

6. In the Model is in the following Scale section, select the radio next to the scale you want to use for the model.

1. If Auto-Scale was selected, select the checkbox under the Auto-Scale radio to change how the object will be auto-scaled. Edit the auto scale as desired by editing the following fields/drop-down menus next to the radio: Scale Model to a length of [number] [units of measure] along the model’s [axis/side of model]

7. In the Mesh Decimation section, select the Reduce Polygons in your Model to checkbox to redraw and reduce the number of polygons used to display the model based on the original model.

Notes:

• Mesh Decimation is the process by which the number of polygons that make up a model/object is reduced, without altering its size and overall shape.
• Having many polygons in a file can reduce system performance. Reducing the number of polygons in a model can help Vivien operate quickly.

1. Select from the drop-down menu the percentage of polygons to reduce.

8. In the Mesh Decimation section, select the Reduce Polygons in your Wireframe Model to checkbox to reduce the number of lines used to display the model being imported in Wireframe views.

1. Select from the drop-down menu the percentage of polygons to reduce.

Note: Choosing a low percentage will increase Wireframe view performance after geometrically complex models have been imported. However, enabling only this option (i.e., not enabling Reduce Polygons in your Model to) will result in good Wireframe performance but poor Virtual View performance. Therefore, if the model being imported requires decimation, it is best to enable both options and choose the same percentage value for both.

9. Click Finish.

Result: The Import Summary window appears.

10. Click OK.

Result: The object will be imported into Vivien.

Exporting glTF files

You can export Vivien files complete with textures in the GL Transmission Format (.gltf). This option is available in the Virtual View tab or in any other Virtual View tab (including Custom Tabs).

In Vivien, you can export the following textures to the glTF material: base color, color texture, normal map, single sided, or double sided.

When a “.gltf” file is exported, an accompanying “.bin” file is created and any textures that were applied to objects (whether from Vivien Texture Library or Image Sources) are saved as individual “.png” files in the same location as the exported file. For convenience, all these files are automatically deposited into a folder of the same name as the exported glTF file.

Notes:

• Transparency (including transparency from Alpha textures) and other Material properties are not supported for export.
• Fixtures do not behave as light sources in the application where the resulting “.gltf” file was opened.

To export virtual view to glTF

1. From the File menu, choose GLTF Export.

Result: The GLTF Export window appears.

2. In the GLTF Export window, navigate to the location where you want to save the exported file.
3. In the File name box, type the name of the exported file.
4. From the Save as type drop-down list, choose glTF files (*.gltf) type.
5. Click Save.

Result: The virtual view is saved in glTF file format; the .gltf file, and the accompanying .bin and .png files are created and automatically saved in a new folder of the same name as that entered for the glTF file within the selected location.
