Known Issues

• To prevent issues with geoms appearing as outdated when deploying scenes from Graphic Hub, select "Overwrite creation date" and "Overwrite modification date" in the Deploy Direct Copy panel in Graphic Hub Manager.

• If the Geom of a scene is outdated or empty when creating a transition logic template, Template Builder blocks use of the scene.
  To fix this, save or update the scene in Viz Artist 4.2. The following feature must be enabled in the Viz Artist config file (see the Viz Artist User Guide for more info):

  • Enable automatic creation of merged geometries when saving a transition logic scene:
    AutoExportTransitionLogicGeometries = 1

• Although reference scene is now accessible in the new Scene Browser, it is not possible to rename a reference scene from Viz Artist in Template Builder. Renaming is not reflected in Template Builder and may cause issues with transition logic scene import.

• If a template is created in Template Wizard, the scene must be replaced at least once in Template Builder before the scene reload feature will work.
