Resizable / Scalable DIM Object Issue in New Visu - savaskorkmaz - 03.01.2026

Hi,
I would like to report an issue we are experiencing with scalable DIM objects in the new Visu graphics editor.
In the screenshot I attached:
  • The object on the left is a switch object
  • The object on the right is a DIM object
  • Both objects use the same square PNG icon
    (yellow for ON, grey version for OFF)
When we resize the switch object, we can stretch it horizontally and turn it into a long rectangular shape, as seen on the left side of the image.
However, when we try to resize the DIM object, the icon remains as a fixed square in the center. The surrounding frame is stretched, but the icon itself does not scale or extend horizontally, so we cannot match the desired rectangular shape.
This behavior prevents us from adapting DIM icons to real-world luminaire proportions.
In many SCADA and building automation projects, our clients request icons that visually correspond to the actual physical length of lighting fixtures. Our typical workflow is:
  1. Import an AutoCAD floor plan into Visu
  2. Place icons over luminaires
  3. Resize the icons to match the fixture length
In the old Visualization system, both:
  • switch objects
  • dim objects
could be freely scaled in this way.
In the new Visu editor, scaling works only for switch objects — but not for DIM objects.
If this restriction was added intentionally (for UI or safety reasons), we kindly request an optional parameter such as:
Quote:“Allow scalable DIM icon”
So that system integrators who need this feature can enable it when required.
Scalable DIM objects are important for us in professional lighting visualizations, especially in large-scale architectural and SCADA projects.
Thank you for your support.

Post a screenshot with widget settings.

Hi,
I attached widget settings. If we do only icon there is no problem but we use dim objects with always with icon and value together.

This will be fixed in the next version.
