MVR XSD schema

[petrvanekrobe]

I think it would be good to have a validation scheme for MVR as well. I created a very, very early working version, it is missing any type of uniqueness or other types of checking, it doesn't even check for a particular version, but it can serve as a good start for anyone using MVR, to further extend it, to ensure good cross-compatibility between various software.

Where does the Classing in a Fixture comes from? What is its meaning? I do not find it anywhere mentioned in the spec? It is a UUID, but what is the difference between the Classing uuid and the uuid already present in the Fixture tag?

Thanks!

I think this is missing in the MVR Version: 1.5 - draft 2, i can see this being used in MA3 export.

Apparently it is an additional way to classify Fixtures, apart from Layers :-).

Classes are a VectorWorks thing.
