Dimmer objects not importing position angle from vectorworks

Question

Whenever I import from vectorworks the angles of my generic dimmer objects get reset to pointing straight downwards. I have focused these lights in vectorworks to a specific position (which seems to be hard to do in augment3d) and this is lost every time I need to make updates. 
 
 Is there any nice way to have the angles from VW get imported into the augment3d file without doing it manually?

You'll need to make sure the layer(s) with your focus points is visible during the export along with the layer(s) for your fixtures. 
 The plug-in only looks at layer visibility and not class visibility when determining what to export (see: Vectorworks Plugin: My Object Didn't Export from Vectorworks or Import in Augment3d - Electronic Theatre Controls Inc )
