The library on the left side displays the available objects to be inserted. Once selected, the object
automatically appears in the visualization window. The object selected may be previewed before it is
inserted. Click on "Select" to insert the object in your stage.
All the 3D objects available in the software are situated in the objects library. However you can use your
own objects (X format). It is better to use simple objects because it is a real-time application and big
objects can make the program run slowly.
If you want to insert objects coming from another library, you will have to choose whether you want to
copy the object in the library.
Insert Fixtures
As for the objects, the software makes it possible to insert fixtures from the library by clicking on "Add
fixture(s)" from the "Stage" menu or from the standard toolabr. The following window appears :
Select a fixture from the list and then patch it using the "Patch" button after having specified the starting
DMX address and the number of devices or by drag&drop. Make sure you select the correct universe first
by selecting the right tab.
It is also possible from the toolbar or by clicking with the right button of the mouse on a fixture to :
- copy/paste fixture(s)
- duplicate fixture (s) with a wizard
- rename a fixture
- delete fixture (s)
All actions can be canceled with the UNDO button.
To select a fixture, click on it or click and draw a selection rectangle. Then, moving the selected fixture (s)
becomes possible by holding the left button of the mouse. To move a fixture to another universe, just drag
it to the corresponding tab and this will open the new universe.
When controlled by another sofware, the 3D visualizer can receive the patch informations directly. 2
modes are available :
"Automatic" mode will insert all fixtures from the controller patch and remove the current devices of the 3D
visualizer that are not in the controller.
“Manual" mode, allows to patch any fixture coming from the controller or not (several fixtures can be
patched to the same DMX address)
