Help With Fixture and 3D

Post by sparkymarkyracing »

Hi Guys, I hope one of you can help, I have created a fixture for my showtec 575 clubspot MKII and the dimmer channel is reversed on the fixture so 0 is 100% on the fixture and 100 is 0% this all works ok but when i view in 3D the dimmer channel has to be up to 100% to see the light output of the light and this tells the fixture to put the dimmer at 0, when i created the fixture i tried reversing so first will be 255 and last will be 0 but this will not let me do this any ideas?

Channel 7 – Dimmer
0-255 From open to close (100-0%)

This is the channel details from the manual

I don't think you can do anything within the Scanlibrary to alter this, it assumes that it will go from 0-100% rather than from 100-0%. As do most other fixtures, I have never come across a dimmer being this way around before.

As long as you know what is what when doing things live all will be well.

I know it makes it easier to visualise thing first, but I am afraid thats the way it is.
