Symmetry Adjustments
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2022 11:08 pm
Is there a way to adjust symmetry between fixtures?
I see a button that says Symmetry when I right-click the viewer on the Setup page, but clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything.
It seems like I can never know what fixtures the software is going to consider symmetrical with others.
As an example, lets say addresses 001,021,041,&061 are moving heads. You would think that 001 and 061 would be a pair and 021 and 041 would be a pair. Sometimes it is, but other times it pairs 001 with 021 and 041 with 061. Now for my display to look symmetrical, I need to address them as 001 - 041 - 021 - 061. This is really counterintuitive and makes additional notes necessary to repeat a build from one location to the next.
If I wanted to apply a quick chase to all of my fixtures, it runs through them in the order they're addressed, not the order they're mapped in the viewer.
I feel like we need a symmetry editor of some kind to generate cohesive sequences.
