In some projects, I use snapshots of still images to create lighting scenes to present to clients. One thing I miss is the ability to edit and update these snapshots, since we occasionally need to make changes. It would be something similar to what we have with groups, camera positions in catalogs, etc.: updating existing items when they need to be modified. The feature I currently use — and which I believe is the most common among users — involves clicking on the snapshot without activating ...

Hi! I work a lot on non-conventional venues an scenic installations, and usually work with fluorescent and led tubes. I wonder if it could be possible to update the generic fluorescent models to something more realistic, like the used for the Eurolite UV-Tubes, and also keep the ability of using colour gels on them. At least in the lastest library, the generic fluorescent tubes do not throw 360º light. I know that nowadays there are tons of full colour LED alternatives, but some of thes...

Hi, I would like to clean 'the recent section', but i dont find a way to do it. Here is my problem: I work on several very different projects, and I accumulate irrelevant items from one project to another. When I switch computers between my desktop and my laptop, the content of the “Recent” section is not preserved. When I make a wrong choice, it remains in the “Recent” list. Few proposition for the recent items section: 1. allow users to remove unwanted...

I would like to view the information of a fixture before inserting it into the project. When accessing Library > Light Fixtures and selecting a fixture, it is necessary to insert it into the project to view its characteristics. I suggest that, when selecting it in the library with Ctrl Enter or a double click, we can view its characteristics without the position, rotation, and other information that only appear when the light fixture is inserted into the project.

Computers are very good at counting, Capture is still a bit shy to admit it can.  Could we add some counting magic to Capture - How many fixtures in a selection - How many objects in a selection - How many objects in a group - How many dmx addresses in a selection - How many objects on a layer - How much weight in a selection  This is all usefull information to make available at a glance. Maybe in a statusbar, maybe in selected items, maybe in a new to be created inf...

It would be useful to add a 'Select all objects with this texture' hotkey and a 'Go to settings for the selected texture' hotkey. Currently, the path to select all objects with a single texture is too long: Select object - Selected item - Scroll down - Double-click on the material - Edit - Right-click on the material - Select Using Object Adding the ability to create a hotkey for this action would greatly speed up painting all models at the initial rendering stage. And the second hotkey ...

When importing an MVR made in capture to GrandMA3, I end up with a lot of 'Grouping' objects which usually contain nothing, but sometimes contain fixtures depending on whether I have grouped them in Capture. Typically, I will make an 'LX Only' MVR file which ignores all the geometry and gives me just the fixtures so I can keep the showfile lightweight. It would be great to have a couple of checkboxes in the MVR output dialogue such as 'Fixtures only' and 'Ignore grouping' to speed up t...

Hi Again! So another useful feature would be to have be able to save userprofiles. For example; I always export , top view, side view, perspective view and front view of my stage. And inside I have a couple of different settings like 'Curren Day' information etc. Would be a timesaver and a to be able to load a preset for differens documents, and maby save favorite fixtures etc. And now to the Extended document part... So right now I have to export my plots to .PDF one by one.... An...

Hi! Thanks for the stream today Capture Team. One of my request got answered, But I want to give a bit more information about what I'am missing. I would like to link a group of fixtures to the position of an object (for example a truss), and then the fixtures will use the objects fysical value as it's origio. When dealing with trusses that are in an odd position, for example diagonal, I have to either start positon the fixtures on the truss in center, or just flex with it manually. Wh...
