2D Symbols not rendering in custom 180° rotated Side View (Paper Tab)      

Started By  simR
Hi everyone, I'm a new user of Capture form France ; I'm working on Capture 2025 and I'm having an issue with 2D symbols in the Paper tab. I have a rigged scaffolding tower. When I use the default side view, my fixtures appear correctly with their 2D plot symbols. However, I need a 'Stage Left' view (the opposite side). To achieve this, I move and I rotate the camera at 180°. As soon as I do this, the fixtures lose their 2D symbols and revert to their 3D wireframe representation (isomet...

Hello, I'm trying to distribute/align a selection of fixtures from the center instead from a corner, but I don't know if it's possible (I tried some Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys combination). Regards

Adjusting Fixture information in plots      

Started By  oneferny
Hi, I'm working on a project where many of the fixtures are very close to each other, and at the moment the way the channels appear on the plan means there's a lot of overlap/it's a big mess. Is there a way of adjusting the channel location relative to the unit, its priority, its background colour, etc Thanks

Rear projection screen – recommended workflow in Capture?      

Started By  Pace
Hi, I’m looking for the recommended workflow in Capture for creating a rear projection screen. For front projection, I usually use a simple flat object (or thin box) from the Library and set its width/height as the projection surface. That works fine. For rear projection, I’m unsure about the best approach: Should the screen be a flat object with a specific material / transparency Is an Image object preferred for rear projection use Is there a recommended way ...

Using Imported CAD Models for Fixtures: Is There a Solution?      

Started By  Lukas Schäffner
Is there a way to use imported CAD drawings of fixtures instead of the placeholder models that are sometimes available in the library Specifically, the Atomic 3000 LED from Martin is represented as a 'box'. On Martin's website, the model is available in DWG or 3DS file format. However, the imported model cannot be controlled via DMX. Is there a solution for this (Capture 2024) This often seriously breaks the immersion... I would be grateful for any ideas.

Floor Base Plate in Library?      

Started By  Phoneeko
I'm probably a total noob and doing it wrong... there are a million trusses in the library but i cannot find a simple floor 'base plate' object to attach a single fixture to. OFC i can just manually assign the fixtue to the 'Stage floor' location but then i'd be missing the base plates in the show inventory / report. What am i missing

Change DMX Mode for multiple fixtures in bulk?      

Started By  r2square
Folks, I have to change the DMX mode of 60 fixtures. Is there any way to make bulk changes for that in Capture 2025 When I select all of the fixtures in the Fixture tab, the moment I double-click any entry in the Mode column, the selection is lost and it only applies the change to the single item.
