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.

3D Flip Fixtures      

Started By  thedreamer
Hello, I'm looking for a way to 'flip' fixtures in 3D while keeping the same rotation/position values. So they face 180° the other way. I have thousands of those as each is a pixel from pixel tape - all with different positions/orientations - so the traditional methods I know won't work. It's been drawn in another CAD software and imported into Capture using MVR. After the import it looks like the pixels are facing the wrong side. Attached is a demo file of what I mean - at the m...
