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.

If you make a library request and send the cad file to library@capture.se sometimes it is possible to make such improvements to the library. It is always a balance between keeping it real and keeping it lightweight.
