I have a detailed floor plan of a venue sucesfully modeled 

I have imported 4 x EVENT LIGHT LM 75 fixtures these work well they have accurate gobo and colour wheels

In Real life i have each ficture sitting on top of a 2.4 M square truss towers xx is the fixture and .> <  indicate the direction the fixture is facing ( the control panel / LED)

In Onyx i have two of the fixtures with invert tilt and two with invert pan, in this way from the console i have got consistent and predictable movement of the fixture

xx  >                        < xx

xx  >                        < xx 

i cannot for the life of me get the fixtures to respond  as they do in Real Life i would have thought capture would be reading the DMX data from the console ( including the invert settings ) 

Any advice tips or tricks to resolve this would be greatly appreciated

Capture can only listen to the data you send it.

First test is one fixture oriented the same was as a real fixture (capture gives you an indication of the location of the power input to the fixture) with no pan/tilt invert or adjustment. Does it pan and tilt in the correct directions?

Looks like the pan range might not be correct in capture, it only ranges -270 to +270, where the real fixture goes -315 to +315. You shoud email library@capture.se if the capture fixture doesn't respond like the real world fixture, with as much info as possible as to the differences.
