Hi Guys, I'm quite new to Capture and I have a general question: How do I get the right orientation for moving heads (according to the real world)? Is the model's display in Capture at the same position as at the real fixture?
Some moving heads - such as Martin devices - have a frontside mark. When I place fixtures in Capture with xyz-rotation 0°/0°/0° where would be this dedicated frontside?
- Thanks a lot!

The display in capture should be the same as in real life.
If it's not correct email library@capturesweden.com and they will fix it for you.

Most martin fixtures I have worked with have the display in front.

Thank you! That helps me...

Yes, Martin fixtures have the Display on the frontside. But additionally they have a label at the basement... if it's not lost! ;)

Greetings...
some Clay paky fixtures... seem to be reversed, in recent weeks I'll be doing some tests and if so I'll write to library@.

I ask.. is it possible to graphically have an arrow, a small marker that indicates which is the front or head display/cable?

Thanks

In plot view, you can see where the power cable (pigtail) is. It is indicated by a little ⚡️.
