I am verry happy with using capture Atlas, but would like to see some extras. Would really like to be able to change filter colors in the "design-selected items-slot frame", by typing in the desired field (i.e. Lee 201 would be L201). Not through the current way of browsing trough a long list of colors and dragging them to the plot.

Off course I also verry much would like to import 2D floor plans to start drawing from there.

Or is this already possible?

Hi,

Are you using the search field in Library tab?
Typing in L201 will give you the color at the top of the list, etc

Hope this helps!

Hello John,

Thank you for your reply.

This wil help a bit. But is still a bit more difficult, as you still have to remove the other filters first, before you can ad new ones.

But thanks for the tip!

It's slightly troubling.

However, it makes it great to add two different colors to the same frame.
Also having the ability to add frost to the same frame.
ie - L203 + R132

With that said, I hope this feature never goes away.

There's a quick way to remove color from fixtures. Select the Fixtures tab from the Project window and click on the Channel column. From there you can select groups of channels by holding down the Shift key. In the Alpha,Beta or Gamma view click on the gear and select Remove filters.

Happy to help!
