Years ago Martin Show Designer had a very useful feature to focus lights called "Look Through Lens". Selecting a fixture and this function opened a window that allowed the user to literally look through the lens of the fixture to focus it. A very fast way to focus lights, it would be a nice thing to have when making a look with no DMX input.

Have you tried File->Export Focus Sheets function?

Dear Vasilis.

In my focus sheet I don't see any actual focus information like beam outline.

I only see where the fixture is aiming at.

Also there is no difference between "Humans's up" and "fixture's up" in the export sheet orientation.

Am I missing something?
Best regards,

Alexander

"Human's up" only makes a difference if the fixture is actually upside down or tilted.

If you want the camera of the live view moved "inside" the fixture rather than fixture's aming position (focus sheet), this is a feature we currently do not support.
