Open a fixture's properties by right-clicking on it in the Fixture navigator and selecting 'Properties'.
Address Tab[edit]
| Fixture name | enter the name to be given to this fixture or use the automatically assigned name. |
| Fixture image | Select the image to be displayed in list and tree views. This default image is provided by the template used to create the fixture. |
| Fixture address | The first combo box allows you to select which interface port to use, the second selects which DMX line to use and the edit box is used to enter the physical address. |
If you change the address it may conflict with another fixture. See Snagging tools
Attitude Tab[edit]
This dialog provides a means of defining where and in which direction the fixture is. The fixture location displays where in your space the fixture is located. This is defined in the virtual space map. The fixture orientation can be defined by adjusting the slider on the control. Therefore a moving fixture the orientation is not the zero position but the centred position.
| Fixture Location | this is the fixture's location in the rig |
| Fixture Orientation | use this to indicate the direction the fixture is pointing in. This makes positioning the fixture beam much easier. |
You can change the parameter properties also. You might want to change the colours or gobos of only one fixture for example.
