Artist Help:Fixture Control Fanning

This dialog provides a method of fanning the values of a parameter of each fixture in a group. For example, you can have all the dimmers selected and set the first to zero and have each successive one a fractional part up to the last one at full brightness. You could have a fixture at a position and fan out the positions of all the others in the group relative to the first.

Control

The first control in the dialog is a copy of the control for the parameter you are setting. The function of the control is dependant on what mode is selected.

Create a colour Gradient

• If your fixture group contains colour mixing devices, activate all the fixtures you wish to be in the gradient.
• Select the 'First' radio button. This will set the control to the first active fixture in the group.
• Set the colour of this fixture.
• Select the 'Last' radio button. This will set the control to the Last active fixture in the group.
• Set the colour of this fixture.

You will now have a colour gradient similar to the one shown above.

Create a position fan

• If your fixture are moving (yoke or mirror) devices, activate all the fixture you want to fan.
• Select the 'First' radio button to set control to the first active fixture.
• Set the position of this fixture.
• Select the 'Last' radio button to set the control to the last active fixture.
• Set the position for this fixture.

You now have a fan of position between the two points you have set.
