Assembly |
Top Previous Next |
Assembly grouping is similar to normal grouping except that fixtures in the group are still accessible individually.
A good example of an assembly would be a bar of 4 PARs
Example Place 4 PAR 64 in a row and one pipe (made with cylinder primitive)
Select all 4 Pars and the pipe make sure the pipe is picked (red) this will be the main part of the assembly
Click the Assemble icon (or CTRL+G)
And the result should look like this.
Right-click on the pipe and choose properties
In the Properties select Assembly Options
-Locked When locked is enabled, no settings changes will be allowed for that assembly
-Allow Move The child objects of the assembly will (not) move away from the main part.
-Allow Rotate The child objects of the assembly will (not) rotate on the main part.
-Allow Scale The child objects of the assembly will (not) scale one the main part.
-Allow Focus The child fixture objects of the assembly will (not) focus when using the focus tools (example, a blinder fixture, each source is fix in the casing)
-Allow Patch The child fixture objects of the assembly will (not) be available for individual patch (example, a Bar of 6 PAR in series, only one address to set on the main part of the assembly)
-Allow Replace The child fixture objects of the assembly will (not) be available for replacing
Edit Mapping Some fixtures assembly used multiple Base address In such case you can define segments to use as base and connect each part of the fixture assembly to a base
