Fixtures & stage in Droplit
“Fixtures & stage” is the full 3D visualizer right inside Droplit. This is where you set up your stage and hide fixtures that your shows shouldn't use.
Step by step
- Open “Fixtures & stage”. A short guide is at the top, the visualizer below it.
- Click a fixture to see its details. Hold ⌘ / Ctrl or ⇧ to select several.
- Open “Gear” or “Furniture & decor” in the bar on the left to move fixtures, put them on stands or add objects. Edit mode turns on by itself (see Editing the setup).
- Use the eye (●) in the fixture list (“Gear” → “Fixtures”) to hide what you don't bring. The designer briefly shows “{n} fixture(s) hidden – shows will leave them out.”
- “Back” at the top left takes you back.

- The workbench: setting up the visualizer with the toolbar on the leftThe visualizer has a new layout: instead of one long sidebar and lots of buttons at the top, there is a toolbar on the left with seven areas. Only one area is open at a time, and the 3D view stays large next to it. At the top you see which location and which setup are loaded, and the search gets you to any function in two seconds.Summary
