Setting up several fixtures at once

How it works

1. Select the fixtures:
   • In the fixture list or in 3D, ⌘ / Ctrl + click adds more fixtures or removes them again.
   • ⇧ + click in the list selects a whole range.
   • “select all” on a group, e.g. “Moving heads”, selects every fixture in that group.
2. “For all selected” appears on the right. At the top: “Hide all” or “Show all” and “Copies per fixture”.
3. Under “Placement” (edit mode only):
   • “Mounting”: put them all on one object, evenly spaced, or “free on the floor” (more in Putting fixtures on truss and stands).
   • “Shift by”: enter a step in metres and click “to the left”, “to the right”, “forward” or “back” (as seen from the audience).
   • “Mount”: “hanging”, “standing” or “sideways”, as far as it works for all fixtures.
   • “Height above floor” and “Put on” when all fixtures stand freely. A click on “Tripod”, “Totem” or “Gravity LS 331 B” puts a holder of its own under each fixture.
   • “Aim” for uplights, bars and lasers, “Mounting angle” with “Tip forward” and “Tip sideways” (see Tipping fixtures and the test beam), “Fixture shape” and “Rotation”.
   • “Detach all from object” and “Place all automatically”.
4. Below that, depending on the selection:
   • “Fixture model” with “Housing color”, “Model in this series”, “Other model …” and “Automatic”.
   • “Combo fixture” → “Swap sides”.
   • “DMX” with “Mode” and “Spark trigger”.
   • “Invert movement” with “Invert pan” and “Invert tilt” for moving heads.
