No profile found: upload the manual
If a moving head has no fixture profile, the designer reports it under “What's missing”. If you find nothing in the fixture database, upload the manual and we'll build the profile from it.
Step by step
- Click “Find profile”.
- If several profiles are missing, choose the right fixture under “Fixture”.
- Try “Search the fixture database” first. It opens “Fixtures & stage” with the fixture database for this fixture (see Adding a profile from the fixture database).
- If you find nothing there, open “Find profile” again and click “Upload manual …”.
- Choose the manual as a PDF, or photos of the pages with the DMX chart and the gobos. You can pick several files at once.
- “Thanks! Your manual has arrived. We’ll let you know when the profile is ready.” appears.

- How Droplit recognizes your lightsDroplit reads your SoundSwitch project and builds your rig from it: which fixtures there are, what they can do, which groups they belong to and in which order they stand. You don't have to create anything by hand.Summary
- Roles: what a fixture does in showsThe role decides what a fixture does in your shows. The designer assigns it when it recognizes your rig, and if it got something wrong, you change it with a few clicks.Summary
- Roles & order: check groups and rolesIn the “Roles & order” window you check and change what the designer recognized from your patch: groups, order, roles, moving heads, positions and gobo mapping.Summary
- Taking over your rig in another projectA checked rig doesn't only apply to copies with exactly the same patch. If you open a project where your fixtures are patched a little differently, the designer takes over groups, roles and order from the most similar rig you have already checked.Summary
- Hiding fixtures you don't bringNot every fixture in your patch comes to every gig. If you hide it, it disappears from the 3D view and the floor plan, and in “Fixtures & stage” the shows leave it out too.Summary
