Trying to build scenes for 4-4bar's using the 3D stage. But I only see one fixture instead of 4.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
Downloaded latest software and scan lib.
Thanks,
Brad

This can be tricky but it has a workable fix. I made a custom 3 channel profile for the 4 bar and then you can just simply use generic RGb fixtures for the RGB channels for the 4 bar. That will allow you to see RGB color output from 4 different fixtures in the 3D. The my dmx profile creator and the 3D don't support multiple fixtures with RGB channels. so fixtures like the 4 bar that is intended to have a single profile since it is one single fixture with multiple beam outputs we can't actually make a single profile for that fixture but we can make several smaller profiles to "split it up" for it to work in the 3D and the program. Make sense?

Hmmm... I bit confusing, but I'll play around with it and see what I come up with.
so, in the editor, I drop in my 4-4bar profiles that you made, and then in the 3D modeler, I see there is that same profile listed, do I need to drop 4 of those into the 3D scene for each 4Bar? And if so, how will the editor know how to talk to that setup?

Ok, I think I have the idea, but I am having problems finding the right fixture in the generic folder. The rgb fixture requires 5 lights to take up the 15 channels of that make up the 4bar. The rgb dimmer, is configured differently. So which generic rgb fixture should I be dropping in to my 3D scene?

no no no, you want this profile: http://db.tt/dDoxbiS
Then use 4 of the generic RGB profiles. Make sense?

I may have to give you a call for clearer direction. Since the DMX channel assignments are different on my 4bar than what you just gave me, I not sure how this will work.
I have to leave for a few hours, but will be back in the office this afternoon. I'll give you a call and maybe you can walk me through it.

It's really very simple.
Use the for bar control channel profile I sent linked you too in my post above and patch it like so in this picture:
The control profiles are highlighted in green and the other profiles are Generic RGB fixtures. Make sense?

Ok, that's the info I was looking for. I have them working in 3D space, now I'll take the file home tonight and see if it works with my lights.
Thanks for the personal attention on this.

No problem. I am sure it will work fine. Enjoy and have fun.
