Full curtain shutters in A3D on a Custom Fixture Profile

I recently was working with the Elation Fuze Profile and had to correct the fixture profile in Eos to allow it to function correctly regarding shutters. Something I noticed though is that in A3D 100% is 'full shutter' but that only covers half of the beam, whereas in person, the Fuze profile has full-beam shutters, so 100% covers the entire beam. Is there any way to define this on a fixture profile that does not currently have a supported A3D profile?

I was hoping this might be in the physical data section, but it doesn't appear to be.

Thanks,

Ben

I've been able to hack this together previously by changing the Thrust Range from 0-100 to 0-200.

As usual, sktusing has the answer.

With these fixtures that use Frame A/B 1 through 4, set the User Range to 0-200 on Frame A/B 1-4.

Then you *also* need to expand the range on Thrust A thru D.

These ranges are new to v3.0.0.

We can update the Fixture Library to make these full-curtain shutters "official". Do you happen to know if all Fuze Profiles have full-curtain shutters?

Other ones we know about are Clay Paky Scenius Profile, GLP Impression S350, and High End SolaFrames, SolaHyBeam, and SolaWash

Brilliant, thank you both!

That would be great Matt. All of the Fuze Profiles do indeed have full-curtain shutters.

Thank you!! I am doing pre-vis with Ayrton Diablos, which have full-beam shutters, and was just about to give up on trying to make this work. I could see that I needed to turn 100% into 200% but could not work out how or where to do this. You've saved me a lot of stress.
