Inverted Fixtures

Hi Robert,

Would you be able to upload a showfile with these fixtures so we can take a look at your issue further?  We have some suspicions of what may be happening but a showfile would help immensely.

Would love to. but a heads up is due. None of the Profiles I found in the real library worked. Some had Pan and tilt as 1, 2 and 3,4 etc. So I had to experiment until I had something that works. The Pan and Tilt using my Lighhack control them very nicely and the beams can be pulled around in Aug3d. Except for the bumps when passing through the vertical (Like it thinks its looking down into the main body I think.

To help (I hope) I am sending the showfile, a pdf of the paper that came with a unit and my own notes as I try to educate myself on these things. I had arranged to go to a ETC outfit in Orlando adn have a one on one with MLs but Covid got in the way!

when you look at the 3D model you can actually see what's wrong. the fixture head is misplaced that's why the tilt axis is in the way. when pointing the light straight down you will see that it casts a shadow.

Yep, I know that is why I posted. You see if I turn the things upside down (so they look right in Aug3d nothing else works right. The Encoders, The XY map etc. I didn't mention that I have reversed the P and T in heads to get things right! I seem to have a lot of problems synching my Aug3D with everything else so off to look at your suggestions. This is one of those things that 10 minutes with some one who knew this stuff would solve it all. But as mentioned a meeting in Orlando got nixed. Thanks for weighing in there.

As they seem to have managed to get the beams where they want them for Sound of Music I'll research and experiment at home but wont change anything at the theater until the show finishes.
