Dimmer fixture misses Yoke

this was a change during beta. the video you watched seems to have been filmed with an older version. what you're seeing in your screenshot is currently expected behavior.

Aha. Good to know.

Thanks, as always,ueli ; )

The reason for this is that there's an infinite variety of yokes and hanging hardware, plus over-hung, underslung, out on a boom, on the floor etc...

So instead of trying to show that infinite variety, the fixture moves around the place where the yoke bolts to the fixture body, as that's the same no matter what you're using to rig it.

I see were you are comming from.

But since it is the standard-Dimmer-Fixture in a S4-Shape i always do have math involved.

Let me think, on the paper, out loud.

It could be a:

- PAR (different sizes)

- S4

- any other Profiler

- PC

- Fresnel

- LED-Pixel

I still got your point.

BUT

In case we a thinking of a theater place. What would be the question to the Stagecrew?

-> Wich hight is the pipe right now?

You than still have to add the Clamp in your Math, to be extra precise.

But besides the Clamp and having the Yoke on top you can have a quite good eyeballed result.

And rotation should not mess with that! Meaning: on the Floor, Under the Pipe, on top of the Pipe.

And yes, after testing with a Movinglight, i think rotation will mess it up. Because a Dimmer has no Tilt-value in the Console. What a pity.

Hmmmm.

What a lovely quest to think about. And you always will have people argue against your decision.

Well well. I think after having thought about it so much, i can happily live with it.

Thank you very much for making your point clear. Helped me a lot.
