Feature request. Blind effect build/preview without affecting stage

This was indeed implemented in 3.0, called Staging Mode.

Our previous answer was wrong: Staging Mode currently does not allow effects to run.

Currently the best way to visualize effects in Augment3d (when not in Live) is to have a cue in blind where the effects are active.

When I am in staging and go to modify an effect, the Augmented3D window stops updating and it switched to blind.  How can I test different effect settings in Nomad without switching back and forth into live?  It's pretty disruptive and if I'm trying to tweak the timing of a complex absolute effect, it's hard to see my change.

Our answer was incomplete or wrong. I edited the reply above for clarity.

Sorry for the confusion.

Regarding seeing live effects in A3d when in the Effects List, there is an existing ticket:

Augment3d should show running effects and their changes while in Effect Blind

Thank you for clarifying!  I will try the effect in a cue.  I'm thinking a separate cue list so I don't mess with my main show list.
