Submaster HTP merging with live values

At out house we have 2 subs. One is for the house lights, step lights and light locks and when at full everything is at the programmed level. The 2nd sub is the step lights and light locks. This always remains at 100% but it keeps the step lights and light locks on at the minimum level. and is overwritten by the house sub when it is raised. Is something like this what you are looking for? We have a base file to start any programming with  which has these subs by default.

I'm not sure I fully understand. The 2nd sub maps your lights' intensities to a desired minimum level (let's say 10%), so the sub itself can stay at 100%. Is it also stopping manual/live values from dipping below 10%? While not preventing going over 10%

I see what you are saying. So a fixture is recorded in to a sub at 10%. to make the fixture be at 10% the sub needs to be at full or 100%. while the sub is at "full" depending on the sub settings (HTP, LTP or priority) you can override the sub with manual values above 10% and manual/live values can take it below 10% 

Yea, exactly, that's my issue. live values going below 10%. I would like to define a sub to be the floor: live values can take the intensity higher/whereever, but not below the 10%.
This seems not possible to achieve. A pity.

I think it is. Set the sub with a higher priority than the cuelist or anything else. Then it should not let the live values below the sub values.

There is nothing, other than Park, Override and Shielded that will protect against manual values bringing down playback values.

I have a similar need.

Are you able to set a minimum level in the dimmer rack?

I set the aisle lights and light locks at a minimum level in the rack.

I have a Light Lock Sub with a higher "minimum" level for when the show is on

I have a House Light sub (0 - full) for audience lighting, that also includes the light locks.  the light locks get bright when teh house comes up, and gets dimmer when the house lights go down.  I **Cannot** take the light locks out (either with subs, park, cues, manual changes) because of the level set in the dimmer.

My aisle lights have a minimum level set in teh rack (60%) for when the venue is empty.

for show, the console powers up adn Parks the aisle lights at full. (very little, if nothing, can override the park).

Good luck.
