It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to select fixture on the magic sheets the same way as MA2 Layouts or Hog Plots. would like to be able to have fixture selection be in order selected by the lasso tool rather than just numerical. for example. lets say i had a grid of 9 fixture 1-9 in a 3X3 grid, 1 being upper left 9 being lower right. if i lassoed the array from lower left drawing the lasso box right then up, id like to have the fixture selection result be 7-9,4-6,1-3, or if a draw the lasso box from same position up then right, have the selection order result be 7,4,1,8,5,2,9,5,3. lets say I start from upper right then lasso down then left then Id want the selection result to be 3,6,9,2,5,8,1,4,7
This is most helpful when trying to create an effect that I want to move across a large array of un-evenly positioned fixtures in a uniformed manner lets say like a intensity wave from stage right to stage left. Especially helpful when i have 300 plus fixtures! grouped together in pods about the set. the only option i have right now is to spend a great deal of time trying to create the "stage right to stage left " order by clicking on each individual fixture in order i want and praying that i don't double click or miss a fixture resulting in having to start all over again!
Perhaps a lasso selection option toggle that lets us choose the manner of lasso, for example Default (lasso select behaves as currently is) or Custom (lasso select behaves by cursor direction as I described)
