Groups/Programming Updating

Hi Guys

Probably an obvious question, but I don't have the rig to check it - and want to know in advance if it works....

I have a show with 30 VL3500 Washes. I have created some 3-step chases using the 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 switching them on in a cue-only stack under grouping on the screen...... So far so good - I have a nice chase.

What I've done, is set up a group called VL3500's, then 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 groups as well. When I recorded the 3-step chase, I selected the 1/3 or whatever VL3500 Group.

IF I have an upcoming show where I now have 50 or 60 VL3500's. If I update my 'master' group with the extra VL's will it automatically update my groups such as 1/3, 2/3 with the additional fixtures - or will I need to update those too?

Normally, I'd clone, but this would be a better option as cloning can get a tad messy with existing show files on specific cues (for me) I tend to find. If I know using the above method works, I can ensure I program my show in a neater way for additional fixtures.

Sure its an obvious answer.....

Cheers
Neil
