Hi John, I am not quite sure what you mean by copying masks into certain parameters. With the visual effects in Catalyst, some objects have modifiers while others do not. The sphere wireframe effect does not have any unique modifiers. One thing you could do however is create your own object and import that into Catalyst. The file would have to be a .obj. After creating the object you will need to place it in the Models folder and give it a unique DMX address. If you need further assistance feel free to let us know or try posting at catvx.com. catvx.com is monitored by the Catalyst developer, Richard Bleasedale.
