Hello everyone.
I´ve got a question about editing fixtures.
Example:
I create a fixure, for example a Par can and patch it 8 times beacause I have eight of them in real. I set the beam color to white for all of them.
Now I put a green color filter on numer 4. (in real-life). I also want to have number 4 yellow in 3D-View. So I open number 4 in the fixtures editor, change the beam color to green and save. The problem is:
If you edit one fixture of a group of fixtures which you created together, the changes will be saved for all fixtures of this "virtual group".
So how can I only change just one fixture without recreating it completely new?
This also happens with dmx channels, levels, etc, not just the beam color for 3D-View!
Greetings

Re: Independent editing of a fixture
Well, for me its about the logic of the software. In other words, you are using a fixture with a unique configuration. It means, you can put 99 Par Cans, and all would be the same, because they read the same configuration file. A solution could be "create" a new fixture with diferent configuration, or a new function called "Make independent" or "Make Unique"....
And for make independent the 4th fixture from the rest... you must use "duplicate" instead of "clone"

Re: Independent editing of a fixture
Here it is.
You will see:
The first four fixtures I created "together", if I change anything on one of these it will be saved for the other three, too.
The other 2 fixtures I created seperatly and you can change anything which will not be saved.
So: Will be there an option (check box or something) to enable changes to just be saved on the one fixtures which is selected?

Re: Independent editing of a fixture
You effectively have to create one "parcan" fixture, for each different color.
Like in the attached lightshow.
