Position fan out
Fan out dialog
Select Options -> Fan Out from the position control's menu to open the fan out dialog.
The fan out dialog is used to set various fan-out patterns quickly in installations where fixtures are
hanging symmetrically. The fan out tool works by modifying pan and tilt values on all selected fixtures
in the current scene by symmetrical amounts. To create a fan out pattern, select two or more fixtures
and drag the delta pan and delta tilt bars to set the range of the fan out. If an odd fixture number is
selected, the 'middle' fixture will act as a center for the pan and tilt fan-outs respectively. If an even
number of fixtures is selected, the pattern will form around a 'virtual' center fixture.
Enable Center Delta on Home to default the middle fixture's pan and tilt to the home position.
The spread functions are used to spread the pan and tilt over a 'physical' range. It works by
distributing the pan and tilt delta from the actual position of the first and last fixture in the selection
order. The effectively of the spread function depends very much on the actual physical locations of the
fixtures.
Custom order
The order of which the pan and tilt delta values are applied to the fixtures may be changed in the apply
values by selections. Using the custom options opens up a list where the fixture order may be
customized. To add a fixture to the list, select the fixture icon. To remove a fixture from the list,
deselect the fixture icon. The selection order may be changed further, by dragging the lines around in
the list. Custom selections may be saved for later use.
