Importing a Venue

A graphic representation of your venue or stage production can be imported for use in

the 3D Graphic window. This file, referred to as a “venue”, is stored with the show

file. If a new venue is imported, it will overwrite the previous venue in the show file.

The venue can be created using most common 3D modeling software packages, then

saved in one of the following formats for import:

Note: This version of console software does not support files in AutoCAD 2000

format or files which contain “3D solids” information. Drawings created in AutoCAD

2000 should be saved as an AutoCAD R14 drawing.

Note: When importing, it is helpful to know the point of origin on which the venue

graphic is based, although it can be determined in the event this information is unavail-

able.

Import a venue:

Step 1. Insert Zip® disk containing your venue file into

console Zip® drive.

Step 2. At File menu, select Import Venue.

Step 3. At Open window, select your 3D model file and click
