Spot00099.pngChanging device properties

To edit the properties of a lighting instrument or accessory:

1.      Select one or more lighting devices.

2.      From the Object Info palette or the context menu, select Edit, or simply double-click a single instrument or device.

The Lighting Device dialog box opens. Many of the lighting device parameters are the same as those available from the Object Info palette, as described in Lighting device properties. Only the parameters that are different are described here.

3.      Click the Instrument Properties tab.

4.      Click the Light Information tab.

5.      Click the Shutters tab to set the shutter cut information.

Specify the depth and angles for the top, left, right, and/or bottom shutters. Each shutter is located at 90º intervals around the lighting instrument, and can be adjusted +/- 45º. The shutter depth ranges from 0 to 100%, with 100% cutting through the center of the light source.

6.      Click the User Data tab to edit user field value information.

User data fields and any default values display here, and the default values can be edited by selecting a field name and entering the new value in Value.

7.      The remaining tabs are associated with instruments that will be exported to the Vision program for previz. When Vision is installed, and the lighting instrument has a Fixture Mode, the gobo, color, and animation properties of the instrument can be set here.

The default specifications are set according to the Fixture Mode specified in the Object Info palette. On any of these tabs, click Reset Defaults to restore the default data for the lighting device based on the Fixture Mode. 

The properties of one or more selected devices or objects can also be edited from the Shape tab of the Object Info palette (see Lighting device properties).

A selected lighting device or a selection of devices can be cut, copied, and pasted with the Edit menu commands. See Objectbewerking for more information on the basic editing commands.
