Note that underneath the visual representation of the fixtures the
actual cells used are shown in light grey.
If any of your fixtures have been naughty and ended up beyond the
bounds of the grid after rotating you can use context menu item
'Crop Grid' to make them behave.
6.6.4 Other Layout Editor tools
The Layout Editor’s context menu has some useful tools for laying out
fixtures quickly.
Context menu - 'Arrange Fixtures'
This is a very useful tool to quickly layout fixtures in a grid. For
example you might have 20x Colourblocks across four towers, each
with five blocks.
1> Select the fixtures and create a group.
2> Edit the layout of this group.
3> Select 'Arrange Fixtures' from the context menu.
4> Select the [Height] softkey and type '5'. (Width will
automatically be calculated.)
5> Toggle [Crop Grid to fixtures] so that it is highlighted. (This will
make the grid adjust to fit.)
6> Toggle [Arrange in..'] to 'Columns' or 'Rows'. 'Rows' will
arrange fixtures left to right and 'Columns' will arrange top to
bottom.
7> The [Shape] option allows you to arrange in Rectangle, Oval or
Triangle.
8> Select [OK] to complete.
Context menu - 'Highlight'
When enabled this will highlight selected fixtures live on stage. This
can be useful to see which fixture you are positioning in the layout.
Context menu - 'Arrange/Select Only'
