Excluding or including parameters when storing objects
Parameters that are active in the editor can be excluded when storing a scene, cue, chase step, or
library. This is useful, for example, when programming a scene with color levels only, but obvi-
ously you need to bring up the dimmer to see what you are doing.
To exclude a parameter when storing an object
