Easy View / Easy Stand Alone "Patches"
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 5:03 pm
I am experiencing trouble with how the fixtures are being displayed in my Easy View 2006 3D Visualizer.
I built the model in the construction mode and I hand placed & positioned the fixures where they belong (as they exist in the real world).
I have 44 fixtures - all mounted solid; no variable rotation or articulation.
I am using a new version of both ESA and EV.
On occasion I will open a show and then open the visualizer and I will recieve a message window telling me:
"Patch has just been modified. Do you wish to automatically update the changes to the visualizer patch?"
No matter which I select (Yes or No) - my fixures will snap back to their original (default) orientation and rotation - which is FAR from useful to me.
What am I doing wrong - or what can I do to keep my "stage" set the way that I need them to be.
BTW I have tried saving several copies of my stages in various locations for back-up purposes, but once the fixtures go back to default alignment I am HOSED on all stages.
Not cool!
S.O.S.
