Hi Forum,
Would it be possible to create a macro that stacks(z-axis) the selection to a specifc x,y grid position? The order is not important
For example for fixtures I would use
Fixture 1 thru 100 are now stacked on position 0/0.
The idea is to create something for groups in combination with a SelFix:
1. SelFix Group "Spots Grid"
2. run the macro
3. Store Group 100
Group 100 has all the fixtures on 0/0 position.
Set Selection MAtricks "XWidth" 1 "YWidth" 1
Store MAtricks "StackOnZ"
Reset Selection MAtricks
----
Group "Spots Grid"
MAtricks "StackOnZ"
Store Group 100
Thanks Andreas it's close but not exactly what I was looking for.
I would like the grid x position to be a parameter.
The idea behind it is to be able to great a dimmer effect across groups.
For example:
Group "Spots"
Go+ Macro "StackOnZ_0_0"
Store Group "Dimmer_Effect" /merge
ClearSelection
Group "Wash"
Go+ Macro "StackOnZ_1_0"
Store Group "Dimmer_Effect" /mergeThen there will be a phaser running that uses the group "Dimmer Effect"
Do you think that this would be possible?
I have tried playing around with the Matricks settings but I am not able to change the x position in the grid
Couldn't you just do:
Grid 0/0
Group "Spots"
Grid 0/1
Group "Wash"
And use PhaseY instead of PhaseX in your phasers recipe/matricks ?
or do you have some specific reasons for the z-axis stacking?
No there is no specific reason for z-axis stacking.
It was just an idea, i thought it was a good approach.
Ok thanks I have puzzled it out with all the insight.
Ended up using a PhaseY and a MATricks to convert a grid group to a linear group, to be more error proof.
Maybe it can help someone but here an example on how to create the groups for the effect:
