The clean start shortcut you are referring to, is available on Windows. It is located in the start menu within the MA Lighting entry.
If you use macOS, press and hold Option and then execute the grandMA3 onPC app. It will ask you then, if you want to do a clean start.
What does the system monitor outputs, when you connect/power the fader wing?
Any chance that you try v1.7, which was released today?
Which version of MAC OSC do you use?
Without a version number and only knowing Mac OSX, I would say: Update your operating system, as grandMA3 onPC is specified for macOS 10.13 or higher.
It was Mac OSX only until 10.7.
Also, which version of grandMA3 onPC do you use?
That's a good summary, Ryan Kanarek!
The grandMA2 3D manual describes the needed steps:
Import 3D Model to MA3D - MA 3D - Help pages of MA Lighting International GmbH
Can you please provide more information like the fixture type and the used mode?
Also attaching the fixture type file could help to identify the issue.
Maybe you renamed the GrandMaster?
You can check this in the assign menu of any executor. It should be named as shown in the image below.
Import it into the show file and export it from there again.
unfortunately Lightpower is the local distributor of MA AND Martin in Germany. But Martin wont bring GDTF Files for older fixtures like quantum spot and aura XB.......
Martin stated in a GDTF Webinar, that they will bring GDTF files for all new fixtures and that they will work backwards, too:
Yes, this happens because grandMA3 has not yet the "Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI" option like the grandMA2 has.
The link does not work anymore. Could you point me to the right direction?
Here is the new link:
RE: Fixture Builder Tutorials
Just replace ma-dot2 by malighting inside the URL. The forum moved from ma-dot2.com to malighting.com a while ago.
When you face a crash, please get in contact with the TechSupport or your local dealer.
Please provide a description of the crash and the show file to them. Then the developers can try to reproduce the crash and try to fix it.
At the moment not directly. As a workaround for now you could import it into grandMA2 and from there convert the grandMA2 show file to be a grandMA3 show file.
I think I ran now also into the same crash when I tried it.
When dherderich mentioned ReloadPlugin I thought he meant something like ReloadPlugin 1, without looking at any documentation that seemed sensible.
Sorry for the typo.
While I'm writing a plugin I normally have a macro right beside it that reloads the plugin after I have made a code change and saved
Something like:Import Plugin 1 "level1.xml"
Once you press that macro you can call your macro again and see the changes.
You can do this even faster. Just execute the ReloadPlugin command. When the external lua file has changed, the new content will automatically imported to the plugin in the pool.
Do you have RDM devices connected that will be displayed within the RDM Devices windows? If yes, which type of device, and which setting do you change?
At moment there is no permanently selected filter, like Select Filter x was doing in grandMA2.
Selecting a filter in grandMA3 applies the filter at moment to the command filter/At filter (however you want to call it). The command filter is always reset to filter 1 after store/update, etc.
The current behavior can be compared with grandMA2 where you had filter 1 permanently selected and then called a different filter for the next operation as command filter.
The command filter in grandMA3 knows only which attributes are active/not active.
I agree that the current behavior is not the best, and hopefully gets improved in the future. I only wanted to explain how it works at moment.
Set CueFade x Cue "OffCue" will do the job for the selected sequence.
Set CueFade x Sequence y Cue "OffCue" will do the job for sequence y.
