How to Move Fixtures in the 3D Room in the 3D Visualizer in Disco
The 3D Visualizer is meant to give the user a general idea of what the room and lighting may look like. It is not meant to replace high end visualizers. The initial setup of the fixture positions can easily be accomplished using the fixture layout window. This window gives us the top view of the room and the location of each fixture from the top of the room.
These values are transferred to the 3d Visualizer to make the set up quicker. The 3d Visualizer can be opened by pressing the eye icon on the top toolbar. For the visualizer to operate properly the computer you are using must have a video card with OpenGL capabilities, otherwise the program may not function properly when trying to use the visualizer.
To edit the positions of the lights in a room, we must activate the edit menu by clicking the Edit Fixtures and Object Positions Option.
From the Drop down select the fixture to move. The use the XYZ positions up down buttons to change the fixture positions. The fixtures can also be moved by clicking on them and using a combination of shift, control and right and left click options on the mouse.
Rendering options menu will change different options of the way the visualzer operates.
