Thanks everyone for your replies so far, it's much appreciated! Before we get too off topic, I'm most interested in the calling of the houselights for this type of show rather than a technical discussion about house lighting. I too, have our house lights profiled and like others have said it's...

Good morning all,I just wanted to hear what other are doing regarding house lights for a classical (orchestra) concert.Here's what we've been doing...1. House @ FL for patron load in. 2. House to 50% for pre show announcement. 3. House sits at 25% for classical performance. 4. During...

Thanks bdkdesigns. I agree, most plots I've seen have had it somewhere noted the colors if there is indeed a color change. We have the personnel needed, just wanted to be prepared!

I received a plot from a dance company with C/C listed as a gel color. The units in question are on booms for side light. My guess is that there are color changes in between numbers and that is what that notation is, but just wanted to confirm.

If it was a sub controlling those fixtures, you can hit [Sub] [X <where x is your first Sub number] [Thru] [At] [Home] [Enter] this will put all of your subs to their home position.

Re: CD80 Non-DimI'm not very familiar with Strand gear but as far as I know it is not an SV rack. It looks like the processor has been upgraded at some point, but everything else looks original to the build of the venue ~1988. I attached a photo for reference.

Re: CD80 Non-DimThanks Calc, that clears up what I was seeing in the data sheets.jhochb I know that I can, and have the knowledge, to easily mod the current dimmers. However like you said, I do not want the liability either. I would much rather have the part that was specifically designed...

CD80 Non-DimI am looking for information from anyone who has used or is using a Strand CD80 rack. We have recently received stock of some ETC LED fixtures and I want to purchase a few Non-Dim modules for use with these new fixtures. I am much more familiar with ETC gear, and want to make sure...

Interesting that this thread has opened up here. I just left working for Sight & Sound after over 5 years and most recently as one of their Associate Lighting Designers. The team of people who work on the productions are amazing people who do awesome work. The lighting rigs typically consist of...

I'm reaching out to folks here to see if anyone knows of a manufacturer of water resistant conventional lighting fixtures. I've seen a bunch of architectural fixtures that are in the 50-60 watt range using an MR16, but we are looking for something with a bit more punch than that. The fixtures...

I love the quality that Clay Paky has with their fixtures. I cannot speak to the 800 QWO, but our Clay Paky profiles, spots, and washes are awesome. It looks like the 800 QWO has an animation disc which is certainly nice to have to make water effects. I found Clay Paky's gobo morphing to be...

I was in the same situation as you are. I bought a student license of VectorWorks while I was in college, and it was enough to get my ideas on paper and off to an ME to start to hang a rig. However, when it came to trying to pre-viz anything in VW, it was certainly a pain. We have several...

Have you tried using {Make Absolute} to get the desired results? From your first post I'm not sure I fully understand what you're looking to achieve, but that command will take a unit that is in a Preset and give it manual data breaking the connection to the Preset.

We do the same here as well, although I wish WYG would update their data mode to be more functional and user friendly. John has done a great job with LW5. :grin: The ability to open mutiple LW files at once and the file/worknotes exchange alone was worth the update for us.

I miss having the RELEASE button on the EOS/Obsession... [SNEAK] > [ENTER] or [AT] > [ENTER] just doesn't do it for me.
