Plan, Front and 3D
Three drawings of the same rig, all live: change a trim in the Positions dialog and every open device redraws. None of them needs a gaming laptop — they're deliberately lightweight so a phone at the dimmer beach and a years-old FOH machine both keep up.
Plan
Top-down, in metres, with the centre line and the downstage edge marked.
- Drag a position to move it — it snaps to 0.25 m and syncs live to everyone.
- Zoom with the −/+ buttons; unit numbers appear once you're in past 120%.
- Click any fixture to select it — the app flips to the Fixtures tab with that unit highlighted.
Front
The audience's view: width across, height up, everything drawn at its position's trim. Upstage positions draw dimmer and slightly smaller so depth stays readable in 2D.
3D
An orbitable view of the rig over a stage deck — drag to orbit, and Reset view brings back the default angle. When the box is receiving live DMX and a fixture's profile provides real pan/tilt ranges, moving heads grow faint beam cones pointing where the desk is pointing them — the live page covers switching that on.
What the drawings need from your data
The drawings are only as good as the plot's numbers:
| You see | Because |
|---|---|
| Fixtures in a neat line | Their position has a length and they're spread along it |
| Sensible heights in Front/3D | Positions have real trim heights |
| Beam cones in 3D | Live levels are on and the fixture has a GDTF profile with pan/tilt ranges |
| A dot at stage centre | The fixture has no position — it's parked in "No position" |
An MVR import fills nearly all of this in one go — positions, real coordinates along the truss, profiles. A CSV import gives you the list but not the geometry; see the import comparison.
