Layers
Read more details about Layers in the
.
The left side of the main window is a list of Layers. Any fixture added to the show needs to be put in a layer.
You can decide how you want to organize the layers. All fixtures can be put in the same layer or organized in
multiple layers - by fixture type or location. It is completely up to you. But you need at least one layer.
When you have a layer then select it by tapping it. Then you can see all the list of fixtures in the layer on the right
side of the menu. At the bottom there is a lot of buttons. We are going to use some of them. Please notice that the
text on them changes depending on what side was tapped last - the layer list or the fixture list. The function is the
same it is just a matter of affecting layers or fixtures.
Create a Layer to put fixtures in it
You can add a layer by tapping in the layer part of the screen. You could tap where it says "New".
Then tap where it says
Add Layer
. Now opens the Enter Name pop-up where you can give the new layer a name.
Type a name and finish by pressing Please (Enter).
When you create an empty layer, then the console will help you to the next logical step - to add fixtures in the layer.
So the next thing you are presented with is the Fixture Wizard.
Adding fixtures to an existing layer
If you already have layers, then you can add new fixtures in them. Select the layer on the left side and then tap
somewhere in the fixture list (the right side).
Now you can tap the button that says
Add Fixtures
. If the menu is on screen 1 then you can also press the
X1
key.
This opens the Fixture Wizard.

When you add a fixture to your layers you are guided by the Fixture Wizard.
If you are not already presented with the wizard then you can get to it by tapping on the layer, tap new in the fixture
list and then tap the
Add Fixture
button.
The wizard could look like this:
