I would like to view the information of a fixture before inserting it into the project. When accessing Library > Light Fixtures and selecting a fixture, it is necessary to insert it into the project to view its characteristics. I suggest that, when selecting it in the library with Ctrl Enter or a double click, we can view its characteristics without the position, rotation, and other information that only appear when the light fixture is inserted into the project.

Certainly, the mirror function is widely used, but more for duplicating using mirroring than for repositioning in mirroring, which is the current standard. In addition to the current 'Mirror' option, please include a direct 'Mirror and Duplicate' option (with zero in x, y, and z, and duplicate pre-selected as well). Then we could have a popup to simply choose which axis to duplicate on: x, y, or z.

A request I would like to make, as it would certainly help users a lot: currently, the Reflection Plane tool only allows us to adjust width and depth. This greatly limits its usability, because we cannot apply it to surfaces that are not square-shaped, making it difficult to use on circular surfaces. I understand that placing a square plane over a circular surface would work, as long as the plane’s dimensions are larger than the surface. However, this creates a problem when there are two leve...

Taking advantage of the topic from the recent live about location, I would like to request that a location-related field be added to the “Snapper” tool. We use this tool quite often on imported structures or when we want to create a fixation point. Since we already have the option to insert snappers, it would also be important to have the location information.

In theatre, I construct many custom lighting fixtures which (understandably) cannot be added into the Capture Library.  Therefore when creating plots, I mark the appropriate rig location with a Report Item. Within a Report Item, it is possible to enter in a Patch, and Circuit number.  However these are never printed anywhere on the plot - this makes it difficult for Riggers to identify where a specific custom unit should be positioned. It would be hugely beneficial to be able to also load in a...

There are two ways of using some kind of filter in the Report editor - one is based on layer filters set up in the program, and the second is separate Filtering in the directory tree in the Report editor (same as Grouping and Sorting). At this moment, this only hides objects with a zero value of filtering type. It would be great if this could also have a property to set some filter value, like filter only some specified locations or just some types of objects (especially useful when used with Ty...

'Select all fixtures on truss' selects all the fixture on an already selected truss. The shortcut (on max) is ShiftCMDU. Could you please add a shortcut so that at the moment of clicking on the truss or pipe while holding a certain key, the fixtures that are on that pipe or truss get selected right away The best option for me would be an autogroup function (so when truss gets moved, the fixtures are moved as well). The second best option would be this feature I requested above.

Please add the ability to give individual fixtures a colour identification. This would need to allow split colours - for example yellow/green horizontal lines (earth tape) plus an additional colour Earth Red for example. This information would need to be avaliable in reports and optionally plots in an appropriate container.

Hello guys, hope you're all doing well! My name is Vinicius, I'm from Brasil, work at On Lighting Studios and I purchased Capture 2024 some time ago. I’ve been using it mainly to build lighting plots and similar projects. Recently, I started using Blender for 3D animation and realized that I could import these animations into Capture. Now, here’s the scenario I’m facing: I created an animation of a ballerina dancing across the stage, imported it into Capture, and programmed the lights using ...

Plot view I wish I could have the option to view the plot ortografisc type from the left, right, front, back, top, bottom when using Plot View and Plot Edit. The geometry can sometimes be confusing when only one side is visible. Currently, we can only choose the right side in Plot Edit, which may lead to misunderstandings.
