Hello! Some option changes only happen after a software restart. Perhaps, in addition to the warning, could you add another option RESTART NOW Cheers, Oz

Report Items Various requests: 1. The symbol shouldn't have an automatically scalable size; instead, it would have to be treated like other objects in the library, keeping its size and distances fixed. 2. The Unit should appear in plot mode. 3. Redistribution of the order of report items as follows: patch - circuit - rating - weight and then the multiplier. 4. The multiplier should automatically correct the rating and weight. Thanks in advance!

An essential part of designing and building a show file is the dynamic knowledge and construction of the lighting over time, but there seems to be a reluctance within Capture to provide even simple the tools for this. When I’m designing I don’t care what console the show will eventually be run on; I have little to no control over it anyway, and as the designer I’m not going to be programming or operating it. Especially what I don’t need or want is a complicated full on computer based v...

Hi, lately I've been creating some plots and I started to take versioning of my reports, plots and project files more serious. I was wondering if its is possible for exports project files to create new files with automatic created names and maybe folder structure based on variables, asked support and they suggested me to make a post here. What I am trying to achieve (on windows): Project files: {RootDir}\project\{year}_{month}_{project}_{version}.c2p Plots: {RootDir}\export\{yea...

Hi, I've recently been finding myself having to integrate custom LED systems into lighting designs. I not only use Capture for previz, but also heavily lean on it for plots and reports, including power calculations. For custom LED systems with LED drivers, I usually use the 'Omnidirectional Bulb' fixture (with custom symbols) to add these into plots and make sure they show up on reports correctly. One downside, which has been confirmed to my by customer support over e-mail, is that the omnidi...

Hello, do you think it's possible to add the weight of the cabling to a truss Or at least integrate a percentage of the total load corresponding to the weight of the cabling on the truss into the load calculation  The goal is to be as precise as possible when calculating loads. Thanks

When I watched your recent Capture 2026 Webcast, I noticed that there should be one thing added to the layer groups functionality. It would be great if you could select a whole layer group in Filters to include or leave out a whole Layer group at once. The same could be useful for changing color is the Layers view for the whole group at once. Also evrything in this menu should work for layer groups:

Rendering a movie snapshot can take hours, leaving Capture unusable until that job has completed.  I did talk about this back in 2016, but two possible solutions could be.... 1.  Adobe After Effects can render to a JPEG sequence across multiple machines on the same network.  This would require a small Capture plugin to place each node and some form of management app to handle the management of which node gets each frame.   2. Like Vectorworks, a cloud rendering service that allo...

Hello, It would be a great addition if, when adding a report to your plot, the list automatically flows into a second or third column when there are too many lines. This could happen when the frame is widened, allowing the report list to continue across multiple columns. Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe it would greatly improve readability and make more efficient use of available space. Kind regards, Stan Claassen

I would like to make a suggestion that I believe is very important: the creation of an option to lock the project information. This feature would help protect essential data, preventing other people from modifying important settings or using projects developed by third parties without authorization. In addition to preserving the integrity of the project, this functionality would also help ensure recognition and protection of the intellectual work of the person who developed the file. ...
