It would be great to have more pyrotechnic effects in Capture that the current flame/water/CO2 can't really replace. Le Maitre are one of the most used suppliers and implementing most of their effects would cover almost all cases, especially as lots of them are similar other than colour, time, and size, so I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to implement them using the existing effects as a sort of base. It would also be nice if we could get some sort of documentation around them for rigging, angl...

Hi Capture Crew! I have a request on the picture rendering topic. So when we store a «camera view» and want to render all the 4-5 camera views. We have to go to each camera view and render it. Would it be possible to make an option to render a whole set of camera views, so that we don’t have to go through all the stored views and render them one by one.

I request the possibility of displaying the Control Panel in wireframe view (perhaps in a custom view) instead of live view. This would make the live view clearer and with a larger visible area on single-screen computers.

I can only speak personally, but I am not familiar with the majority of fixtures and manufacturers in the Library.  Finding the right light therefore can be very time consuming and frustrating. Since all of the information about each individual fixture is already there (can't have a fixture without it), would it not be possible to have a pop-up window or some other way of viewing a fixture's specs without having to select and drop it into the model  Perhaps a right-click or hover over a fixt...

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.
