Computers are very good at counting, Capture is still a bit shy to admit it can.  Could we add some counting magic to Capture - How many fixtures in a selection - How many objects in a selection - How many objects in a group - How many dmx addresses in a selection - How many objects on a layer - How much weight in a selection  This is all usefull information to make available at a glance. Maybe in a statusbar, maybe in selected items, maybe in a new to be created inf...

To whom it may concern: I noticed that when importing an MVR my unit number is mapped, but my 'position' is not mapped. In the United States lighting field, particularly in theater, we use the 'position' to mean the 'location' of the fixture. So the first electric (a batten on stage) would have a unique unit number per position, but not per plot. The 'uniqueness' depends on the combination of the two fields. That's about as close to a UUID as possible in the workflow for most of our theaters....

Hello, Can we please have more custom colors for layers, especially for large projects. 12 is not enought. Thank you

Hello,  Can we have the ability to choose the categorie of a object/truss/fixture ofr reports in a project. Just for example, Smoke machine like MDG Atme or others, are reported on 'Fixture' Categories tab, but for me it's more 'visible' and understandable to put on 'Other' categories. Same thing for Flams Blazers by Magic FX etc.... Thank you to consider.

Being able to add top hats/concentrics etc. to movers would be very useful, even if only plot and paperwork rather than vis although ideally both.

hello capture  since the rigging calculation will be realesed with capture 2026 as i saw in ise2026 i would suggest to add a tab in objects under rigging equipement and add chain hoists ,o ring ,steel wire ,beam clamp,shakles and im sure there is many things to be also with report item so we can get it in the equipement report it will be very usefull for us and very light to the model since they are not very heavy objects  thanks in advance

In other design software, there is the ability to focus fixtures while working in wireframe view. This feature provides extremely valuable information for technicians, particularly when the designer is not on site. Displaying focus points and cuts in a 2D view is a highly effective and practical tool. Thank you in advance !!!

It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to include accessories, such as barndoors, in the fixture legend.

Hi! I would love to see realistic zoom animations on moving spot/wash fixtures. Right now, if you go from 0 to 100 zoom it instantly snaps. However this is not what a fixture in real life does, as the lens inside needs to physycally move. No more forgetting to add preset/mib/delay cues.   As of zoom speed/curve, I would even be happy if every fixture in the library got the same exact zoom behaviour but also have the option to correct this in the corrections menu. Thanks!

Hello! Please allow the Reflection Plane to take on shapes other than the current retangle, either by using a polygon or by assuming the shape of the object we want to reflect onto. Cheers, Oz
