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.

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...

It would be useful to add a 'Select all objects with this texture' hotkey and a 'Go to settings for the selected texture' hotkey. Currently, the path to select all objects with a single texture is too long: Select object - Selected item - Scroll down - Double-click on the material - Edit - Right-click on the material - Select Using Object Adding the ability to create a hotkey for this action would greatly speed up painting all models at the initial rendering stage. And the second hotkey ...

When importing an MVR made in capture to GrandMA3, I end up with a lot of 'Grouping' objects which usually contain nothing, but sometimes contain fixtures depending on whether I have grouped them in Capture. Typically, I will make an 'LX Only' MVR file which ignores all the geometry and gives me just the fixtures so I can keep the showfile lightweight. It would be great to have a couple of checkboxes in the MVR output dialogue such as 'Fixtures only' and 'Ignore grouping' to speed up t...

Hi Again! So another useful feature would be to have be able to save userprofiles. For example; I always export , top view, side view, perspective view and front view of my stage. And inside I have a couple of different settings like 'Curren Day' information etc. Would be a timesaver and a to be able to load a preset for differens documents, and maby save favorite fixtures etc. And now to the Extended document part... So right now I have to export my plots to .PDF one by one.... An...

Hi! Thanks for the stream today Capture Team. One of my request got answered, But I want to give a bit more information about what I'am missing. I would like to link a group of fixtures to the position of an object (for example a truss), and then the fixtures will use the objects fysical value as it's origio. When dealing with trusses that are in an odd position, for example diagonal, I have to either start positon the fixtures on the truss in center, or just flex with it manually. Wh...

Can we get an entry for 'Production Manager' in the Project > Properties window

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.
