Lights reacting opposite of what I want them to do?

Post by Goochie »

Hi Guys,
Trying to create new progs for 4 x Robe 150xt's

Just come accross prob, whatever I do I cannot get lights to react the same as whats happening In 3D Viewer, the opposite is happening.
If I move lights to left on 3D they go right so on ect, have rotated lights on Veiwer, to no avail, every movement seems to happen 'mirrowed' if ya get my drift.
Again gotta be a simple solution somewhere??????

I believe its possible to mirror the lights in 3d viewer for each fixture.
Something like reverse pan or inverted pan. (or tilt, or both, whatever you need).

Many thanks but have been back to look thru 3D and cant find any thing to help, inverse pan tilt ect, they are on freestyler, but dont fix the problem.
I am pulling my hair out(whats left of it anyway ha ha)
Now beginning to think this is a bug in new version of FS ?? left and right movements are reversed, I think. Pretty sure last time I programmed these Robe's I had old version installed, PC crashed since then so dowmloaded new version.
Have been hours trying to sort this one out......

All, any help greatly appreciated

P.S. anybody got a link to old version??

You looking with your ass or what? :mrgreen:
I looked it up for you, how nice is that?
Start the 3d Easy view program, load (or create) your stage. Go to construction mode.
Select the "fixtures" tab, expand the DJ SCAN 150_XT node (or whatever the name of your fixture group is), now there are 3 checkboxes at the right, Frost, Invert Pan, Invert Tilt. Set invert pan and I guess you're helped.

The forum has: http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforu ... m.php?f=44

But I guess it won't solve that problem.

I remember having the same problem with Robe 150ct movingheads a year ago, maybe the Robe spots in 3d Easy view are created the wrong way?

Hey Guys, thanks for all your help, eventually sussed all that out, many many thanks for all your help.

As previous comment said, the 'Robe 150xt's are the wrong way round on 'Pan' and DID need to 'inverse' pan on 3D viewer.

Once again guys thanks for all your efforts and help.

Goochie.
