hi,
you need to create a group with the fixtures that you want to blackout. Than set a button in the keyboard shortcuts, "Blackout Group *". * is the number of the group you create, so in the list is ascending 1 to ...

When you use the defined button than only blacks the fixtures you select.

if you like, maybe you can fix it by changing the fixture in scanlibrary for magic 3d.

you can as already said us the blackout group. you can also go to "setup --> add/remove fixtures" and configure which light not to respond to the black out button by setting a check mark at "Ignore Blackout" for each fixture
