Sorry for posting in multiple forums...but I think I've managed to figure out the first part of what I want to do.
I found a fixture someone created on here for the Varytec Gigabar which in 26ch mode is almost identical to the colorrail (I've attached that one for reference)
Using that as a basis I created my fixture, but have not yet added the macros.
Based on the manual for the colorrail (also attached) Is everything set up correctly so far? I actually don't have my lights yet to test it on, I just ordered them yesterday so I can't test them out till next week.
My question now shifts to the macros. It seems the only way I can do this to have full control is make 10 different color macros (including off) for each section...totalling 80 macros plus 4 more for strobe
So my main question is can you layer macros. When I'm programming...let's say I want segment 1 to be blue, and then segment 6 to be red, that would require me selecting 2 different macros for the same step in a sequence. Will this work?

This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

Re: Chauvet Colorrail
yes i made the Varytec gigabar 
look at : http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... re_formula
Example5
CH2=CH1
Action: This assigns the value in Channel 1 to the fixture's Channel 2. (Programming syntax reads from right to left.)
and you can use the Chauvet 4play as a Example..
