 This tutorial does not show you how to create the fixture for use in 3D Magic Easy View, to do that you need to run the ScanLibrary program, it is not the same as Fixture Creator but the same method would need to be performed as shown for the Fixture Creator. In the future I will create a tutorial(s) for the ScanLibrary program as well.

 Name, as we are going to create a few differing versions of this fixture we need to ensure that they are unique and meaningful.\\
 For the fixture we are creating now I think we can call it Mega Bar LED 3ch so enter that in the Fixture name input field.\\
-Click into the Fixt. picture input field and a list of pictures will appear on the right hand side scroll down and click on mega-bar-led_small.gif in that list and it will appear to the right of the Manufacturer and the Fixture name, also the Fixt. picture field will be filled in with the name.

 I am also going to put something in the comment field.\\
 See the next image to see this part completed.\\

 That is it, the 7 channel fixture all completed. You can exit from the Fixture Creator and start FreeStyler and patch your new fixture.

 I will add to this tutorial at a later date to add the 6 channel mode fixture.
+For the 11 channel fixture you could create 3 seperate RGB fixtures and name them with "left", "centre" and "right" in the name and then using a picture program cut out the left, centre and right parts of the fixture and then use them in fixture creator as needed.
 I hope it has given an insight into how to create multi element RGB fixtures and how to patch them for use in FreeStyler.
