Group Configuration
The group configuration window allows the parameters of children with object groups to be determined.
Creating the Group Layout
By selecting the parent object in the upper window it is possible to define the the origin of control for a group of objects. By subsequently selecting the children within the group it is then possible to position them as desired using either the mouse or by typing offset values within the relevant numerical fields box.
Spread and En-Space Offsets
Spread and En-Space sends can have offsets attributed to them within the group. Entering a numerical value in the relevant field box will activate this offset. Values can be either in the positive or negative.
A groups layout and parameters are stored as an offset. The spaces and backgrounds are provided to allow the user to position objects relative to a real location. This does not define the groups location onstage.
Update from Live
Update from live allows parameters of objects to be taken from their live positions and recorded into the group configuration.
Absolute Positions
The positional information of the group object(s) will be captured and stored in the group config. This can be for an individual child with the group or all children.
Relative to Group - Position Only
The positional information of the groups object(s) will be captured and stored in the group config. This can be for an individual child within the group or all children.
Relative to Group - Spread Only
The spread information of the groups object(s) will be captured and stored in the group config. This can be for an individual child within the group or all children.
Relative to Group - Position & Spread
Both the positional and spread information of the groups object(s) will be captured and stored in the group config. This can be for an individual child within the group or all children.
Centre Group in View
Centre group in view realigns the group of objects to the centre of the currently displayed view.
Reposition Objects & Group
When selected, objects can be repositioned to allow placement within the current view.
Repositioning can be useful for aligning objects with ground plans.
Adjust All Offsets
Allows objects to be relocated around the origin of the group. All objects will expand or contract in linear scaled manner.
Force Offsets Live
Forcing offsets live will send the created group positions to the device(s) and make them live.
