“Re-arrange rack tubes in adjustable racks to avoid collision” question
-
Hello,
When I address my show, I do not see this checkbox option (in pic below, from a training video)? I have the latest “Hobbyist” version of Finale 3D.
Is this selectable addressing function ONLY available for PRO version? Or am I missing something? I have not added nor loaded racks to my show yet, which may be the cause.
Thanks,
-Russ
Hi Russ,
Sorry for the confusion — yes, this feature is only available in Pro.
Below are screenshots comparing the constraints section of the Address Show dialog between Hobbyist (bottom) and Pro (top). the Pro version includes many options to restrict racks to various things, and it also includes the Re-arrange effects in adjustable angle racks to avoid collisions feature. The rack constraints and rearrange feature are made possible by the fact addressing algorithm in Pro loads the racks as it assigns module and pin numbers.
The addressing algorithm in Hobbyist does not load the racks. In Hobbyist, you can calculate rack counts for your show, but you can’t take racks or rack layouts into account when addressing.
