I am wondering if there a way to snap the show design to the template as a way to catch any inadvertent position or pan angle change?   Great question. The sort, search and filter functionality in the Script window is the best way to audit your show.   Adding filters By default, there are only two filters in the script window, “Size” and “Position”. To add more filters, click the blue gear then go to ‘Add or remove filter’. An example of an incredibly useful filter for checking a PyroJam show is “Subtype”. This is because Subtype is used define which effects go in each row of positions. When you filter your script, the events on the timeline and the simulations in the Design window are also filtered. Looking at a show filtered to a specific set of positions, or sizes, or subtypes makes it much easier to find a mistake versus trying to look at everything at once.   Adding columns A significant number of columns that are available in the Script window are hidden by default. For any number of reasons, you may find it useful to unhide columns. To unhide columns, click the blue gear and then go to ‘Hide or unhide column’. One reason you may want to unhide a given column is to sort your script by the data in that column. For example, if you want to sort your script by “Subtype”, unhide the Subtype column then click on the Subtype column header to sort the script. You can even do a multi-column sort. For example, suppose you wanted to sort your script by Position then Subtype. To do this, just click on the Position column header, then hold Shift on your keyboard and click on the Subtype column header.   Highlighting Another useful trick is to select items in the Script window to see their trajectories in the Design window. Combined with the filter functionality, this makes it very easy to identify items being fired from the wrong positions. For example, suppose you used the Subtype filter in the Script window to filter to all kinds of shells. Next, if you press Ctrl+A to select all and then look at the Design window, you will see the trajectory for every shell highlighted in white. If all the trajectories originate from a shell position, then you’re all set. But if you see the trajectory dots for a shell coming from position that’s not meant for shells, then you know you have something to fix.

Hi Engineer Cat, thanks for the heads up. We just fixed the 35mm Dominator meteor comets. Select ‘Sync with network’ from the blue drop-down list in the Effects window or go to ‘File > Sync with network’ to download the latest version of the catalog. If you already have these items in your show, you can refresh the show (after syncing) by going to ‘Effects > Update per-show effects’.

Got a question about the following items.   Part Number PFX35CM-P and PFX35CM-O are not simulating the correct height as opposed to Part Numbers PFX35CM-B and PFX35CM-G.

Hi Marius Colita, that’s right, “letter shooting” or “matrix letters” (as it is called in Finale 3D) is NOT permitted in this year’s PyroJam competition.

Thanks I also took them one by one but I thought I “skipped” because I didn’t find them.. Manual format is not possible because you have to “support” And as I said above, you still need an inclination towards the public

Hi Marius Colita, sorry, I don’t think the PyroJam catalog has any number or letter pattern shells.

yes, exactly!
