show duration was set at 2 minutes, I dont know how that happened  

Cant move the play head past 2 minutes when there are cues past 2 minutes?

Racks dimensions don't match the real world right now and a slice rack is probably the worst offender. The good news is that we've begun laying the groundwork to draw all racks with accurate dimensions. In the latest beta release, we've added a new "Physical Specifications" column. The column doesn't work just yet, but once we get it hooked up, you'll be able to specify the real-world dimensions for racks, and other items.     On the subject of dimensions being off, is there an option to have all user setting default to imperial instead of metric? I’m the stereotypical American that can’t handle the metric system   I understand where you're coming from on feet versus meters. There is a user setting to change the position rulers from meters to feet, but there's no setting to change everything to imperial. In a variety of places, like creating an effect or arranging firing positions, you can use feet by entering a value with 'ft' at the end, but in other places meters are the only option. If you're stuck entering meters somewhere, just ask Google to convert.     Also, is there a way to print the GPS coordinates of positions to aid in site layout setup? The only thing I have found is the white grid diagram. I was hoping to have a way to print the google maps background with my positions and coordinates of each position. I’m doing some angled shots and would like to have the effects line up as close as possible to the simulation.   The GPS coordinates aren't currently being tracked, so at the moment there's no way to get them on a report or layout diagram. However, the latest beta release of Finale 3D does add basic drawing tools for site maps including rulers. The rules don't snap to positions or safety circles yet, but they can still be useful. On a very large shoot site, I can see how GPS coordinates would be very useful. On a smaller shoot site, I would think measuring from position to position would be more accurate because of the tolerance in GPS.     Thanks for your help!       P.S. Head over to your Profile and customize your Profile Picture and Display Name!      

Hi Pyro_Gweedo, let me know if the video is helpful and if you need anything else.

Thanks Drew!   The rack was basically a super long line (dimensions were way off). It's not a big deal for me, I just thought maybe someone else had success creating a slice rack since Craig Co has their other products in the catalog.   On the subject of dimensions being off, is there an option to have all user setting default to imperial instead of metric?

Thanks for the video and the answers Drew! My issue was I was looking for the word soft breaks in the item descriptions.    

Hi Engineer Cat, welcome to the Finale 3D forum and welcome to PyroJam! Here's a video to answer your questions:   https://www.loom.com/share/dc8a9fc02a954ab8b2e212c629969aca  

Here's a video that demonstrates how to create a 24 shot fanned mortar rack, create a shell for the rack, chain-fuse shells together, and load shells and chains into the rack.   https://www.loom.com/share/e7f618e8e5b64ff9af4e51d38802a5fc

Thanks for the opportunity to use Finale 3D to enter the PyroJam contest. It's a bit of a learning curve but figuring things out hour by hour.   I'm not finding the "Soft Breaking" items in the PyroJam inventory list. I think I know which ones are considered "soft breaking" but I don't want to set angles wrong and be disqualified because of that. Any help locating those would be great.   I know the rules state you can use any music you want, but is there a possibility of getting disqualified because the rights to particular songs cant be obtained?   Thanks for the help.
