Hi   Thanks for the reply.   Yes it has a Google maps ground image and also a modle of a building.  Both were added a couple of years ago, so yes in a different version.   Thanks Richard

Hi Pyro_1640000, welcome to the Finale 3D forum and thanks for posting!   Here are a couple questions to help us troubleshoot:   1) Does your show include a Google Map ground image? 2) Was the image added in an older version of Finale 3D?

Hi ulf werner,   I’ll try that tomorrow. thanks for your answer.

Hi I’m having an issue using the Rack Window. It’s running so slowly it’s unsuable.  Everything else is running perfectly. I’m going to install an older version, as I’ve not had a problem previously, to get it to work. Is this a common problem that will be fixed or is there a problem at my end?

Rack Cluster Size Wish to have the feature to set the maximum rack cluster size for a rack. During the racking process it should autmatically break the cluster in by the maximum size and build the blocks that way.   In further thinking it would then great to have racking blueprint where we are able to define rules for the way finale3d arranges the racks. Maybe with assign this rackling blueprint to positions individually.  

1. Just select all events with ctrl+A 2. Then shift+q -> Enter the offset -> The time should be the first event time with a minus before. For example: -5m0s 3. Go to Song Window and set a crop start to the time of your first event to the showfile of your show music.   There you are   KR

hi,   Is there an option to export the script from the first effect without all the time before this first shot? I work with a musical sheet and my first effect start for exemple 5 scd after the intro. I want to push the fire button manualy and it’ll be better if the first effect can be synchronised with that , so i’ll not push it 5 scd before the cue. can we do this directly with finale or i need to do it with autoshow from explo? txs for your help.    

Hi Pyro_123390000, welcome to the forum! How did you determine that the problem is a conflict between Windows 11, Finale, and Google Maps? Did you find a solution?   With the help of NEC, I found that the problem is a set of bad position coordinates saved in the per_user_settings.txt file. Here are the steps to fix the issue:   1) Launch Finale 3D and login 2) Go to File > Admin > Open backup files directory 3) Completely close Finale 3D 4) In the backup files directory, open the per_user_settings.txt file 5) Press Ctrl+F and search for Google to locate the window placement for the Google Maps dialog     6) Change the position coordinates for the Google Maps dialog to [0 0]     7) Save and close the per_user_settings.txt file 8) Launch Finale 3D and try adding a Google Map again

Hey KrisPbrown, try Blue Peony w/Blue Tail or Red Peony w/Red Tail or White Peony w/Silver Tail. If that doesn’t give you the desired result, let me know.   We’re 100% with you, a glossary of VDL terms is long overdue. We have one in the works, the only hold-up is a large effect improvement project that we’re trying to wrap up.   I can’t find the broken link you mentioned, can you point me to it or reply with a screenshot so I can get that fixed up right away?

I have exactly the same problem, I managed to find that it is a conflict between windows 11, Finale and Google Maps.
