Awesome !   Thanks !

In the real world, the crew would simply place the cake on the ground in the opposite orientation. In Finale 3D, you can accomplish this by selecting the cake in your show, then going to 'Script > Angles > Rotate cakes 180 degrees'.  

Hi Drew,   Regarding Matt Loreto's question about cakes and your answer, is it possible to reverse the firing direction of a Cake-Slice, so for example instead of firing left to right, it would become right to left ?   Thanks !

Awesome I will watch that now! Thank you for the speedy response!  

Matt Loreto wrote: By chance are we allowed to angle cakes, straight cakes and/or strip cakes? Or does that fall under “No modifications rule?”   Hi Matt, there are no angle restrictions for cakes. In other words, YES, you can angle cakes. A modification (that is not permitted) would be breaking a cake apart in some way so that the timing or firing pattern is altered. If you decide to angle fan cakes or single-row slice (i.e., strip) cakes, be sure to check out the video on mastering angles here: https://finale3d.com/video/mastering-angles-pan-tilt-spin

By chance are we allowed to angle cakes, straight cakes and/or strip cakes? Or does that fall under "No modifications rule?"

I was trying to find a way to search for this topic, but unable to find how to search...   Is there a report (or a way to build a custom report) that tells you how many of each angle is needed at each station excluding the size of each angle needed?

Hey all, my name is Henrik, im 30years from germany and have my stage pyrotechnican License. i used Finale 3d for the first time, so i only worked with fwsim before, both have their pro and contras. So im happy for it tot can test Finale 3D for the Pyrojam Competition.

We estimate that the fix will require a multi-week development initiative and there are numerous requests competing for top spots in the development schedule. We haven't made this a top priority yet primarily because there is a easy/reliable workaround.

Thank you DrewFinale,  I am surprised that the latest version hasn't addressed this by now.
