Sounds like a plan! In addition to your show file, be sure to also send me photos of each kind of rack you use in real life.

When I try to import the skp file into Finale3D, the software crash out, and I have tried serve times and still cannot import The model below the link https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/90847779-55b0-4179-97c3-f1dbbe6fd593/stage-2

Thanks Drew, I haven't started scripting my 2025 shows yet. I do have the Pro version, so I will send you the file when I am ready to create the racks. I recall that every year, when I have the software add racks, it leaves several shells not assigned, and yet plenty of mortars are available. That, or it will only assign to shells to a 12 mortar rack and add 2 or 3 1-3 mortar racks for the remaining shells.

Looking at doing a hart shape using single shots, anyone got any tips or tricks for doing this?

Hi Grothus,   I'm really sorry you're having trouble launching Finale 3D, I'm here to help.   Here are some questions to help us troubleshoot the issue:   1) When was the last time you were successfully able to run Finale 3D? 2) The last time you were able to run Finale 3D, do you know what version (approximately) was installed? 3) When you tried installing previous versions of Finale 3D, how far back did you go? 4) This may seem too simple, but could it be that the login dialog is behind the main window or on another screen? 5) Are you on a desktop or laptop computer? 6) How many screens do you have connected to your computer? 7) Do you have any antivirus, anti-malware, or other security software installed on your computer?

Hi everyone !   I'm Gaétan and i'm a professionnal Pyrotechnician in France.  

Hi Drew and the community,   I'm having a problem with Final3D. I can't launch the software anymore. When I try to launch the program, the "(one minute, please)" page opens without the option to log in and the software doesn't respond. I have already restarted my computer, updated the system, updated the graphics card, tested the different versions of final3D available and even completely reset my computer but nothing changes.. Has anyone had the same problem and might have a solution? I thank you in advance for any solution you may be able to provide me. All the best !

Is there a way to import a flower king catalog? Can’t seem to find one on the site

Same TC start at 17:30:00:00

SMPTE timecode, got it!   Next question: Will the start time of the timecode be the same for all four shows or will it be different for each show. For example, will all four shows start at timecode value 00:00:00:00 or will the first show start at 00:00:00:00 and the second show start at a different timecode value, like 01:00:00:00, etc.?
