Thanks Drew! Will try it today.

Great question, thanks for posting! We haven’t created documentation or a video tutorial just yet because the final phase of the site plan feature set (logos, rules, drawing tools) is still in development. Meanwhile, here are some tips to get you started.   – Make sure you’re running Finale 3D Pro. – Make sure you’re running the latest BETA release. – To see the Google Map or safety circles in the Racks window, adjust settings in ‘Racks (menu) > Rack window settings’ or click ‘Settings’ in the upper left corner while viewing ‘All Positions’ in the Racks window. – To edit a site plan PDF template, go to the blue gear in the Racks window, then ‘Create or edit diagram template’. – To customize your effect safety circles, enter safety distances for your effects in the ‘Safety Distance Meters’ column in the Effects window. – To see position safety distance circles, enter safety distances for each position in ‘Position Properties’ or in the ‘Safety Distance Meters’ column in the Positions window.   Let us know how it goes!

Struggling to figure out how to create a Site Layout that has the Google image instead of the white grid.  Also can’t quite figure out how to make two different safety radii to display.  Is there any documentation for this new feature yet?  

Thanks DrewFinale

I got the simulation for DP23E128 fixed up in the Dominator catalog. Go ahead and give it another try.           @ Pyro_2060000

Welcome to the Finale 3D community! You’re probably not doing anything wrong, mostly likely there’s an issue with the simulation for that item. Each supplier maintains their own catalog; I’ll coordinate with Ed from Dominator and get the sim for this item fixed up ASAP.

Start off – I’m completely new to Final 3d and am in demo to see if this software will work for me but when i added DP23E128 50S VERTICAL RED STROBE WILLOW cake in it only show one shot and not all of the cake firing! What am i missing here lol ?

Hey Bruce A, no problem! Go to ‘Create or edit diagram template’ from the blue gear in the Racks window to change the center point for your site layout.    

I have a question/comments about the Site Layout diagram printout.   If I set the Origin to the primary spectator viewing point, this allows me to set the position distances and orientations relative to the spectators. However, when printing the site layout, the resultant report centers the diagram on this origin. This is not ideal as there is then a significant part of the report that is irrelevant to the positions or the diagrams–essentially, the area behind the spectators. It would be helpful to be able to adjust the origin’s placement on the report.

Effects won’t snap to key frames, but they will snap to Empty Cues. Add an empty cue by going to ‘Script > Insert empty cue’ or tapping the ‘i’ key on your keyboard.     Also, when I use the “set time” function … it seems to set the effect time. Is there any way to set the event time instead?   Not at the moment. But I like the idea of adding an option to the ‘Set Time’ dialog to allow you set time based on the Event Time instead of the Effect Time. I’ll add this to the feature request list.     Thanks!
