Hi Dirk Enders - PyroOffice, single-row slice cakes can go in the 'F' (Front) positions per the table in Show Site Layout. You may also be able to put them on the CK (Cake) positions, I'll defer to Tim Jameson for confirmation. He may want to limit slices to the Fronts, I'm not 100% sure.   Hi Sean, you don't need to worry about assigning addresses, this will be done later if your show ends up in the top 3! There are no firing system or cue count limitations.

DrewFinale   Once all the choreography of the show is complete. Do we also need to cater for the addressing of the show or will that be catered for later on ?    

From 4" to 12" shells. And yes, it is a quarter peony.

Dirk Enders - PyroOffice  I am guessing cake slices should go in the cake section labelled CK-1 to CK-7 given that they are inherently as their name sake suggests, cakes.   Cheers !

Tim Jameson ,   just to be sure - the cake slices should be placed on the front positions , or ?     Dirk

Is that supposed to be that way or is it a multi color peony chain? And second part to that is on the custom 3″ Finale chain – packed 6/10, it is simulating as single colors in a row. so red, blue, green, purple, etc. Is there a way to “reverse” the order on the chain? so it doesn’t create that same color across 5 pos firing at the same time.   Are there 4″ finale multicolor chains? I don’t see any in the catalog.   Thanks for your work on this.   Hello, the 3" "Custom Color Peony Chains" are actually salute chains.  We had to label them this way to get them exported from China last year.  The simulation is correct for them.   As for the 3" Assorted Color Finale Chains, the simulation represents the colors in the chain, but given the way China manufactures these chains, they are actually randomized.  Therefore, in a "real world" scenario, you would not have all the same colors firing across all positions simultaneously as they will vary in order from chain to chain.  Please do not reverse the chains or break them apart as it may mess up our part numbers and actual counts when we go to prepare the displays for setup.  Our judging panel will be familiar enough with our products to know these chains are not going to fire the same exact order throughout and judge accordingly.   Thank you for your interest in the competition.   Edit:  I'm sorry seems I missed the part about 4" multicolor chains, no there are not any 4" color finale chains in the catalog.

Building a huge number of groups is not an always an option because it takes space and you have to search.

(see example)     To see the effect and adjust the timing i have to change to front view again. This is repeating all the time. I know that i can use the positions window to select effects, but i like to be sure and see the layout. So my idea is to make a seperate screen with the position layout (same as design view from top but without effects) where you can select the positions. The result should look like that     What do you think – will this be useful for you, too ? Leave a like if you think so Dirk   I like this idea. Partially since I have suggested it myself before. I would also like that window to include pos groups. I always select positions from top view. Half of my clicks must be changing between top and front view. Another solution to the same problem, that I think I prefer is a shortcut for selecting part of the selection you just do. (Making up some possible shortcuts that might conflict with current shortcuts but to make the suggestion less abstract) e.g ctrl+number in your example. You select all CK positions. push ctrl 2 and it selects all odf pos. Again, all even. ctrl 3 every third. Etc etc In combination with: if you press tab you scroll through the selection, shift tab scroll back. ctrl tab selects center position, again the 2 pos next to it (moving outwards).
