Is there a way to increase the font size in the rack Layout Diagram?  Specifically for the rail numbers, I find them almost impossible to read when printed and I’ve resorted to printing then manually writing the rail number on the diagrams.  I’m probably just missing something obvious…

I must then sync to network as well. That way the new effect is saved to my effects, correct.   Thank you.

Hey PyroBunny,   Thanks for the information on this and especially for including such a detailed report with screenshots.   We’ve reproduced the problem on our end and can confirm that it’s not caused by any error on your part. The behavior you described does indeed produce the unexpected result and we’ll be looking for an opportunity to fix this in a future update.   The good news is that this is only a visual discrepancy with the timeline indicator and doesn’t actually affect your sims or script, so hopefully it’s not too annoying for now.

Hi PyroBunny, thanks for the post. I updated PFX7FR-RBG-H the Dominator catalog. The entire catalog is in queue for an overhaul, but I went ahead fixed up the simulation for this slice cake since you singled it out. The next time ‘sync with network’ you will see the new simulation in the catalog.   I used this video as a reference because it’s watermarked with the official Dominator (Dun Pai) logo:  

  The finale3d dominator library version doesn’t look anything like the actual product.   This does:   38mm 60.0m 0.20 PFT 70 Shot Fan (a) Red Comet + (b) Blue Comet + (c) Green Comet Slice, 10 Rows, Rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (0.0/ccaaabb/0.0)   7 tubes, 10 stars per tube.

I’m having a problem where i’m trying to combine multiple slices in the editor.   VDL: 30mm 31.0m 0.20 PFT 13 Shot Fan 90 Degrees Brocade Comet + Red Mine To White Strobing Willow Shell (1 Row)   Individually, the duration shows in the timeline. When I “combine as group”, only the PFT is shown, the rest of the duration disappears from the timeline.   Before combine:     After combine:

  1″ 60 Shot (a) 1.4 LFT Tourbillions Comet To Salute Z Shape Cake, 8 Rows, Rows 1,2,3,4,5 (0.5/aaaaaa/2.0), Row 6 (2.0/aaaaaaaaaa/0.2), Row 7 (2.0/aaaaaaaaaa/0.2), Row 8 (2.0/aaaaaaaaaa/0.2)

Tip: You can login without entering your password by checking ‘Login offline’. This will also skip syncing with the network. If you need to sync after logging in offline, you can still do from the Effects window drop-down list or File > Sync with network. it’s been 2 years, are there any plans to implement this?

How to do the delayed small blue multi salute effect with Pyroland’s Forged (PYL1812) ?     Is it possible with simple VDL?   My go at it: 1″ 30 Shot Cake (a) Very Thin Gold Mine w/ 0.8 LFT Very Dense Strobing Gold Brocade + (b) 0.8 LFT Gold Willow w/ Small Blue Salute 6 Rows, Row 1 (1.0/aaaaa/3.0), Row 2 (2.0/bbbbb/0.2), Row 3 (2.0/aaaaa/3.0), Row 4 (2.0/bbbbb/0.2), Row 5 (2.0/aaaaa/3.0), Row 6 (2.0/bbbbb/0.2)

The VDL Glossary ( https://finale3d.com/documentation/vdl-effect-glossary/ ) is a great resource and covers VDL effects and terms. As far as I know, the only terms missing are some beta terms that were just introduced last week (and are still only in the beta release). The VDL glossary also has convenient example videos for all the different effects.   Along with the VDL Glossary, there’s also a section of the software documentation dedicated to VDL that’s worth a read through for anyone who hasn’t checked those pages out. It covers VDL colors, firing patterns, general syntax, and just about everything else about VDL.
