HI Drew, I am aware of that feature. I want to use the “Quota” to provide a guideline of what I can use in each show. For Example, I have 25 Red Crossettes in Available (<0) in My Effects. I want to use no more than 8 in each of 3 shows. I unhid the Quota Column in Per show effects, But I cannot populate any quantity in that column.

Hi EhlanaG, here are a couple questions to help us troubleshoot the issue:   1) Did you recently update Finale 3D? If yes, does the problem go away if your install the version you were running previously? 2) Do you know what version of Finale 3D you have installed?

Hey EhrlichFire, check out Quota in Table 1 of Inventory management basic instructions.   Since a “Quota” is the quantity earmarked for a specific show, the numbers need to be entered in Per-show effects. An easy way to set quotas is to create a spreadsheet with two columns “Part Number” and “Quantity”. Then, save the spreadsheet as a CSV file and import it into Finale 3D by going to File > Import > Import quotas for show. This will populate the part numbers and quotas into Per-show effects. Once they are in Per-show effects, they will show through into My Effects and any other effect collection. Optionally, you can then go to Effects > Update Per-show effects to pull all the other details for the products into Per-show effects.

ok another cool thing to have on rack diagrams is annotations that can have a leader line to each tube, could say things like the product

I have had the same issue today! Been running fine on the same laptop up until today. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it never opens. IT department said this is all they could find that was showing a sign of error.  

Did you try crackle flowers? I think that’s the one you want… Barehm wrote: Thank you DrewFinale – that worked very well. Good VDL advice and some some pyro manufacturing background! I’ve noticed that using popcorn crackling gives me a secondary break and hence a sound node when I look in the effect editor. Something like “intense crackling” doesn’t act as a break and hence I get no sound. Is this intentional?

Hello, I wanted to use the Quota Column in Finale to monitor how many effects want to use in a show. However, when I tried to enter a Quots number for an effect the number does not load in My Effects. How do I enter quantities for Quotas?  

Greetings Finale3D and Pyro Community,   I’m Jamie from Belleville, IL east of St Louis Mo. I have been a pyro since my days as a Combat Engineer in the Army. I am a Union Pipefitter that loves my boom booms. I have recently started using Cobra. Glad to be part of this community to see where it will take me for future Pyro shows.

Ahh okay, the cues aren’t actually moving, it’s just a sync issue between the music and simulation. This is rare but we have seen it before. This is most likely a hardware or driver issue on your computer, not specifically something you’re doing in your design workflow. Try getting the latest sound card driver from your computer manufacturer’s website. Updating your graphics card driver and other drivers may help as well.
