Patch

he Patch View offers a streamlined table view for monitoring all Carbon fixtures within your scene. This view automatically populates with every Carbon fixture present in the loaded level.

Managing Fixture Patches

To edit the patch of a fixture simply hover over the Patch column of the table for the desired fixture and press the right mouse button followed by a left click. You can then type in the corresponding patch value. The updated patch will be automatically applied to the corresponding asset in the Details panel.

All other fixture attributes can be adjusted in the patch view except for the Fixture's Model and Mode which can be changed in the Details panel. Details on fixture properties are available here.

The table displays comprehensive Patch Data for each fixture in your scene, including their position. Selecting a row in the table conveniently selects the corresponding fixture in both the World Outliner and the Viewport. Additionally, the "Locate Fixture" button instantly repositions the viewpoint to focus on the currently selected fixture.

The patch tab also provides access to a host of tools that allow quick fixture patch/system settings, as well as importing, exporting, and saving shows.
