3) Use the mouse buttons as described to change the angle. This is useful when the
blue squares at the end of the uppermost rays lie outside the displayable area.
Note that the ray colours relate to Planes 1, 2 and 3. Occasionally, when a venue
involves three planes or the second plane is a balcony which is above the level of the
first plane, the auto calculation routine will indicate
audience. This occurs when rays hit a vertical surface such as a balcony front.
Do not be tempted to switch off or heavily attenuate cabinets indicating a black ray as
this could upset the line effect producing lobes and causing room colouration.
The user has the choice of ignoring the warning, which may be advisable if the
balcony front is small or non-reflective, or manually editing the splay angles to miss
the reflective surface.
It is not advisable to miss the surface completely as temperature gradients in the air
can steer high frequencies upwards or downwards by 5° or more from the direction
the cabinets are pointing in.

This shows a close up of the array along with dimensions and splay angles. The
gridlines are calibrated in 0.2m or 0.5ft increments, depending on which unit system is
selected. Using the gridlines it is possible to read off dimensions such as the depth of
any part of the array.
