Fanning with Groupings

Grouping allows you to control the way that attributes are fanned to make complex patterns.
Grouping is the number of fixtures that are fanned before the fan is repeated. For example, fanning a selection of
twelve fixtures with Grouping set to three will generate four identical fan patterns, with three fixtures each.
You may set the number of Groups from the Fan Options toolbar. To open the fan options toolbar, hit the Fan Options
button from within the default toolbar, as illustrated in
After doing so, the Fan Options Toolbar will be shown. Click on the button that reads Grouping. A new window will
be shown, asking you for the number of groups.
The Fan Options toolbar also displays the current settings
Note: All fan mode and grouping settings will be reset with the third (3rd) press of the [CLEAR] button.
