I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious here..

I have some Sunstrip Actives but can't for the life of me figure out how to get the pixel mapper to arrange these horizontally, whenever i try dragging the blocks they move as a vertical block, and I can't move the pixels individually (for obvious reasons I guess) ... is there a simple way to rotate the fixture that I'm missing ?

Essentially I'm looking for
[][][]... [][][]...

instead of
[] []
[] []
[] []
.. ..

If that makes any sense (a picture is worth 1000 words, but maybe not my bad attempt at ASCII illustrations ;))

Select 'angle' from the context menu and then rotate using the wheels.

Having the group created, selected and layout editor started:
- use wheels to rotate all to 270° (or 90°, depending from your setup)
- [Arrange Fixtures>]
- Height = 1
- [OK]

That's it.

The default orientation is defined in the personality:

Hence, if you change the X and Y values, you can make your preferred orientation, if you want.

I don't know why, I never thought of using the wheels...... thanks guys
