Fan/Spread attribute values across fixtures via command line and/or cell editors?
Posted: 04 Apr 2018, 20:38
I recently had the pleasure of spending some time on an Arena console (running Titan 10.1), this was my first exposure to Titan in any serious way so I can't help but think I'm missing something obvious due to my lack of knowledge of the console.
Is there some way to fan/spread an attribute value across multiple fixtures via command line syntax? As a quick example, if I have a bunch of dimmers selected in the programmer, the Intensity attribute bank is on with Dimmer on wheel A, and I wanted to fan the dimmer values starting at 5% on the first dimmer and ending at 100% on the last dimmer I was expecting the following syntax to work
I also tried from both the programmer and view cue windows to block select the attribute column then
Also tried selecting just the actual attribute cells rather than block selecting by pressing the column header but none of these attempts worked.
In the end I had to whip out a calculator for all the spreads I wanted to achieve and workout the mid point with
Then set the attribute level to that mid point and with all fixtures selected hit <Fan> then dial the first fixture down to the range min value. But can't shake the feeling that there is an easier way to do this?

(range max - range min) / 2 + range min
