I have patched 24 Generic RGB 24-channel led fixtures. I create the following chase:
- Step 1. All virtual dimmers 100%
- Step 2. All virtual dimmers 0%

I set the crossfade to 100% and fixture overlap to 0%. Now the led tubes fade as a single fixture, the individual cells do not fade after each other.
Can you make a setting at the fixture overlap that says it will include subfixtures?

It is possible to change this by modifying your selection before recording the chase like follows:
  1. Select your 24 fixtures either directly or using a group.
  2. Press the . (decimal point) on the keypad followed by Enter. This selects all the sub-fixtures of the selected fixtures.
  3. Put the dimmer to full and record your first step in the chase.
  4. Put the dimmer to zero and record the second step.

In the chase created above the fixture overlap will work on each cell rather than each fixture.

Ow, nice, Thanks!
Is there somewhere a small overview of all those little tricks that are somewhat hidden? (Call it a "Operators Cheat Sheet")

A list of all the tricks wouldn't be small! However, the release notes contain some useful overviews.

See 6.0 New Features section 20 for sub fixture numeric selection options.

We all know that Titan remembers in which order you select the fixtures.
Is there any way to let titan "randomize" this selection, so we could easily create random dimmer spreads?

I suggested this a while ago: shuffle order, and shuffle value. At least it made it on the list - but I don't know if this will be done anytime soon.
