Generated movements: strange behaviour
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 5:38 am
Hi everyone at the forum.
I'm a new sunlite-user and at the moment i try to prepare my first show.
I' working with the latest sunlite2004-version.
And it is a great software, all works fine so far.
Except one thing:
If i create a new scene and insert a predefined shape (circle, polygon) it doesn't look like expected.
For example if i insert a circle it moves like an eight or in other words like two circles. Left from the graphical display of the shape (in the editor) there are two buttons: one with 'x/y' and one with 'o'. If i click on the 'x/y' the circle-shape is shown as a real circle. If i click on the 'o' then the circle-shape is shown as eight, exactly as it moves in real.
This seems to be only with moving heads. I tried the same with a scanner and it looks ok. BTW when i edit the scanner-shape the buttons 'x/y' and 'o' are not visible.
I've looked at the predifined scenes (circle1,circle2 etc.) and here it's the same.
Maybe this is by design and due to the architecture of a moving head.
Maybe i'm doing something wrong. I don't know.
I also read the manual but could not find anything in that point.
So, please please give me some advice.
I want to make a good show (with some REAL circles )
Thanks in advance
