[Create GDTF fixture from MA2 and CAD]

I misunderstood your comment, sorry.
I'll give a try manually with the xml, but that's a lot to do by hand.
Anyway thanks for the help, hopefully the tool will be more friendly in the future.

[Create GDTF fixture from MA2 and CAD]

I would happily do the GDTF fixture profile and then share it online with both the manufacturer and the community. I feel like asking the manufacturer will take a very long time, but I will give a try. That's unfortunate that manufacturer have better tool than user to create those fixture profile.

I do usually start with a profile that do exist and edit it, but with the online GDTF builder, it's quite limited, I cannot import the DMX profile only or download, edit via a txt or xml file and them upload it back to GDTF. That would be so much more easy if there was a way to edit via text since with the webui that will take forever.

Thanks for the info

[Create GDTF fixture from MA2 and CAD]

Hi,

It's my first time playing with GDTF. I'm doing a show with an MA3 and I would like to have the best fixture profile and have a working 3D as well. The solution is simple; use GDTF fixture profile.

However, most of the fixture type I'm using don't have a profile in the library yet. I'm trying to built the profile, but it's gonna take forever to do it by hand. I was wondering if there is a way to import the fixture profile from an MA2, to have at least the dmx part done? For the 3D, most of the manufacturer give a DWG, but I assume converting to 3DS isn't a big deal. As of photometric information, is there a way to import this data from common photometric files (IES, LDT)?

Regards,
