after a few starts and exits, i lost the color pinwheel on my RGBmix buttons for some LED fixtures....

These fixtures are critical for my install, as they are the house and ceiling washes!!

I need to be able to change their color and "regenerate preset buttons" is doing nothing!

please help! nothing in the manual about creating your own buttons/switches with the color pinwheel.

well u might lose all ur work so far but have u tried re opening the page?

i could try that tommorrow.... club is open right now and patrons are here!!

cant kill the lights!

thats cool have fun. let me know tomm. peace! jingles!!

HINT HINT

if they pay me i will do it. but u guys got each night till i fall asleep! lol

any suggestions from the official Elation staff??

Need to get this issue resolved by Wednesday!

Hi Level,
I'm not sure what you mean by RGB color wheels?
As color wheel and RGB color mixing are two different color options.
For the Color wheel you have a group of color buttons.
For RGB color mixing you have a color pick pallet for color picking. where you can click on the exact color you want.
If this is what your refering to then you must be pressing the button rearangement icons at the top of the page.
You must be in compression mode for the color pick pallet to show.
Here is a small image.

ok i was mixing terms then. I mean on, for example, a generic LED fixture with chan for R, G, and B... one of the buttons compu generates initially is the color pallete where you see all the colors, and can click/drag to get the color you want.

I suppose this is the RGB color mixing you speak of. the generated title on the button is "RGBmix"

I have experimented with seemingly all combinations of the compression buttons at the top of the page, but I will try some more to see if I can make it show back up.

Is there a way to simply regenerate a button like this on my own?

The only way to generate the RGBMix is by creating a new page.
The only way to completly remove the RGB mix is by deleting it or deleting a switch button.

unfortunately no combination of the compression or sorting buttons for the page would make the color pinwheel reappear. I guess I have to re-make those pages then :-(

not good! hope you guys can find a fix/cause....

i also tried moving/undocking/resizing the pages and no luck.

i wonder if u save just your lights page file in ur sl2006 folder and then re generate it and then copy and paste ur scenes files in the light data folder for the same fixtures, i wonder if it would work? does that make sense? so that way u get ur buttons regenerated and maybe still have ur work? might work?

Unfortunatly we kind fix it if we can't find the problem.
Your case would be the first case with this issue.
Before you generate a page, can you save the show, which saves your entire set up, and e-mail it to info@elationlighting.com attn: John Lopez.

I'll have to take a look at your work.

yep, i can do that! expect it later on this evening when i am back to work
