Wondering if things such as clamps/dimmers/cables/consoles are to be spec'd as well? Or if it is strictly fixtures in the budget. This is rather important to the design/budgeting process.

Thanks!

also can we have soft goods like spandex and scrim

and i also have a question. if we do in fact have to spec. this things we might as well spec dmx cables and terminators?

I would agree with this. I can easily design as lights only, but for practicle purposes, it seems more feesible to allow at least a side budget for such things as wire, Cable, terminators, connectors and so forth.

This is a great question. My initial assumption was that the budget is a fixture only budget. Since we are using retail pricing I felt that cables, terminators, clamps, safeties, etc. could be included per fixture. We all know we must account for these items, so can someone offer further clarification?

im sure we will hear from elatin pro or mikey or eric on mon. they are never in office on the weekends. i look forward to answrs like he rest of us. seeing as how it isonly like day three and my budget is gettin smaller by the day! LOL

lol Think thats bad. I totally forgot about power, and went over by about 300amps within two hours before realizing it.

It is a fixture only budget, your infrastructure is included in each fixture price.
I can't wait to see all of your great designs.
Thanks!

so can I add spandex and any other soft goods also can the truss be raised and lowered

yes on the soft goods, no on the truss

Just to clarify, does fixtures only mean we do not have to spec and account for a board and dimmers?

Include dimmers as they would be a necessary element to operate conventionals, but your console by default is Compu Live (free, no need to spec it). If you would like to spec a separate console, feel free to, but it will be taken out of your budget.

Thanks

are we supposed to spec in extra dmx cables?
