grandMA3 allows building your own fixture types. Therefore, the grandMA3 software benefits from using a Fixture Type Editor. In this editor, it is possible to set up a custom-made fixture type using different inputs. For example:
        
        
        
          - 
            DMXModes
          
 
          - 
            Geometries
          
 
          - 
            PhysicalDescriptions
 
        - Wheels
 
        
        
        The following topics demonstrate how to use the Fixture Type Editor and provide a simple example of what a standard fixture type can look like. 
        
        
          
            
              
                 
               | 
              
                Important:
               | 
            
            
              
                Creating fixture types can be necessary to project real-life fixtures that have not been built yet.

               | 
              
                Important:
               | 
            
            
              
                Instead of creating a new fixture type it can be easier and faster to take an existing fixture type and adjust only the differences!

                It is also possible to build fixtures using the GDTF Builder and import them to grandMA3. For more information, see Import GDTF.
