Build Array Based On

Module Counts and Spacing

Sets the size of the entire LED array based on the number of modules specified in the horizontal and vertical directions, as well as the horizontal and vertical spacing distance set between the modules

Overall Dimensions and Spacing

Sets the size of the entire LED array based on the specified array width and height, as well as the horizontal and vertical spacing between the modules; the screen count is automatically calculated

Overall Dimensions and Module Counts

Sets the size of the entire LED array based on the specified array width and height, as well as the number of modules specified in the horizontal and vertical directions; the spacing is automatically calculated

Array Width/Height

Specifies the width and height of the entire LED array, when the array is based on overall dimensions

Horizontal/Vertical Spacing

Specifies the spacing between modules in the horizontal and vertical directions, when the array is based on spacing parameters

Horizontal/Vertical Count

Specifies the number of modules in the horizontal and vertical directions, when the array is based on the module counts

Module Total

Displays the total calculated number of modules in the array

Width/Height (Calc.)

Displays the calculated width and height of the array, when determined by module count and spacing

H/V Spacing (Calc.)

Displays the calculated module spacing in the horizontal and vertical directions, when the array is determined by the overall dimensions and module counts

H/V Count (Calc.)

Displays the total number of modules in the horizontal and vertical directions, when the array size is determined by the overall dimensions and module spacing

Pixels Per Module H/V

Specifies the number of horizontal or vertical pixels for each module (for calculation purposes only; does not affect the module display)

Array Size (Pixels)

Displays the total number of pixels for the entire LED array

Array Aspect

Specifies the aspect ratio of the array

Base Structure

Select a base structure for the array; modify the appearance of the structure by selecting Class LED Array Parts and then editing the structure class

Blocks

Creates a structure of individual blocks bases for each module

Frame

Creates a single frame for the entire array

Curtain

Creates a single background for the array

Web

Creates a webbed structure behind the modules

Vert. Strips

Places the LED modules in vertical columns

Horiz. Strips

Places the LED modules in horizontal rows

None

Does not create a base structure for the array; displays only the LED modules

Base Width

Specifies the width of blocks, vertical or horizontal strips, or the entire frame

Base Height

Specifies the height of blocks, vertical or horizontal strips, or the entire frame

Base Depth

Specifies the depth of blocks, vertical or horizontal strips, or the entire frame

Horizontal Inset

Sets the horizontal distance (margin) between the horizontal edge of the base structure and the array

Vertical Inset

Sets the vertical distance (margin) between the vertical edge of the base structure and the array

Pleat Width

For curtain or web structures, specifies the pleat width of the curtain (2D only for web structures)

Pleat Depth

For curtain or web structures, specifies the pleat depth of the curtain (2D only for web structures)

Webbing Width

For web structures, sets the width of the connecting web segments

Tilt

Specifies the tilt angle of the screen array

Simple 3D

Creates a single textured 3D polygon to represent the screen modules; this speeds rendering when each module does not need to be shown individually

Edit Array Image

Opens the Edit Screen Image dialog box

Array Image

Displays the name of the current screen image

Wattage

Enter the required wattage, for power consumption calculations and reporting

Note

Adds a note, which can be placed in the drawing with the Text Options 

Text Options

Opens the Text Options dialog box, to enable the display and format the text of labels

Default Text Positions

Restores text labels to their default positions

Classes

Opens the Classes dialog box, to specify class naming for the various portions of the LED screen. This allows portions of the LED screen to be set to visible, grayed, or invisible.

Use the standard class, select a class from the list of classes present in the drawing, or create a new class. Select <LED Screen Class> to place the LED screen element in the same class as the LED screen.

●       Class Prefix: Specifies an optional default root class naming standard for all LED screen parts; click Assign Default Classes With Prefix to begin all LED screen class names with the prefix, so that they are sorted together.

●       Assign Default Classes With Prefix: Sets the class names for all LED screen elements to the standard, using the Class Prefix if there is one.

●       LED screen elements: For each portion of the LED screen, specifies the class name standard; the class names shown here are applied to the elements.

Update

Updates the object when changes have been made to the Object Info palette parameters

Load Information

An LED screen is considered a distributed load in Braceworks calculations; if the screen is inserted parallel to a rigging object, it is considered to be a load on that structure. Load information is used for Braceworks calculations and reports (Braceworks required).

Include in Calculations

(Braceworks required)

Includes the LED screen in Braceworks calculations; deselect to exclude the object from participating in structural calculations

Load Group Name

The load category is always Video for LED screen objects

Load ID

Enter a unique ID for the load for informational use in reports

Load Name

Identifies the object in load calculations

Distributed Weight

Enter the distributed weight of the LED screen object; changes here also affect the Total Weight value

Total Weight

Enter the total weight of the object
