grandMA3 allows building your own fixture types. Therefore, the grandMA3 software benefits of 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

In the following topics it is displayed how to use the Fixture Type Editor. There is also a simple example for how a standard fixture type can look like.

	Important:
	Creating fixture types can be necessary to project real-live 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!

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