A way to make a stage more realistic is to use environmental fixture types. These fixture types are anything other than lighting fixtures, such as stages, trusses, seating, or scenery.

Environmental fixture types are part of the fixture library in the Patch menu. The environmental fixture types can be found in the "Set" manufacturer folder of the Insert New Fixtures overlay.

For more information on how to add new fixtures, see Add fixtures to the show.

Environmental fixtures do not have DMX addresses.

The Hide Environmental button hides all fixture types that do not have at least one DMX address assigned to a DMX channel. This button can be found in the Patch menu, the Live Patch menu, the Fixture Type section, and the Insert New Fixture dialog.

	Hint:
	www.gdtf-share.com contains even more environmental fixture types.
