Followed the instructions on page 247 of the manual on creating a group fader. It just doesn’t work. Any insight on what I might be doing wrong?

No fixtures on in the programmer or cuelists running btw.

Thanks everyone.

It should be as simple as

1. Select the fixtures you want

2. Make a group with those fixtures selected

3. Go to your console window

4. Drag and drop that group onto a fader playback

5. Bring up the fader to control intensity

Make sure those fixtures are clear in live

So it sounds like there is something extra going on,

What fixtures are you using ?

Can you post a screenshot of the console wondow woth your group attached

Can you post a screenshot of your fixture chooser with that group selected

Let see whats going on …
