I'm trying to get 2 subattributes in MA3D to visualize but can't get them to work so far.
I notice the documentation on parameters is not quite correct when it comes to the Barndoors visualizing. The supplied naming convention is "BARNDOORS 1" for the Subattribute on page 43 of the manual. This naming convention does not create the visualization for the '_XA1' helper. The proper naming convention to visualize the '_XA1' rotating is actually, "BARNDOOR1". I discovered this with the 'FixtureBuilder' program. This is where I found the attributes for the shapers and postion objects.
Toward this end, I have 2 Subattributes that won't visualize yet; I'm assuming[yes I am...] the names are not quite exactly correct and we all know if a string ain't spelt rite, they don't work.... The offending names are the "CLAMP" Subattribute naming convention and the "BARNDOORSINDEX" naming convention. The parameter names of the helpers are "_XAC" and "_XAB". The parameters arrive in the 3DS model functioning with sliders in the Properties Tab just fine, but not when pointed to in the profiles...?!?
I can get the parameters and DMX values into the encoders, its jut not visualizing in MA3D with those names in the profiles for subattributes.
Is there anyone who knows what gets these subattributes visualizing? Pretty sure it's just some bad naming....as I built the fixture, each slider would be removed from the Properties Tab as I created it in the profile. I've been moving parameter by parameter just fine till these 2.
Thanks.

PS: I know the "_XAB" helper works, I have a barndoor on a Source4 par that rotates in MA3D just fine....;)
