Props not updating DMX settings correctly

Got Greg taken care of.  Short answer is he was trying to over complicate it.  Simplified each of the 8 props to make them one pixel.

Thanks again Jim. I will test it all out after this season comes to a close. And if it works, I will redo my lamp posts as well.

You could still use a custom shape - yet only be 1 Pixel

By setting the the bulbs in the custom shape to all 1's

When the prop was created in Custom Light Placement - each bulb was assigned a bulb number ( since it was a single Bulb Prop - the only number that should of been used is 1) as it is a same Pixel through the Custom Prop Shape..

That was the solution and one that I understand.

For 6 years it has ran in this weird configuration without issue. The only reason I noticed it was because I was redoing my preview. This prop has followed me from S4 to S5 to S6. So I guess it's wonder it still worked with that strange configuration.

After the show season ends, I will give the update/fix a go and see if it works.

If it works as expected, I will redo my lamp posts as well. They are still in that strange config and currently running today in my show.
