View MAster

Description

A fast, intuitive tool built to map, sync, and compile multi-screen view button configurations into macros, allowing you to keep your workspace organised for each project you do.

Tested and developed on grandMA3 v2.4.

🚀 Quick Setup

Drop the .xml file into your show folder:

• USB Drive: gma3_library/datapools/plugins
• OnPC (Windows): C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_library\datapools\plugins
• OnPC (Mac): /Users/USERNAME/MALightingTechnology/gma3_library/datapools/plugins

Inside grandMA3, swipey-edit an empty plugin pool item, and import this file.

🎮 How to Use It

Tap the plugin to open the visual layout console, then configure your workspace:

1. Set Console Mode: Toggle between Compact (7 buttons) or Light/Full-Size (10 buttons) to automatically match your hardware frame layout.
2. Handle Mirrored Screens: Toggle Mirror 2&3 if you are running a 2-screen console but still want it to be usable on a 3-screen layout.
3. Map Your Screens: Click any screen indicator tile in the popup to open its specific view slots. Select your target views from a clean, alphabetical dropdown grid.
4. Compile Your Macros: Hit Build Macro, pick your destination macro pool number, and name your setup.

💡 Quick Tips for the Best Setup

• Sync From Desk: If you already have your physical view buttons laid out on your console surfaces, hit Sync from Desk. The plugin will instantly read the current ViewButtons and pull it into memory so you can edit it visually.
• View Button Limit: If you select the 7-button Compact mode, any ViewButtons past 7 will not be deleted by the generated macro. This means that you can keep permanent views there (3D viewer, util views, etc.)
• Persistent Cache: Hit Save Config before closing. Your layouts are written straight to your show file’s Global Variables, meaning your templates stay right where you left them even after a console reboot.
