World Picker

Description

**Updated for GrandMA3 v2.5.x**

A Faster, Cleaner Way to Work With Worlds in grandMA3

World Picker is a lightweight grandMA3 utility from RG3 Plugins that gives you fast, visual access to the Worlds you use most often.

Instead of navigating to the Worlds pool or remembering pool numbers during programming, World Picker creates a compact, customizable interface where your selected Worlds are available as clearly labeled buttons.

Select a World with a single click and keep your attention on programming—not pool navigation.

Simple Setup. Fast Access.

World Picker is designed to stay out of your way.

Open Setup, choose the Worlds you want available in the picker, and World Picker builds the interface for you. Each button displays the World number and name so you can immediately see what’s available.

Once configured, switching between Worlds is as simple as clicking a button.

Key Features

• Quick World Selection — Access frequently used Worlds from one compact window.
• Visual Status — Easily see which World is currently selected.
• Custom Configuration — Choose which Worlds appear in your picker.
• Automatic World Names — Buttons display the World number and its current name.
• Full World Support — Quickly return to the Full World when needed.
• Compact Interface — Designed to use minimal screen space while remaining easy to operate.
• Persistent Configuration — Configure your picker once and have your selections ready when you need them.
• Native grandMA3 Workflow — Built specifically to complement normal grandMA3 programming rather than replace it.

Built for Real-World Programming

Worlds are incredibly useful for controlling which fixtures are available while programming, but constantly navigating back to the Worlds pool can interrupt your workflow.

World Picker keeps those selections immediately accessible.

Create Worlds for different areas of your rig, fixture types, departments, or programming tasks—then place the Worlds you use most often directly in World Picker.

For example:

Full World • Sports • Beams • Wash • Battens • LED Pars • Upright Fixtures • Downstage Fixtures

One click changes the active World and lets you continue working.

Know What’s Active

World Picker provides clear visual feedback so you can quickly identify the currently selected World.

This is especially useful in larger showfiles where accidentally programming while the wrong World is active can lead to confusion.

World Picker keeps that information visible and accessible from one location.

Designed for grandMA3

World Picker is built specifically for the grandMA3 platform and follows the same philosophy as other RG3 Plugins utilities:

Solve a specific programming problem with a simple tool that doesn’t get in the programmer’s way.

The plugin handles configuration and World selection while continuing to use grandMA3’s existing World system. Your Worlds remain normal grandMA3 show objects and can still be accessed and managed using the console’s standard tools.
