Uniform & Equipment

Uniform Style

With the Visuals Editor, you have multiple uniform “styles” to select from. Any performer at any point during a drill can wear any of the uniforms available. This means that you could have a traditional uniform for the winds and percussion, and a guard uniform for the color guard.

*All changes in the Visuals Editor are based on the location of the Yellow and Red Anchors on the Count Track. Because of this, uniforms can be changed throughout the drill. There is no restriction on how many times a uniform can be changed; just be sure to have your anchors on the Count Track in the correct location where the change will occur!

Assigning a Uniform

To select a uniform model for use, highlight (select) performers on the field and open the Visuals Editor tool. If not already selected, select the Uniform & Equipment tab.

There will be a column for Model and a Column for Fabric. Select which uniform model you would like under Uniform Style, and repeat the process for Hat Style. Once these changes are made, they will apply for the entirety of the drill, or until another change occurs. A default fabric will automatically show for each piece of the uniform selected.

Custom uniform fabrics can be added and changed on a per count basis. To add a custom fabric click the “Pencil” icon to the right of the row that you are attempting to customize. A file chooser window will show and you are able to browse the computer to find the desired image. Once a fabric is selected and accepted in the dialog it will appear in the corresponding Fabric pull down menu. Click and select the desired fabric and press Apply Changes and this will apply for the entirety of the drill, or until another change occurs.

Assigning Equipment

Carried instruments and equipment is easily assigned and changed for performers in a drill.

To have performers carry an instrument or equipment, you must first select the performers on the field with a Selection tool. Once the performers are selected, open the Visuals Editor and click on the Uniform & Equipment tab.

Select the radio button to enable the equipment “family” you wish to choose from. Once selected, the menu will be enabled, allowing you to pick the equipment of your choice.

For example, if you selected trumpets on the field, you would choose the Brass radio button, then “Trumpet” from the Brass menu.

Custom equipment fabrics can be added and changed on a per count basis. To add a custom fabric click the “Pencil” icon to the right of the row that you are attempting to customize. A file chooser window will show and you are able to browse the computer to find the desired image. Once a fabric is selected and accepted in the dialog it will appear in the corresponding Fabric pull down menu. Click and select the desired fabric and press Apply Changes and this will apply for the entirety of the drill, or until another change occurs.
