Build a compound fixture in Hog 4

Explanation

This guide will explain how to create a compound fixture in Hog 4 v3.9.0 or above fixture builder. 

Steps

1. Figure out the parts needed based on the DMX chart of the fixture.
   1. If looking at the chart above for Quad, there are 5 parts, a master and 4 cells.
      
2. Use the fixture builder to build a fixture type for each unique part of the fixture
   1. Building a Quad in the fixture builder, you would need to build 2 parts, the master and the cell.
3. When scheduling the fixture, make sure that each part has the proper number scheduled.
   1. 1 Quad in the show = 1 master and 4 cells
   2. 4 Quads in the show = 4 masters and 16 cells
4. ** OPTIONAL ** Give dotted user numbers to your fixtures
   1. Giving dotted user numbers will simulate a true compound fixture from the Fixture Library in Hog 4 OS

      Master cells are usually just whole numbers and do not have a dotted user number

   2. Quad user number scheme

      User Number	Fixture Part Name
      101	Master
      101.1	Cell 1
      101.2	Cell 2
      101.3	Cell 3
      101.4	Cell 4
