My Virtual Rig

My Virtual Rig or MVR is an open-file-format container that bundles a set of entities such as fixtures, hang structures, sets, multimedia elements, fixture control information, and others into a single file which is compatible with a large number of consoles and other applications used in the entertainment industry. The MVR file format allows CAD software applications, visualizers, and consoles to exchange files easily.

Notes:

A basic understanding of the MVR format and what it offers will help make it easier to use. We recommend you go to this link and read the fundamental information about the MVR format in https://github.com/mvrdevelopment/spec/blob/main/content/mvr-spec.md.
Familiarity with the MVR being imported will help you choose the type of Assets and which Layers to import. If you are not familiar with the MVR, it is best to proceed with the default selections from WYSIWYG. You can delete the imported entities that are not required after the import is complete.
It is strongly recommended for the Fixtures within the MVR to be associated with GDTF Profiles, else it may not be possible to determine their operation mode, DMX footprint, and other options, which may make it impossible to correctly map incoming Fixtures to their WYSIWYG counterparts.
