Titan Group Layout Healer
Repairs the Group Layout of copied fixtures in Avolites Titan 18/19. When you Copy fixtures, the new units land in a straight line, out of order. This tool drops each copy back into the exact shape of its parent, shifted right by the offset you choose.
Before you start
- Copy TitanHealer_EN.exe into the folder of the show you want to modify.
- In Titan, save the project before doing anything else.
If you used Quick Save, make sure the file you drag onto the
.exe is exactly that Quick Save file.
Better yet, use Save As so it becomes a clean Initial Version — then there's no doubt about which file you're fixing.
Run the tool
Drag your .d4z show file onto TitanHealer_EN.exe. Or from the command line:
TitanHealer_EN.exe "my show.d4z"A backup (.d4z.BACKUP) is created automatically before any change.
Answer the prompts
The program walks you through four questions:
- Which units are the copies — the ones you just copied. Type user numbers separated by commas, e.g. 1604,1605,1606,1607
- The pairing — which original each copy was made from. It suggests the closest original in brackets [1602]; press Enter to accept or type another. Only you know what each fixture represents.
- Which groups to fix — the numbers from the on-screen list (1, 2, 3…), not the Titan # in parentheses. Enter = all.
- The offset — empty columns between the parent and the copy. Default is 2.
Confirm with Y and the show is saved.
Load the show back in Titan
Open Titan and load the show with the same name you just fixed.
Check the Group Layouts, then Ctrl+S to lock it in.
How the offset works
The copy keeps the exact shape of its parent — vertical, horizontal, matrix or diagonal — and is shifted right by a whole number of columns:
For diagonals and curves the shape and its grid alignment are preserved exactly — just moved, no distortion. If several copies share one parent, they stack to the right with the same spacing. If a target column is already occupied by another unit, the copy moves further right until it finds free space, so nothing overlaps.
Notes
- Pixel-map groups: just don't select them — they're left untouched.
- Diagonals: real fractional positions (e.g. 0.7071 steps) are preserved; only Titan's tiny rounding noise is cleaned.
- Originals are never moved and no fixtures are duplicated.
- Something looks off? Your
.d4z.BACKUPholds the exact state from before the run.
