	24	+1. Locate the desired fixture in the Fixture Profile List on the right side of the Layout page
	25	+1*. Most fixtures can be controlled correctly using the generic single-channel, RGB, warm/cool, intensity/CCT, HSIC, etc. profiles
	26	+1*. Pharos also has a large selection of manufacturer-specific profiles which can be used instead of the generics
	27	+1*. Additional generic and manufacturer-specific profiles can be downloaded by clicking the cloud icon on the right, above the fixture profile list
	28	+1. Prior to adding fixtures to the layout, consider the following:
	29	+1*. ShowRunner™ uses group-level commands, so each individual load in ShowRunner™ must have a corresponding Fixture Group in Pharos
	30	+1*. The Pharos API limits commands to single-channel (intensity), RGB, or Intensity/CCT
	31	+1*. For RGBW fixtures, it may be a good idea to define them as separate RGB and W fixtures so that ShowRunner™ is able to control the white channel separately from the RGB channels
	32	+1*. Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups
	33	+1**. This allows ShowRunner™ to send different types of commands to the same fixtures
	34	+1**. Useful for certain situations, such as HSIC fixtures that need to be controlled as color-changing (RGB) in some situations but dynamic white (intensity/CCT) in others
	35	+1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the fixture profile list
	36	+1*. Every fixture that is added to the layout represents a unique set of DMX addresses
	37	+1*. The fixture number is different than the fixture address, and is automatically incremented by Pharos Designer 2
	38	+1*. Fixture properties such as name, shape, and size can be edited
	39	+1*. Right-clicking a fixture on the layout will allow you to either "Duplicate" or create a "New Instance" of a fixture
	40	+1**. Duplicating a fixture creates a new fixture with the same profile and properties but that will occupy different DMX addresses
	41	+1**. Creating a New Instance will create a new representation of the fixture without actually creating a new fixture; this allows you to have multiple fixtures represented on the layout that share the same DMX address
