	20	+1. Navigate to the "Layout" page by clicking the pencil and ruler icon on the left
	21	+1. At the top left, click "Manage..." to edit the layout name and dimensions, modify grid settings, and upload a background image if desired
	22	+1. Locate the desired fixture in the Fixture Profile List on the right side of the Layout page
	23	+1*. Most fixtures can be controlled correctly using the generic single-channel, RGB, warm/cool, intensity/CCT, HSIC, etc. profiles
	24	+1*. Pharos also has a large selection of manufacturer-specific profiles which can be used instead of the generics
	25	+1*. Additional generic and manufacturer-specific profiles can be downloaded by clicking the cloud icon on the right, above the fixture profile list
	26	+1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the fixture profile list
	27	+1*. Every fixture that is added to the layout represents a unique set of DMX addresses
	28	+1*. Note that the fixture number is different than the fixture address, and is automatically incremented by Pharos Designer 2
	29	+1*. Right-clicking a fixture on the layout will allow you to "Duplicate" or create a "New Instance" of a fixture
	30	+1**. Duplicating a fixture creates a new fixture with the same profile and properties
	31	+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
	32	+1. When adding fixtures to the layout, keep in mind ShowRunner™ uses group-level controls and that the Pharos API has certain limitations on the types of commands that can be sent
	33	+1*. ShowRunner™ is only able to send RGB, single-channel, and intensity/CCT commands
	34	+1*. Other fixture types (such as HSI, warm/cool, ICHS, etc.) still work correctly, but only RGB, single-channel, and intensity/CCT commands can be sent
	35	+1*. RGBW fixtures should be defined as separate RGB and W fixtures so that ShowRunner™ can control the white channel separately from the RGB channels
