**Requirement:**

Patched multipatch fixtures. See [Add Multipatch Fixtures](/grandma3/2-4/patch_add_multipatch/).

Multipatch fixtures can be selected via the command line by typing their CID number or global position order in the patch. See [Add Multipatch Fixtures](/grandma3/2-4/patch_add_multipatch/).

The following is an example of how to assign primary fixture 1 and its multipatch fixtures to a layout. Before doing so, ensure that you have read ['Create a Layout']().



To assign fixture 1 multipatch fixtures 1 thru 5:

1. Select the new layout pool object you have created.

2. Write the following syntax in the command line.

   |                                                                    |                                                          |

Layout 3

The selection color is light red instead of yellow (the default color). When a multipatch fixture is selected, the primary ID will flash between yellow and light red in the fixture sheet.
