Looms — build sheets

A loom in netmap is the real thing the shop wraps: a name, a length, an identity color, a free-text tape marker ("RED tape every 6 inches"), an orientation note, and the member legs — qty × connector, each with a function and a function color. The color convention follows the shop's: color one is the loom's identity, color two is the function color, auto-suggested (MA Net = blue, sACN = red, Artnet = green, timecode = blue, com = white) and editable per leg.

Looms live in a stock library saved across shows. Duplicate one, tweak the legs, and your four festival stock looms become a catalog.

02Stamp it into the show

Stamp into show prompts for the two ends once — source and destination — then creates every member leg as a prefilled cable row: connector-mapped, signal set, loom length, both ends, and a "Loom:" note so removing the loom also removes its rows. Labels stay blank for auto-numbering. One stamp, and every leg is in the cable schedule with nothing typed twice.

03What prints

The export gains a Loom Build Sheets section — one card per loom with the banner, meta, tape marker and member table with color codes — plus a looms rollup in the Pull / Prep Summary (qty / loom / length / contents). Loom labels print from the Labels tab with the rest.

Looms are free for all tiers — no add-on
