Layout View and/or Pixel Mapping

As I'm sure many people have attested and I'm sure you know, visualization should be on your radar in order to compete in a market that continues to bridge the gap between lighting and video. More and more I'm designing with LEDs fixtures that are everywhere and grouping, fanning and offsets only go so far and are extremely more time consuming than ideally desired.

One suggestion to ease the pain until HE warms up to it would be to create a layout view where a person can drop in a group of fixtures and lay them out in a configuration to better and more efficiently run effects across a series of lights and not have to do so much grouping and buddying to achieve a desired result.
