Carts Limits - Z Camera Floor Restriction¶

Summary¶

A field note explains that a rig can appear to refuse movement in Z Camera because the lens node has been manually pushed below a Cartesian limit. In that state, Flair may only allow movement back toward the valid range.

Symptoms¶

Z Camera will only move upward, not downward.
Rig was manually pushed / moved in push-moco below an expected floor limit.
Operator thinks an axis is stuck, but the behavior is a Cartesian limit recovery.
X Camera or other Cartesian restrictions may have a different root cause.

WhatsApp Excerpts¶

Timestamp	User	Evidence
2025-07-23 00:09	Tom D	Suggested checking Setup > Carts Limits; Z CAMERA may be set so the lens node cannot pass through the floor at 0m. A Cinebot Mini was pushed manually below the Z Camera limit, after which clicked Z movement would only go up until back in range.
2025-07-23 00:09	Tom D	Noted this likely would not explain an X CAMERA restriction and suggested checking lens profile separately.

Community Solutions¶

[LIKELY] Check Z CAMERA Minimum Limit¶

Open Setup > Carts Limits and inspect Z CAMERA minimum. If it is set around floor level, Flair may prevent the lens node from passing through that plane.

[LIKELY] Move Back Into The Valid Cartesian Range¶

If the rig was pushed below the limit manually, first move it back into the allowed range. Flair may permit only recovery movement until the node is legal again.

[LIKELY] Check Lens Profile If The Restricted Axis Is Not Z¶

If X Camera or another Cartesian value is restricted, test another lens profile and inspect nodal offsets, because lens geometry can affect Cartesian reach and limit calculations.
