When creating shapes, in order to make a symmetrical look (e.g. circle shape with left fixtures turning clockwise, right fixtures turning counter-clockwise) you need to (1) select half of the fixtures, (2) reverse the shape for them, (3) offset them by 180°, and (4) restart the shape to see the effect. This macro does everything (for a predefined number of fixtures at least - there are macros for other fixture quantities as well).
