Normal frames in solo frames?

Lets say I have 3 buttons, each controling a dimmer scene for a different moving head fixture.
Now what I want is a 4th button, which will instantly deactivate those 3 buttons, and start the dimmer OFF scene for all those fixtures.

I have set that and tried to insert the 3 dimmer ON buttons in a normal frame, then nest that normal frame in a solo frame with the off button.
Now what I want is to be able to set the 3 dimmer ON buttons indepently, without turning OFF one another.
Unfortunately this doesn't work as expected, because nesting a normal frame into a solo frame turns the normal frame into a solo frame too.
So I can only turn ON only one button at a time.

Is it possible to set this up the way I want?

PanMieszko,

create 3 extra solo frames somewhere on your VC.
Put 2 buttons inside, link one to the 'on' scene. The other button you link to an off scene.
The scenes have to be the same of the frame above (linked or shared)
Now what it does... if you press an 'on' scene, the solo frame reacts and deactivates the 'off' scene.
If you press another 'on' scene, the same applies.
Now if you press the 'off' scene (with the button in the image above) it should deactivate all the 'on' scenes because the 3 solo frames do their work.
In theory this should work.
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore
