Set Selected Load Trims

Spotlight > Hoists

When it is not obvious or easy to determine the elevation of a load, the height of selected hoists can still be set to an object in the drawing (usually a truss or hanging position). The low hook height of several hoists can also be set to that of another hoist, quickly setting all the hoists to the same height without needing to know the specific height.

To set the low hook height of hoists to an object or other hoist:

  1. Switch to a side 3D view, like Left, Right, or Front, that shows the hoists and the load.

  2. Select the hoists to adjust. To also adjust the height at the bottom of any other objects at the same time, select them as well.

  3. Select the command.

  4. Click on the reference object, such as a load or another hoist.

  5. The hoists are set to the adjusted Low Hook Height. If other objects were selected, the Z height (elevation) of their bottom height is also set.
