Editing Associated Loads

There are several ways to reposition loads and set their hanging points. When a hanging position is selected, a control point displays on each associated load. To move a load, move the object position control point. When a load is attached at an offset from the selected hanging position, a control point also displays on the load’s hanging point. To adjust the hanging point on the hanging position, or move it to another hanging position, move the hanging point control point.

To assist with repositioning, trusses and lighting pipes are highlighted as the cursor moves over them.

Various commands allow you to set hanging points and move load objects directly onto their hanging positions.
