Changing the Trim Height of a System

The trim height of an entire system can be easily adjusted. All associated loads, hoists, and connected objects also move with the system. The system does not need to be selected first.

It is critical to change the trim height of systems with this method. Do not adjust the height by changing the Z value of a structural element from the Object Info palette.

To change the trim height of a system:

1. From the Object Info palette of one of the selected hanging positions or truss objects, click Change trim height of system.

The Change Trim Height dialog box opens.

►    Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Value	For an absolute trim height, enter the height or distance value. For a relative change to the trim height, enter the positive or negative offset value.
Reference	Select whether the Value indicates a new set height for the system by selecting Absolute, or whether the system moves up (positive Value) or down (negative Value) by the defined offset by selecting Relative

2. Click OK to change the trim height.

The trim height of all the hanging positions, trusses, and connected objects in the system changes. The length of some hoists may increase or decrease, depending on whether they are above or below and whether the system was moved up or down.
