Straight Truss
|
● Designer: Detailing ● Spotlight: Rigging |
Insert and configure straight trusses with the Straight Truss tool. Straight trusses function as rigging objects, so lighting devices and other loads can attach directly to the truss. Straight trusses support full 3D rotation, and they can be used to create schematic views.
Straight truss parameters are illustrated by the following diagram.
To add a straight truss to the light plot:
1. Click the tool.
2.Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the length and rotation.
The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
Trusses are 2D/3D hybrid objects. Complex trusses can increase the time required to render the model in 3D.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
A connection interval shorter than the defined interval length is displayed in red when Highlight is selected.
