Bill McGarvin Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I'm having a terrible time trying to unattach fixtures from a truss. When I initially brought the fixtures into my drawing they snapped to the truss and now list that truss in each fixture's OIP, (under "Equipment Subparts". Currently if I try to select the fixtures and remove them from the truss they look separate but still move if I try moving the truss. How can i unattach them? There doesn't appear to be an option for the in the OIP. Bill Edited December 20, 2023 by Bill McGarvin Quote Link to comment
spettitt Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 This happens a lot. Use the Manage Loads tool in Remove mode to break the association from the fixture to the truss. Quote Link to comment
Bill McGarvin Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Awesomes. Thanks. Is there a tutorial somewhere that details how the manage loads tool works? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Scott C. Parker Posted December 21, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 21, 2023 The truss shouldn’t be a sub part of the light. Can you share the file with me? Quote Link to comment
Bill McGarvin Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Thanks Scott, I appreciate you taking a look. In the drawing I'm currently in the process of making a pipe/unistrut structure to hold some Epix strips. As suggested I used the manage loads to disassociate the strips from the truss because if anything, I'd want them to associate with my fake unistrut i made. (I'm also having an issue inserting Chezboroughs into the drawing. It seems every time I try they disappear). I kept getting an error when trying to attach the file here so here's a dropbox link. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xm43quuijkxyx3t9b9tlk/MONGO-SKO-2024_billmcgarvin.vwxw?rlkey=7sxbnak5vw86nqx9iy3l3lmst&dl=0 Quote Link to comment
