Juay Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 Hi all, I am trying to get a total weight load of a hanging position Autoplot seem to be well liked by many for this but I have some items that display the weight load in gram event though the header is KG thus i was trying to use a position summary to get fixtures counts with load and also opening the Hanging position to select all the truss elements to paste the HP name in the truss position name field. So if this works out properly, i can make a worksheet summarize by position name and length with total count However, it appears empty when i put it on a worksheet Any idea why so?

JBenghiat Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 If you're looking for a notation on the drawing, Savvy Position Label will give you totals and counts in a note, can can work with Hanging Positions, as well as directly with Truss systems and lines. It does not currently provide data for a worksheet, though. https://benghiatlighting.com/software/support/user-guides/savvy-position-label-4-user-guide/#objectparameters Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 @JBenghiat Josh, can one make a worksheet of Savvy Position Labels and get counts and totals from that? Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 It puts the data into a notes field — so you can report on position name and note, but the latter is a single piece of data. It’s not as data-connected as Truss Tags. Quote Link to comment
Juay Posted May 19, 2024 Author Share Posted May 19, 2024 Hi @Sam Jones and @JBenghiat thanks for weighing in on this! Will have a look into the link. Quote Link to comment
Chris Sterman Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 I'm looking to make a data tag that works with truss hang positions. Give the information needed to communicate with house riggers or stagehands laying out truss I would like the tag to read as. Postion Name Truss length 85' (8) 12"x12" x 10' (1) 12"x12 x 5' Trim 30' Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Good luck. I don't know how data tag would access the piece count, but perhaps a tag wizard will share. I'm pretty sure Josh Benghiat's "Savvy Position Label" will do the job, and below is an example of an AutoPlot Tools, "Truss Tag". The graphic arrangement can be customized; I assume that is also true for the Savvy Position Label. Quote Link to comment
