Is there an easier way to duplicate lighting fixtures along a curved truss?

Hello everyone,

I've been using the Edit → Duplicate Along Path function in Vectorworks to place lighting fixtures along a curved truss.

I imported the truss from SketchUp, traced the curve, and used the Duplicate Along Path tool to copy the fixtures along the truss. However, the orientation of the fixtures is not always correct, and I have to manually adjust the angles for each one.

Is there any trick or a more efficient way to make this process smoother?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s my current workflow:

Duplicate array in circular shape mode. Just find the curve centerpoint to duplicate around.
