Lighting Fixture Insert on Truss

[yuval kallai]

hello 

 

I have a question 

when I'm building a truss and then want to insert a lighting fixture, the only option that I can see is the red line and only on the center of the truss, and not on one of two bottom tube of the truss (like the video attached)

 

is anyone can please explain how to fix this?

I'm using 2025 version, and if I recall on 2024 it's use fine

 

thanks

Yuval

I suspect that the Truss Symbol was made using a previous copy of Vectorworks, and the chord snapping geometry has not been added. Could that be the case?

hi

thanks for the quick respond

that is correct, I'm working with an old file from my favorites in my resource manager  

now I've tried with new one and its working just fine

is there a way to correct all the truss in my library?

Yes. You should investigate chord snapping in the help files.
