mwysolme Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) I have added the truss. have it hanging in the air. How to I determine weather the light hangs from it or sits on top of the truss. It seems that when ever I add the light it just under hangs. Edited February 14, 2008 by mwysolme Quote Link to comment
Greg_at_ils Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 As far as I know you need to either use a symbol that has the 3D portion in the proper position. So you would copy the symbol, rename it and then edit the 3D part rotating it to the correct orientation or you can also use the OBJ Info palette to change the x and y rotation. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted February 14, 2008 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 14, 2008 If you have 2008 just select the instrument, check the box "Set 3D Orientation" and then set the Y rotation to 180. This will rotate the instrument to be top hung. (It will still be on the bottom of the truss.) You can simply adjust the Z height of the instrument to move it to the to chord of the truss.
