Unable to place fixtures on Light positions


Recommended Posts

I have placed a truss and made it in to a light position.

The truss is on a height of 6000 but what ever I do all my fixtures is placed on 0 height.

I have probably only missed some thing, but what?

Second of there is a strange thing going on when i convert a truss to a light position.

If i have a truss on the height of 6000 and i convert it in to a light position it will remain in place next to all my other trusses but the Z value is reset in to 0

Hello

The process should be:

Create the Truss, leaving it's Z at 0.

Convert to Light Position. Set the Z of the Light Position to 6000.

Add your lights - they pick up the Z of the Light Position, not the truss within it.

Hope that helps!
