Josh Schulman Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I often deal with 3-d truss rigs and am hanging units not just below the truss but above them and yoked straight off of them as well. Why isn't there a way to tell the lights how they are hung instead of assuming that they are all underhung? Because all of the symbols are 2d/3d hybrids you can't just duplicate the symbol and flip it about in 3d. Where this gets really frustrating is when I export my files to my light board. They don't look right and that's no good. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There is. In the OIP of the instrument check the box for Set 3D orientation. Two new fields will appear for the X and Y rotation. hth mk Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Josh - It might be worth your while to take the time to create a series of Red Symbols with the different rotations pre-set and, potentially, using different 2D geometry. I've found that to be a nice time-saver when placing fixtures in different orientations (bottom-hung, side-hung, floor, etc.). Quote Link to comment
Josh Schulman Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thank you both. I ended up finding it on my own. Andrew, I ended up playing around with it until I found 3 basic hanging positions. Then I wrote them down on a sticky note and put it on my monitor. I do with that it were more intuitive though. It should be somewhere near the top of the OIP along with X, Y, Z, and rotation. Quote Link to comment
