Feature request: Braceworks Video Screen

[Projx_CA]

We often hang video screens on VER-lock cable drops from trusses.

 

My feature request is to have Braceworks incorporate the "'Screen Support>Sliders" function, and see the screen as a load a few feet below the truss.  (I generally move the screen to the same elevation as the truss to force a calculation).

 

I can also insert point loads at 50% of the screen weight, on each end then turn off screen calculation, but that adds a few steps....

So Braceworks calculates the screen and projector correctly, but does not like the slider supports having no Allowable Force on the drop to the screen. 

 

Later in the report, the sliders are seen as a Suspension Point capable of supporting 0 lbf.

 

Any way to enable a load on the sliders, or hide them in the report?

@Projx_CA Currently there is no way of assigning an allowable force to the sliders or hiding them from the report.

We will look into a way of handling sliders.
