Truss Pickups

[nakedeye]

On the VW2020 Spotlight introduction film last year using the Kiss tour as an example I can see a steel connection between the hoist and the truss, is this part of brace works does anyone know or part of the main spotlight module?

There are some truss pickups in the Vectorworks Libraries>Objects-Ent Truss>Truss Pickups folder in the Resource Manager.  However, at this time they are setup as static rigging accessories and have no Braceworks or Auto Connect functionality.

Hey Justin,

 

Adding truss pickups and wraps seems like a rabbit hole unto itself. After all these years I still seem to regularly come across some crazy trick to do a thing with a specific sling 🙂

Is there a timeline to add 520mm/20.5" truss wraps as a symbol?

Sub-question...how about the ability to offset the hoist via the resource manager for truss other than 290mm/400mm?

 

Would also be nice to call out the length of sling used. Lengths vary regionally across the globe. I do like the hybrid window when viewed in top/plan, but again, it needs to include a length callout, imho. Any feedback is warmly received.
