Juay Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi all, I was exploring the schematic view and there is something i couldn't figure out. I had a truss that was at a 45 degree tilt, converted to a hanging position and had 3 fixtures on it. i created a schematic view and had the impression that it will remove the tilt and make it show the full length. However, it is the same length. Am i mistaken about it? the two attached image shows top/plan view and also iso view to show the tilt. Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Make sure you have the “Simplified” class turned Off. Quote Link to comment

JBenghiat Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Either: - Don’t convert to a hanging position. It’s not necessary with 2020 rigging objects - Apply your tilt after you convert to a hanging position. The contents of the HP represent the neutral orientation of the objects Quote Link to comment

The 2nd option worked for me. seems like the workflow has to be tilt of the truss object after converting. Flipping the order around will mess it up, is that so? Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 You would get one schematic view per stick of truss. This is by design, and would allow you to consider each piece as a separate position, or flatten out a non-planar run of truss. If you want the entire line of truss to be considered one position, then you do need to convert to a Hanging Position. Once a rigging object is inside a Hanging Position, you can consider it raw geometry. It's as though it were a bunch of extrudes, not a truss at an angle. The rotations of the entire Hanging Position is what the Schematic View takes into account. Quote Link to comment

cessna310 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Joshua, What major features do we give up by not converting to a hanging position besides auto-numbering? I found auto-numbering useful and I'm trying to understand better how I should change my workflow if I start using schematic views. Thanks. -Ed Quote Link to comment
