DylanvanEgmond Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hello gang! im a fairly new user of vectorworks so this I probably a total newbie question.. I’ve got a roof structure with multiple “house rigging points” and a need to deadhang (no hoist) a truss in these nodes. How do I attach the truss to the house rigging point? when I use the bridle tool and attach a deadhang to the point and truss it immediately overloads in brace works. Even if I increase the “allowable force “ any tips? thanks! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Scott C. Parker Posted June 8, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 8, 2022 What happens if you do this without the house rigging points? In other words, add the dead hangs to just the truss and then calculate. Quote Link to comment
DylanvanEgmond Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Good point. I will give that a try. Thanks! the thing is that the venue has a row of wires in the roof. All with weight limitations. In that area I can only use those wires for rigging. Nothing else. so I just want to get a clear picture of the rigg and loads to the roof. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted June 9, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 9, 2022 Is it the house rigging point that is being overloaded or the Dead hang bridle itself? If its the bridle that is failing check the bridle configuration is using the correct steels and shackles Another possibility is the safety factor, make sure that the safety factor is configured for usability in the Braceworks Preferences If none of the above helps DM the file and I'll take a look 1 Quote Link to comment
