Josh K. Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 For what the group I am a part of does almost exclusively when we use truss we use truss stands to get them up as we could be outside, in a building, or anywhere on our campus and we don't have the time to do actual rigging with chain motors. Im looking for something like a ST-180(https://www.globaltruss.com/st-180) as that is one of the ones we have and use often. I haven't been able to find anything of that type of item on the resource manager and was wondering if anyone knew where some were. Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 If you have access to Service Select, there is an Applied Winch Tower in Objects - Ent Stage. Also, visit the Marionette forum. I have a recollection of someone posting a winch tower marionette object. 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 All I could find was this similar but not beefy enough for what we use. Any ideas of where it was I looked through everything I could see. Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 I would if I knew how and had one with me to measure, however I don't have one with me nor the skills to competently do that in Vectorworks Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 isn't there something similar accessible using the staging tools? Paging Andy Dunning... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted July 19, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 19, 2022 The Stage Lift tool in the Rigging toolset has a crank lift that is similar and as others have mentioned above there is a crank tower from Applied Technologies in the Premium content in the Objects - Ent Stage Folder, a screenshot of that symbol is in this message. 1 Quote Link to comment
Endre Torkildsen Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Had the same issue, was looking for a VMB tower some time last year. Ended up having the drawings from our supplier and modelled it my self, and added some Marionette magic as well. Screen Recording 2021-12-31 at 21.32.47.mov Quote Link to comment
