Spot00005.pngConcept: Rigging objects

Rigging objects are structural objects that can serve as intelligent hanging points for lighting instruments, stage equipment, and other loads. Rigging objects should be placed on the light plot before the load objects are added. Once the event space has been modeled, with the stage and the rigging defined, the file can be used as a template for future light plots in that space (see Sjablonen creëren).

Rigging objects include:

        Lighting pipes

        Lighting pipe ladders

        Straight trusses

        Curved trusses

        Trusses inserted with the Insert Truss tool

Rigging objects have the following capabilities:

        Rotation about all three axes by:

        Objecten roteren with the Rotate tool and Rotate commands

        Adjusting the Roll, Hanging Angle, and Rotation parameters on the Object Info palette

        Direct association with load objects

        Participation in structural calculations (Braceworks required)

        Support for interactive schematic views

Like rigging objects, hanging positions serve as load attachment points; see Concept: Hanging positions. While hanging positions do not support Roll or Hanging Angle adjustments, or directly participate in Braceworks calculations, the rigging geometry within a hanging position has these capabilities. See Braceworks for rigging designers and Editing hanging position geometry for more information.
