Inserting bridles

The Insert Bridle tool places a bridle object in the drawing. Bridle legs can be inserted on house rigging points and mother grids, and on structural members if this option is enabled when setting the Bridle preferences. Before a bridle is inserted, make sure the necessary rigging points are present in the drawing.
