Rigging/Braceworks |
The Truss tool and the Magnet tool share the same position in the Rigging/Braceworks tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Subsets list and select the desired tool.
The Truss tool places a section of truss on the drawing. Depending on the resource selected, the truss may be a straight, curved (or circular), hinge, or corner element.
You can place one truss at a time, or place multiple straight trusses, to create a truss line. Trusses can be inserted horizontally, vertically, or at a custom hanging angle. In Auto Connect mode, the trusses connect to existing trusses, forming a system. When Auto Connect is disabled, the trusses do not connect to existing systems.
Use the Data Tag tool to add a label to the truss; see Gegevenslabels toevoegen.
