Replacing trusses

Inventory restrictions can sometimes cause the designer to either replace portions of a truss line with different sizes of the same truss line, or to replace an entire truss line with a different truss type. Keeping an inventory of the truss lengths and lines is crucial for designing and calculating a truss system that closely matches the reality of the venue, and allows some replacements to occur automatically when needed.

Only straight Truss objects (inserted with the Truss tool) can be replaced by these methods. Corner, straight truss (from the Straight Truss tool), circular, hinge, or curved trusses must be manually replaced.
