Setting up truss, stands and DJ booth
Truss, stands, totems and the DJ booth hold your fixtures. You put them on stage with a click or by dragging, and adjust height, length and rotation.
Step by step
- Click a building block, e.g. “Tripod”. It lands in a free spot near the booth. Or drag it straight to the right place in the 3D view.
- Grab the object and drag it into place. It snaps to the center line of the booth.
- Under “Size and position” on the right you set:
- “Height” with the slider (“Tube bottom edge” for the tube stand, “Total height” for the column speaker),
- “Length” for the truss, or “Width” for T-bar and booth,
- “Rotation” with the slider or the buttons ↺ 90°, ↺ 15°, 0°, ↻ 15°, ↻ 90°.
- Put the fixtures on it (see Putting fixtures on truss and stands).
- To delete: “Remove object” or ⌫ / Delete. Mounted fixtures go to the floor.
