Building truss rigs and DJ booths
You can build complete rigs from truss: goalpost, double goalpost, truss arch, box, U shape, roof over the dance floor, circle and crank stands. For the DJ booth you pick one of many builds, from a scrim facade to an LED booth, many of them with a TV at the front. The sizes come from real products.

Step by step
- In “Truss & stands”, click a rig, e.g. “Truss box (cube)” or “Truss circle”. Box and U shape land at the booth, circle and roof over the dance floor.
- On the right under “Build” you set:
- “Shape”: goalpost, truss arch, box, U shape, roof, circle or curved (top view),
- “Center leg” for the goalpost: “none” or “with (double goalpost)” for a third leg in the middle,
- “Arch top” for the truss arch: “angled (5 sides)” or “round”,
- “Depth” for box, U shape, roof and curved truss,
- “Profile” (duo, trio, quadro), “Size” (22, 29 or 40 cm) and “Color” (silver, black, white),
- “Supports” (not for the truss arch): truss towers or crank stands, for the circle “4 truss towers” or “flown (chain hoists)”,
- “Tower scrims”: white or black scrim.
- Under “Size and position” you set height, width (“Diameter” for the circle) and rotation.
- Hang your fixtures on it: drag them onto the rig in 3D, they snap anywhere along it. Or use “+ Add fixtures …” under “Fixtures on it” to pick several – they spread evenly all around.
- For the booth, click a build in “DJ booths”. Your booth changes, the fixtures on it stay. For a second booth, drag the block into the 3D view.
- Click the booth. Under “Build”, change the build with “Model” and set the options that model has:
- “Scrim” (white or black) for the compact booth, DJ booth with top shelf, folding booth with TV column, panel facade, curved booth and truss booth,
- “Frame color” for the compact booth, DJ booth with top shelf, folding booth with TV column, panel facade, curved booth and ULTIMAX TrussBooth, “Truss color” for the truss booth,
- “Side panels” (90°, 45° or none) for the panel facade,
- “TV at the front” (none or a size that fits the booth) for the compact booth, DJ booth with top shelf, folding booth with TV column, truss booth, Equinox Event Booth, ULTIMAX TrussBooth and Humpter B3, more on this below,
- for the Humpter B3 also “Variant” (B3 at 93 cm or B3-H at 110 cm), “Side modules” (B3 PLUS, 296 cm wide) and “Top front panel”,
- “Color” for the Humpter and Bunn Gear booths, for the Humpter MOVE “Black (BL)” or “Wood (WD)”,
- “Cover” and “Tabletop facade” for the DJ table with cover,
- “LED image” (“Gradient”, “color of the fixtures inside”, “Live like a screen” or “off”) and “Sides” (“LED (270°)” or black) for the LED booth,
- “Front” (black, white, wood or “Acrylic light front”) for the DJ furniture.
