    Hi.

    When i had the training last year i remember that lighting fixtures could be added to lighting bars in such a way to be physically hanging from the bar. This meant that with capture having the tech info on the fixtures, Capture would be able to tell you the overall weight on the bar.

    How do you add the lights in this way again? and how do you get the readout on the bar?

    Thanks

    Pete

    This isn't really possible in the way you describe it. In order to get the weight of a bar and it's fixtures you will need to select them all together and use the '?' quick info button. You could group this items together in advance which makes it easier to select them together later. But you cannot get the weight of the truss piece and it's "hung" fixtures on a report, because there isn't a concept of "hanging" in Capture.

    Hi Peter,

    Sure the fixtures should light in the Student Edition as well. Perhaps it's a graphics card driver issue?
