    I'm looking for tips on how to manage positioning fixtures on truss.

    Currently i want to evenly spread 8 fixtures around a 4m circle of box truss. I want the fixtures to be on the outer/front chord facing forward (the circle is vertical, facing forward at the audience.

    Any tips on how to select preferred chord, whether fixture is hanging straight out or spun 90° and how to make them hang evenly around circular truss if possible.

    Cheers for any help.

    Hi,

    I would start with placing one fixture just outside the circle truss and orient it so that the display is roughly in the right direction relative the fixtures position and the nearest location on the truss. Then I would place the rotation anchor in the center of the truss and use the clone tool with an angle of 360 / 8. This would give you eight fixtures in an arrangement similar to the truss although not on it. Then snap each fixture individuall to the truss. This will potentially ruin some "exactness", so you may want to group stretch / position the eight fixtures neatly close to the truss before you snap them individually.
