Creating and selecting load sets

You can create saved sets of load properties for easy selection when placing loads with the Rigging Load tool.

The load data sets are saved in an .xml file located in the Plug-ins\VW_Spotlight\Data\Braceworks\PresetPointLoads folder in your user folder. This file can be shared with other users.

1. Click the tool, and then click Point Load or Distributed Load mode, depending on whether the load set is for a point load or distributed load (each type of load contains separate data sets).
