Create the Hangers
There are two ways of creating a set of Hangers along the selected profile:
By Spacings
-
Setting a value in the Spacings and Height input boxes and then selecting Create Hangers will create a set of Hangers (represented by dashed lines) from the start to the end of the selected profile, with gaps between them the same size as the defined Spacing.
If no value for Spacing is provided, it will default to a value of 500mm.
By Intersections
-
Checking the At Intersections check box and entering a value into the Height input box will create a set of Hangers of the defined height, at the points on the selected profile, where it intersects with other lines/profiles on the Ceiling Grid.
