LXSeries Lighting Software

Hey! long time lurker first time poster!

Trying to use the booms from the edit>insert component>booms>sl boom 1. how do I have the beam originate from the boom base symbol's x and y coordinate? I vaguely remember making this work ages ago, but have been banging my head against the wall for hours.

You use the position's 3D mapping. In this case the position is the vertical line of the boom. Select that position line. Go to the Inspector's Position tab. From the menu that pops up when you click on the Map Points popup button, select "Map to Vertical at Next Click". Then click on the boom location (where the pipe stands vertically on the plan view plot).

You're the best! playing with it now!
