Document Summary
Instructions for using the film & stage libraries. Film & stage components are placed by dragging them from the component window and dropping them into your model. Each component has an axis origin that doubles as an insertion point. The insertion point is usually located at a corner of the component"s bottom surface or, in the case of circular components, at the center of the bottom surface. Lights, cameras, and other mountable equipment are built with insertion points at their base, making it easy to mount them to other components. Because they glue" to surfaces when placed in the file, these mountable items are easily attached to angled booms, stands, and arms. Components with rotating parts usually bare crosshairs to indicate pivot points. If no pivot point is specified, the center point of the nested component or circle should serve as the point of rotation.
