The Sling object in Capture 2026 does not require any additional tool. Simply drag and drop it into your design aligned with your truss or pipe and it will snap into position automatically.

To verify the placement, we recommend switching to a front or side view in Wireframe or Plot mode, where you can clearly see the correct position of the sling.

For more information, you can watch the Production Assist 1.14 – Deep Dive Session from the 13:26 Capture 2026 (new integration – preview) mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEyu7C9BKsI

can we attach 2 slings or split one sling to become a bridle ?
i tried inserting 2 slings symetrical to the same truss with simetrical angles  to form a bridle and it copied the weight identical  is that correct ?

The slings are two point - not bridles. I would not expected what you tried to work.

Does that mean the calculation of Load of every sling does only work with Export the Data to Production Assist?

I have a related question regarding the Capture 2026 / Production Assist integration.

How should custom models, especially line array speakers, be created in Capture so that Production Assist recognises them as suspended loads hanging from the rig?

Example:
I create or import a custom line array speaker model in Capture and place it below a truss, attached via a sling / hanging point. In Capture it looks visually correct, but in Production Assist the weight is not recognised as a load on the truss.

What is the correct workflow for this?

Specifically:

• Does the custom object need to be created as a specific object type?
• Where and how must the weight be entered?
• Does it need a dedicated rigging / suspension point?
• How does Production Assist know that the object is hanging from the truss and should be included in the structural calculation?
• Are custom library objects supported for this workflow, or only official library objects?

The goal is to use custom line array models in Capture and have their weight correctly transferred to Production Assist as a suspended load on the rig.

Thanks for clarifying.

Does it work when you group a report item with the correct weight to your imported line array model?

I already tried to build the line array in that direction.

Each line array cabinet is a separate imported model, so that every cabinet can be connected individually with point snappers. Each cabinet has its own report item with the correct weight.

The flying frame also has its own weight assigned and point snappers, so it can be connected either to a truss or to a hoist. In my current test case, the flying frame is connected directly to the truss.

That is why I assumed the weight logic should be present: each cabinet has a report item with weight, the flying frame has weight, and the elements are connected via point snappers.

However, Production Assist still does not seem to recognise the complete line array as a suspended load on the truss.

Is there a specific object type, report item setting, or connection method required so that PA interprets these custom models as structural loads?
