Hanging Tray Supports

The Center Hung and Trapeze tray supports are designed as a hanging support which connect to a structure overhead. With these supports, the Properties dialog provides options to define the parameters of the support bar and the hanging rods as shown below with the Trapeze support:

In the dialog, the definable fields under the Parameters section determine the dimensions of the support.
SettingDescription
Rod Length Defines the length of the rods used for either the Trapeze or Center hung supports.
Rod Diameter Defines the rod diameter.
Rod Extension Defines the distance beyond the support frame the rod(s) will extend when placing either Trapeze or Center hung supports.
Rod Inset For Trapeze supports, defines the distance from the end of the support frame the rod is inset.
Spacing This defines the space in between supports along the length of the selected tray. If the value is 0, then a single support is placed. If a value is defined here, for example 48", then a support will be placed every 48" along the length of the tray.
Once you have defined the parameters, click OK to determine the location along the selected tray(s) to place the support.
