The below instructions outline how to make changes to a gantry for a structure you have already placed.
Edit a Gantry
Step 1: Click the 'Edit' button in the 'Structures' section of the Lineardraft toolbar
This will open the structure selection window.
Step 2: Click on the structure you want to edit and click 'Edit'
Alternatively, you can select your structure from the drop-down menu. Clicking 'Edit' will open the 'Edit Structure' window.
Step 3: Configure the gantry
You can change the gantry type from the drop-down, and change the length and height of the gantry using the up/down arrows as needed.
Top tip: To edit gantry length without affecting the RECOS/REFOS of one of your masts, edit the RECOS of the other mast and this will change the gantry length without moving the mast you wish to remain in-place. Override gantry must be 'linked' when you do this.
Step 4: Click 'Update Structure'
This will close the 'Edit Structure' window. Your changes will now be visible in 3D and Plan View
