Rigging Seminar - Curtain Systems

[17:53] ModelBuilder: HI Dave
[17:53] eProf: hi
[17:53] eProf: 'sup?
[17:54] ModelBuilder: For the roll drop...The rope is attached to a sheave on the stage floor right?
[17:54] ModelBuilder: My model is having a problem because everytime I pull the rope, instead of coiling there's slack
[17:54] eProf: slack how?
[17:54] eProf: and where?
[17:55] ModelBuilder: it doesn't coil back to the sheave on the stage floor
[17:55] ModelBuilder: cant I just have the rope be tied to the stage floor?
[17:55] eProf: well
[17:55] eProf: it works two ways
[17:56] eProf: one with many wraps on the drum
[17:56] eProf: and no sheave at the floor
[17:56] eProf: just a length of line
[17:56] eProf: or
[17:56] eProf: with two or three wraps on the drum
[17:56] eProf: and then a sheave on the floor to make a closed loop
[17:58] ModelBuilder: so for the second option u were talking about, it has one rope that forms a loop so you actually see two lines where you pull on it, one that moves up and one that moves down
[17:58] eProf: yes
[17:59] ModelBuilder: for this model project do u have any specifications on which you want?
[18:00] eProf: nope
[18:00] eProf: up to you
[18:14] ModelBuilder: hmmm..
[18:14] ModelBuilder: ok thank youuuuuuu..
[18:14] eProf: np
