  1. The Bar-Fly allows the transfer of information from CAD designed hanging plots to the flying bars themselves. Utilising CAD information from current and forthcoming shows on the Bar-Flys aids the planning of fit ups and get outs. By colour coding and identifying what a bar will be used for production time can be used more effectively, often avoiding bars being needlessly flown in and out A unique collaboration between Le Mark and RSAMD TechWorks, the Bar-Fly can be customised and printed to operate in a variety of applications.

  2. From CAD to Stage - Bar-Flys in Action As part of the ABTT CAD Standard a Hang Plot Block is created for a venue. This contains information such as Bar Number, Location, SWL, what is to be flown and its weight

  3. From CAD to Stage - Bar-Flys in Action As the show is developed more information is added. Each type of information is colour coded according to the type of item to be flown. Again these Layers and colours form part of the Standard

  4. From CAD to Stage - Bar-Flys in Action The information contained in the drawing can now be extracted from the CAD program into a suitable spreadsheet/database programme

  5. From CAD to Stage - Bar-Flys in Action Once worked upon in the spreadsheet or database programme, a Hanging Plot is produced. This information is then transferred to the Bar-Flys for use in the venue

  6. From CAD to Stage - Bar-Flys in Action The Bar-Flys are completed and hung on the bars The information on them will help speed up rigging and forward planning as well as deal with many current Health and Safety Regulation issues.

  7. Winner ABTT Widget of the Year 2004 The Bar-Flys were commended to the award judges as an invaluable aid to the integration of design, production and practice in rigging for theatre. The Bar-Fly is a unique collaboration between Le Mark and RSAMD TechWorks, the commercial arm of the RSAMD’s Department of Technical and Production Arts, based in Glasgow
