Elaborating on Aud J's comment, if you maintain a standard high trim for a standard or rep plot, once you have all the lights focused correctly, you can lay out a plastic tarp and lower the pipe to a convenient low trim working height--say 6'. Trace and label the outlines of the beams on the tarp. Mark the position of the fixture clamps on the pipe and reference points to locate the tarp on the stage floor. As long as you bring the pipe to its correct high and low trim, everything should be very close.
