Vectorworks Spotlight 2010 continues to be the gold standard in entertainment design. Added are new functionality for event planning, new video screen objects, and usability changes that make your work feel easy. Shine on.
New Event Planning Suite
Introducing a new event-planning suite! This complete set of automated tools and menu commands makes it a breeze to create rooms for events ranging from banquets and corporate presentations to large-scale shows and exhibits—and everything in between. Now you can easily create the room, stage, steps, lectern, video screens, and seating. Plus, you can create standard views to show your client, and generate reports for the total number of tables and chairs in the room. They’ve made event planning a lot less painful.
New Video Screen Objects
Use these first-class tools to add and visualize television screens, video projectors, video screens, and edge-blended projection screens. Each produces intelligent objects that can display images in rendered views (Renderworks required), indicate the optimum viewing area, and display custom values and stand configurations. Adding video screen and projector elements to your design just got a whole lot easier.
New Seating Layout Capabilities
Now you can offset alternate rows of seating and calculate row and seat spacing based on the chosen symbol. Plus, when you’re creating worksheets of seating layouts with tables, the command will show and count nested symbols like tables and chairs separately.
Double-Click Insertion
With a double click on your symbol resource, you can insert lighting instruments and accessories. Click—Click!
Improved Lighting Device Color Support
Now you can enjoy greater flexibility when specifying color for your lighting devices. Use RGB or hex values, or manufacturer names or abbreviations.
New Lighting Device Types
Added are Device, Practical, SFX, Power, and Other to the list of the lighting device types.
Create Universal Spotlight Object Libraries
