Vectorworks Spotlight: New in Version 2008: Objects

In Vectorworks Spotlight 2008, you have more options than ever. You'll find improved lighting options and two-way worksheets. Not to mention new lighting and scenic symbol libraries.

Two-way Spotlight Worksheets
Because all worksheets are now dynamic, your workflow won't be interrupted by having to run a separate command to update them. We provide you with sample database worksheets to get you started .

Improved Non-rotating Label Legends
Non-rotating label legends now allow you to easily move individual labels using a control point at the centre of the label.

Improved Scaling of Label Legends
You won't need as many label legend definitions with Vectorworks Spotlight 2008. Improvements to label legends mean that a single legend type can be successfully used with more types of instrument symbols, because labels are placed relative to the instrument size.

Advanced Beam Geometry
Enhancements to the draw beam function give you improved visualization, with enhanced beam projection and support for elliptical light sources. Beams can now extend beyond the focus point, to the ground plane. The new advanced light parameters now make shutter cuts in wireframe and rendered lights possible in Vectorworks Spotlight 2008.

Furnishings & Scenic Symbols
An assortment of 47 interior furniture symbols from New World Graphics, Inc. includes chairs, sofas, tables, file cabinets, desk, lockers, and lighting.

Advanced Light Source for Lighting Instruments
Now you can control the light source in a lighting instrument and specify a light distribution file, as well as control the instrument with the Visualization palette.

Lighting Device Position Awareness
Now, when you move a lighting device, the instrument position name is automatically updated. Lighting objects now adjust when you move the lighting position or change the height. You no longer have to worry about updating lights when either a light or a light position is moved.
