“The new event-planning suite of commands is a brilliantly thought out workflow, making it
incredibly easy for someone to draw up an event—not
just in plan, but in 3D at the same time. If the rendered shots sell a job to a client,
then it’s paid for itself from day one.”

RenderworksPlug in Renderworks™ to create photorealistic renderings or choose an artistic rendering option to make your scenes look hand drawn. Renderworks is seamlessly integrated—you won’t waste time importing and exporting the model as the design changes.
Enhanced Layouts, Plans, and PlotsEasily create precision drawings. In addition to a suite of precision 2D drafting tools, you can access extensive libraries of furniture, sce-nic elements, architectural objects, audio objects, video objects, and lighting instruments and accessories
from leading manufacturers—just drag and drop into your projects. When finished, batch print drawing sets or export them as multi-page PDFs at full or reduced sizes.
Automated PaperworkStop counting items in your drawings. Automatic data tracking does the tedious work for you. Built-in paperwork functions allow you to quickly generate customized reports like schedules, inventory/rental lists, and channel and dimmer hookups, as well as magic sheets, color cut lists, and hanging cards. A change to one automatically updates the others, since the reports and drawings are linked.
Intuitive: Work the Way You Think
Out of the box, and out of the gate. Vectorworks Spotlight was designed to think like you do, so you’re up and running right away.
Easy-to-use Interface and Drafting ToolsDo what you like to do best— design. You won’t waste time getting up to speed because Vectorworks Spotlight’s simple, customizable interface and what-you-see-is-what-you-get display make it easier to learn and use than standard CAD applications. No matter what you’re switching from, Vectorworks Spotlight’s interface will be familiar. Vectorworks’ SmartCursor™ technology replaces manual drafting tools, so even inexperienced CAD users can make the switch easily.
Tailored for Your SuccessWork in tandem with the application. Vectorworks Spotlight is intuitive. In addition to designing with lines, arcs, and circles, you can draft productive-ly with intelligent object tools tailored for lighting and scenic construction. Everything is easy to edit and automatically displays in both 2D and 3D views. So, creating 3D mod-els of your 2D drawings is a snap.
