Vectorworks Spotlight 2010 Getting Started Guide
If you have multiple boom positions, you must run Plot and Model View for each boom, or create the booms on Layer separate from
your horizontal hanging positions.
If you include your horizontal positions or have nothing selected when you run the Create Plot and Model Command, all or none of your
positions will become vertical positions.
Denition layers are created at the same scale as the original layer. Objects are placed at the same position as they were originally
drawn. When Viewing the Model or the Plot Layer be sure to turn off all the Denition Layers.
On the Model Layer you can rotate and position the booms so that they will appear correctly in sections and elevations using the 3D
Selection Tool in the Basic Toolset or use Modify>Rotate>Rotate 3D.
In your Model Layer, select each boom (individually) with the 3D Selection Tool, switch to the Top/Plan View (the 3D Selection Tool
automatically switches you from the Top/Plan to the Top 3D only view) and rotate the booms so they face the stage. You can also set
your view from the View Bar and use the 2D rotate tool to rotate the DLVP.
If I create each position manually I will create another Denition Layer and DVLP that contains all the other geometry (It just won’t
rotate) that way all I have on my plot and model layer are DLVPs.
If you view your plot layer and your model layer you are going to see the DLVP on the Plot Layer and the DVLP on the Model Layer.
Use the visibilities options in the Navigation Palette to make your choices.
When we create Viewports to present the drawings, you will
Make a Top/Plan Viewport of the Plot Layer, with other appropriate layers visible.
•
Cut Section Viewports of the Model Layer using • View>Unied View and with other layers visible as required/desired.
Use the Model View, Camera Tool, Unied View and other layers to render and visualize the design and/or specic cues.
•
In the annotations space of your Plot Viewport, you will want to add a 2D symbol indicating boom placement. The 3D View of •
the instruments shows the 3D Detail and you will want the 2D Symbol for graphic clarity.
As always, some of this information jumps ahead. Everything will be claried. .
The Create Plot and Model Command disassociates from Focus Point Objects and shutter cuts, so those associations need to be dealt
with again manually for accuracy in rendering.
