SoftSymbols™ Sampler
Click below to download a savory sampler of SoftSymbols™ synergy to whet your drafting appetite. With luck, it will make you ~crave~ for the entire SoftSymbols™ package.
The SoftSymbols Sampler is a VectorWorks® version 2011 document compressed into a zip file. Once extracted, it will function on either Windows or Mac platforms. It will automatically update when opened in a Vectorworks version more recent than 2010.
A version of Vectorworks 2011 [or more recent] is required in order to view this sampler - and this download does **not** include a copy of Vectorworks.
If you don't own a copy of Vectorworks, however, all is not lost. You can download Nemetschek's nifty utility VectorWorks® Viewer. It allows you to look at VectorWorks® documents without having the application installed on your hard drive.
Windows platforms may require WinZip or 7-Zip to extract the file.
SoftMaps©
Download and print this 8.5” x 11” letter-sized page as an off-line reference [or as a source of amazement or adulation!]. You can also get this full 24” x 36” poster if you purchase the complete SoftSymbols package.
Or download all 7 SoftMaps© as one document! [Actual size: 7—8.5” x 11” pages.]
Field Template™ Poster
The latest compilation of plastic profundity from the Mouse of Shelley! [24” x 36”]; the pdf file displaying the latest Field Template™ Collection.
[Or, at least the latest until the Beam Spread Stencil got released last year.]
This poster was originally created for Field Template™ dealers. We printed up a bunch of them to hand out to folks at the USITT convention. Problem was, no one had any drafting tubes, and no one wanted to fold this sacred drafting. On the last day of the convention, we offered to give them away at the final Limelight raffle—and Yikes! Welcome to SeaWorld! Jean barely got her arm back!
So download and print this poster as an off-line reference [or as a source of adoration!]. Be forewarned—the downloaded file is almost 12 megs! Depending on your download speed, you might want to get a cup of coffee!
Field Template™ USITT Poster
Here's the pdf file displaying the full contents of the SoftSymbols USITT object library.
This poster, and all of the resources, are based off the document Shelley created as part of the USITT RP-2 Theatre Lighting Design Graphic Standard, adopted in 2007. In addition to the 2D components shown on this document, Shelley's USITT object library also includes 3D components and data for each symbol, along with pdf's of all the data.
Download and print this 18" x 24" pdf poster as an off-line reference [or as a source of adoration!] You'll also receive this poster as part of the purchased USITT Pack.
SoftSymbols™ List
Here's the pdf file displaying the full list of symbols in the SoftSymbols™ Version 3 Object Libraries.
Every one of these symbol names is exported directly from SoftSymbols™ Version 3. This page shows, for example, the symbols included in the "Drafting Elements" and "Accessories" Object Libraries. Use this free downloadable list to determine if the symbol you seek is included in the current version of SoftSymbols™.
Download this free 26-page document as an off-line reference [or print it as a hard-copy source of incredulity!].
