Portman Lighting 3.9 Pack
The complete introduction to all Portman Lighting products, as of Spring 2018.
The Portman Lighting 3.9 Pack introduces the complete Portman product line to SoftSymbols™. Portman instruments are eye candy, designed to be viewed from the audience. The resources in the Portman Lighting 3.9 Object Library are designed to complement this aspect of the fixtures; scaled resources are drawn in Top View, so they can be placed in a groundplan, and Front View, so their arrangement can be displayed and show the fixtures visual impact to the audience.
The Portman Lighting 3.9 Object Library includes eleven new resources, representing all current Portman devices. The library starts with three resources showing different views of the P1 Retro Lamp; Top View, Front View Hanging, and Front View Overhung. The library also includes the full line of P2 Hexaline fixtures, in both Top View and Front View; Top View, with the "ears" of the base facing Downstage or Upstage; Top View, with the Distance Module raising the elevation of the lights; and Front View, with and without the Distance Module, to show the "interlocking" of two adjacent lighting devices.
The Portman Lighting 3.9 Object Library
Portman Lighting 3.9 Pack also includes
| SoftMap™: | A pdf map matching each object library. The pdf can be printed out to provide a hard-copy reference for all the symbols, regardless of printer. |
| SoftData™: | The latest information, extracted directly from the symbols, and triple-checked using the SoftGauntlet® System. The data is translated into metric units as well—all symbols and resources can convert to metric scale, utilizing Sam Jones' Autoplot for Spotlight macros. |
• The Portman Lighting 3.9 Legacy Pack is designed in the Vectorworks 2008, 2009, and 2010 environments. The 3D components are not attached to a parts record—they don’t move, and will not aim to a Spotlight focus point.
• The Portman Lighting 3.9 Enhanced Vw2011-Vw2015 Pack is designed in the Vectorworks 2011-2015 environments. All applicable 3D components possess Vw2011 Focus Functionality®. That means the 3D components are attached to the parts record; in any 3D view, the lighting device automatically rotates and aims towards an assigned Spotlight focus point.
• The Portman Lighting 3.9 Enhanced Vw2016 Pack is designed in the Vectorworks 2016 environment. All applicable 3D components retain Vw2011 Focus Functionality®. The object library is segmented, so that the new Spotlight Instrument Tool can reveal the Pop-up Thumbnail Resource Window.
• The Portman Lighting 3.9 Enhanced Vw2017 Pack is designed in the Vectorworks 2017 environment. All applicable 3D components retain Vw2011 Focus Functionality®. The object library is recombined, allowing the new Resource Manager to display more complete resource names, while the Spotlight Instrument Tool still reveals the Pop-up Thumbnail Resource Window.
• The Portman Lighting 3.9 Enhanced Vw2018-Vw2019 Pack is designed in the Vectorworks 2018 environment. All resources retain Vw2011 Focus Functionality® within the Vw2017 environment. On top of that, special data is added to each resource, streamlining the workflow from Spotlight to Vision.
