What others are saying
When I started using Vectorworks some 16 years ago I was fortunate to come across the Field Template SoftSymbol range not long after. They are the absolute benchmark for high quality, detailed and most of all clearly drawn symbols. They are the first ones I reach for when starting a new design and as a side by side comparison with the stock supplied VW symbols…well there is no comparison.

Some [lighting designers] have always drawn their own symbols. If that’s the path you choose, that’s fine. For everyone else, there’s Steve Shelley and his SoftSymbols™. The range of products covered is remarkable. The price, given the amount of work that must be involved, remarkably low. Which is perhaps why they’re so widely used, particularly by lighting designers and their associates in America - a country that really does care about beautiful light plots. If you do too, check them out: this is a working classic, still in use daily...

What makes SoftSymbols so useful is that they are thoroughly researched, well made and above all, stick to some rigorous drafting standards that are maintained across the whole catalog.

Soft Symbols are my Vectorworks symbol library of choice, and have been since my tenure as Hubbard Street’s Lighting Director. Steve has created a product that is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and well-organized. It looks great at any scale, is appropriate for every type of lighting gig, and could only have come from someone with his level of experience and attention to detail. It is an invaluable resource to me and will continue to be my go to library for the foreseeable future.

SoftSymbols are the symbol library of choice for the Lincoln Center Festival, and for all my other professional activities. They are cleanly built, graphically sophisticated, and the libraries are by far the most complete. There’s no other choice as far as I’m concerned.

I did the Lab Rep Plot revisions with SoftSymbols. LOVE IT! So does the crew and the union House Elec. We also think the twenty-or-so production teams coming into the Lab this spring (who’ll receive print copies of this drawing) will love it too. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have SoftSymbols™ - I trust my layouts again, since your symbols are the same size as the objects they represent (DUH!), and my drawings look more like my drawings again. Woo hoo!

Strand Lighting 4.0 Pack

The Strand Lighting 4.0 Pack is a power upgrade to the Strand product line, more than doubling the size of the object library. It introduces new LED light engine fixtures for both stage and studio lighting, and includes significant additional productss for Ellipsoidals, Fresnels, and Cyc light fixtures.

The Strand Lighting 4.0 Object Library utilizes four new LED Light Engines in several product lines:

The Strand Acclaim product line couples the four-color Profile Light Engine to an diverse series of lens tubes in the Acclaim series of Profiles, along with lenses and reflectors in the Acclaim LED Cyc, LED Fresnel, and LED Zoomspot.

The Strand LEKO LED Profiles utilize three different LED Color Engines: The Full Color, the Cold Tunable White, and the Warm Tunable White Light Engines are paired with a second set of Profile lens tubes to create an array of different-sized light beams. These three LED Light Engines also power the Cantata LED Fresnel seriess, while the Cold White and Full Color Light Engines provide punch for the LEKO LED Outdoor Profiles, lensed for a wide spectrum of beam widths.

The Aurora LED Strip 4 cell and 12 cell fixtures join the Coda LED six-color Cyc to provide a variety of light washes in diverse applications. joining the PLCYC! MKII, PLPROFILE4 MKII, and the entire SPX tungsten and LED Ellipsoidal product lines.

The Studio Lighting Folder starts with the Studio Panel MKII and the 150S and 300S lighting panels in two white color temperature color settings.. The product line also includes the 200F and 400F Fresnels as well.

And this impressive collection of LED lighting fixtures join proven performers ranging from LEKO LIte, Lekolite 2K, LekoLites, PLProfile 4, the SL and SPX series, all the way back to classics such as the Patt.23.

Tighten that Waistband: The new SoftTrim™ macros convert all applicable 3D components to Generic Solids, in order to reduce the overall size of every SoftSymbol resource in an effort to keep light plots compact.

3D components that hang, or sit on the floor: Symbol resources provide default 3D components that appear as fixtures hanging from a batten, or, with a FLR suffix - fixtures sitting on the stage.
