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!

Description

The latest SoftSymbols™ Altman Striplight 3.6 Upgrade for Vectorworks 2008-2010.

A major overhaul and upgrade for the entire Altman Striplight product lines.

The Altman Striplight 3.6 Pack is a complete overhaul and upgrade for the multiple Altman striplight product lines, using Linzey Striplight Construction Protocol® to make them more functional.

All of the striplights shown in the document are Vectorworks multi-circuit Lighting Devices. When inserted into a drawing, each striplight will consist of multiple lighting devices, but appear and move as a single unit.

Functional Upgrade: The object library contains reconstructed upgrades to the multiple Altman striplight product lines, including the Ground Cyc, Sky Cyc, Econo Cyc, and Focus Cyc series of striplights. It includes updates to the Microstrip, Zipstrip, R40, PAR 56, and PAR 64 striplight series. It also includes updates to the legacy Borderlight and Disappearing Footlight series.

3D Components remain static: This file is a complete overhaul of the entire 3D object library, but the 3D components do not possess Vw2011 Focus Functionality®. In any 3D view, the lighting device will remain static, and not aim towards an assigned Spotlight focus point.

Using these symbols: In a Vw2008-2010 document, shift-select [or marquee-select] a complete striplight, copy, and paste each multi-circuit lighting device as needed into the new drawing. Inserting a COMBO* resource from the Resource Browser into the drawing using the Spotlight Instrument Insersion Tool will result in a single Lighting Device.

Comes with SoftMap© and SoftData© documentation extracted directly from the resources.

These Object Library documents are separate upgrades from the SoftSymbols™ version 3.5 download as of November 16, 2013. This download is designed specifically for Vectorworks 2008, 2009, or 2010. This SoftSymbols purchase does NOT include any version of Vectorworks®.

Download = 2.3MG, expands to 5.8MG.

To use these documents in Vw2009 or 2010, open your version of Vectorworks first, then open each SoftSymbols object library.
