The latest SoftSymbols™ ETC 4.1 Combo Pack for Vw2018.
What's new in version 4.1? The SoftSymbols 4.1 verion of the ETC Object Libraries includes significant equipment additions and upgrades to the SoftSymbols ETC LED Object Library, coupled with major overhauls to the SoftSymbol ETC Tungsten and ETC Selator Striplight Object Libraries. All three libraries have been certified up-to-date and complete, containing all devices, LED engines [arrays.] and wattages as of January 2024. Collectively, these libraries allow SoftSymbols to maintain its standing as the gold standard for Vectorworks lighting resources.
Slim and Trim: All three libraries have been purged and all relevant 3D components have been converted to generic solids in an effort to minimize resource bloat and keep SoftSymbols as sleek and fast as possible.
New in the ETC Tungsten and Selator Striplght Object Libraries: The ETC Tungsten Object Library has been overhauled and simplified to increase ease attaching Label Legends. The ETC Selador Striplight Object Library has been redefined to better adhere to UTF-8 nomenclature, and been updated with 3D beam and field angle information for every product line.
New in the ETC LED Object Library: Version 4.1 adds the new ColorSource Spot V and the ColorSource Spot VXT ip65 product lines. Each product line includes resources with all the standard barrels, zooms, and EDLT tubes. Each product line provides two versions of each spot device; one indicating beam spread with slashes or lines in the lens, and a second with numeric text to indicate the same information.Other new fixtures: The fos/4 F10 Lustr8, and fos/4 F10 HDR refources.
Scrutinized for accurate lengths and ease of construction: All LED spot cut sheets have been re-scrutinized and 2D components have been redrawn to accurately reflect the overall as-built length of spot bodies and lens tubes for the Source Four-Series 3 XDLT, HDR and Lustr spot fixtures. The entire Linear product line has also been rebuilt to simplify attaching Label Legends and visually allowing segretated data to be displayed for each cell. This reconstruction has been applied to every CourSource Linear 1, Linear 2, and Linear 4 lighting device.
Wrap-up: This upgrade for the entire ETC LED product line has resulted in over 90 updated and improved resources, as well as an addition of over 65 new resources, increasing the total number of fixtures in the library to over 840 resources, which also includes:
Source Four LED Series 3 Fixture Lines: The complete Source Four Series 3 fixture line, equipped with either Lustr HDR or X8 LED light engines, powering all lens choices.

This product line package is replicated as the WLZ product line; same lenses, same three confiturations of canopy, hung from batten, or handing from track.
fos/4 Fresnels and Panels: The complete fos/4 product range, equipped with the Lustr X8 and Daylight HDR LED arrays; small, medium and large Panels, as well as the fos/4 Fresnels, featuring battery pack inputs.

3D capabilities: All applicable symbols have the Vw2011 Parts Record--in any 3D view, the lighting device automatically rotates towards an assigned Spotlight focus point. All 3D components are Generic Solids.
