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...

Rob Halliday

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™ Portman Lighting Library 3.9 for Vectorworks 2018 - 2019. Equipped with simplified Spotlight to Vision workflow.

A comprehensive presentation of the entire Portman Lighting product line. Eleven resources, including:

P1 Retro Lamp: Three resources, showing Top View [for groundnplans], and Front View Hanging & Front View [to display what the audience will see.]

P2 Hexaline: Eight resources, including five Top Views to indicate fixture placement with bases "interlocking", as well as a resource solely consisting of dashed lines; two Front Views, displaying what the audience will see - a regular fixture, or one elevated with the Distance Module, reflecting the interlocking bases, and allowing for the "honeycomb" look.

3D Components swivel to Focus Points: This file is a complete overhaul of the entire 3D object library. 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 aims rotates and aims towards an assigned Spotlight focus point.

Simplified Spotlight to Vision Workflow: Every resource is enhanced to allow for a streamlined export to the matching element in Vision.

Documentation: Comes with SoftMap© and SoftData© documents extracted directly from the resources.

This Object Library document is new, and distinctly separate from the SoftSymbols™ version 3 download as of September 5, 2007. This download is designed specifically for Vectorworks 2018 and 2019. This SoftSymbols purchase does NOT include any version of Vectorworks®.

To use these object library documents in Vw2019, open Vectorworks 2019 first, then open the Portman Vw2018 SoftSymbols object library.

Download = 5.8MG, expands to 8.7MG.

If you do not own Vectorworks 2018 or Vectorworks 2019, do **NOT** download this software package.
