Announcing the Source Four Savvy Section for Vectorworks

[jbenghiat]

I'm pleased to announce the release of my latest Vectorworks plug-in, the Source Four Savvy Section. I found I was spending too much time adding Source Four and Source For PAR symbols to my 2D sections. I was always editing, ungrouping, rotating, and flipping, swapping C-clamps for tees, changing barrel types, drawing top hats, etc. Either that, or I would just settle for the slightly off version I had.

 

My solution — the Source Four Savvy Section. A single plug-in object with all of the following options:

 

• Set any yoke angle, tilt angle, and flip.
  
• Switch between front or side views.
  
• Symbols have attributes set by class, with three levels of detail., so they always look the way you want them.
  
• Show C-clamp or tee, with or without a standard 1.5” pipe.
  
• Show short yoked.
  
• Switch between Standard, 90-deg, 70-deg, 14-deg, 10-deg, and 5-deg barrel types.
  
• Add a top hat, half hat, color extender, or scroller of any standard size.
  
• Dimensionally accurate fixtures, components, and accessories based on manufacturer drawings
  

 

The Source Four Savvy Section works with Vectorworks 12 through 2010. To learn more, visit http://www.benghiatlighting.com/software/s...r-savvy-section. To see a short video of the Savvy Section in action, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=EOHFw...Rc&vq=hd720.
