Lighting design

Vectorworks Spotlight provides the lighting designer with all the tools necessary to plan and create a light plot and its associated paperwork. Lighting devices and other loads can attach to hanging positions and rigging objects. Rigging objects include trusses, lighting pipes, lighting pipe ladders, and the rigging geometry within hanging position objects. See Lighting for more information about lighting within a larger event design workflow.
