Light Plot Deconstructed, Fourth Edition Now Available from Gregg HillmarNemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. has released an updated training guide for users of Vectorworks software: Light Plot Deconstructed for Vectorworks Spotlight, Fourth Edition. The book was written by Gregg Hillmar, a veteran scenic and lighting designer whose work has been seen at hundreds of theatre, dance, and opera productions, as well as galleries, exhibits, convention booths, and stages across the country. The guide reflects Hillmar's drafting style and functions as a companion handbook to the software to help readers draft lighting plots more easily. In an easy-to-follow, insightful manner, Hillmar takes readers on a journey through the methods and techniques he uses to develop engaging plots. From discussions on choosing palettes, workspaces, grids and layers, to uncovering the basics of how to import files, save views and place instrumentation, the guide is an essential resource to designers looking to take advantages of everything the Vectorworks Spotlight program has to offer. "The new edition of Light Plot Deconstructed highlights some of the new features in Vectorworks 2012 that improve the lighting designer's process of drafting the light plot," says Hillmar. "In addition, reader requests drove the expansion of several topics, including a new section on using viewports to create 'cardboards' and other specialized views useful to the theatrical electricians in realizing the plot in the theatre." Light Plot Deconstructed is written for professional designers, as well as designers in education (students, instructors, schools). It is intended for use with Vectorworks 2012 software and is most applicable for Vectorworks Spotlight and Designer users.
