Lighting Symbols

[DAZZER]

Hi! I am new to the forum and Vectorworks and need an advice.

Could someone tell where can I find those beautiful lighting symbols? I have this old plot only in jpg but now I have to draw it in vector.

Thanks!

@MrTemplateare these yours?

I cannot take credit for these symbols. that said, i think the line weight needs help and there are too many details. so what do i know.

@DAZZERHave you explored Vectorworks University and the videos that show you how to draw and create your own lighting symbols? It is a great resource and can allow you to customize the existing VW symbols to your liking or make your own from scratch.

Hi Justin;

 

Could you provide a link or two to the videos you speak of? i just tried [yet again] to plow through the Vectorworks University web site [https://university.vectorworks.net/]. and i find it pretty confusing. Presumably the "Industry" is Entertainment, but the videos you refer to - are they part of "skills", "webinars", "workflows", "classes", or what? i'd be thrilled to take a look, i'll wager many of my techniques are way out of date? Let me know specific links or courses i could review? thanks in advance, Steve

They are in the coffee breaks section. Here is a link to the lighting device video.

Hi Justin; thanks for the link. sadly, it brought up many more questions than answers on my part. are there any other videos regarding spotlight symbol construction? maybe they'll answer my numerous questions?
