Nemetschek North America Announces VectorWorks Spotlight 12

Columbia, Maryland (October 12, 2005)? Nemetschek North America announced today that it has released VectorWorks Spotlight 12, complete with a variety of new features and substantial product improvements allowing users to work faster and smarter than ever before.

Robert Anderson, Vice President, Integrated Products, Nemetschek North America, states,? VectorWorks Spotlight 12 demonstrates our unwavering commitment to our users to simplify their workflow and to really make the program function more efficiently and intuitively for them.?

Some of the enhancements and new features found in Spotlight 12 include the new 3D human figure, which allows drawings to be populated with more realistic human figures to use as scale references to round out drawings. Light objects no longer have to be manually placed with a lighting instrument, thanks to the new integrated light source. Spotlight users will also like the support for ESP Vision?. This allows users to export their models for real time simulation and designers to previsualize the show, because ESP Vision works with any lighting console. An improved instrument editing interface allows you to double- click to edit lighting instruments, allowing the user easy access to the instrument through a streamlined interface. The interface includes the ability to assign label legends, pick gobos, and even the ability to turn lights on. Finally, RenderWorks offers VectorWorks Spotlight 12 users the option to show colored light beams in 3D with volumetric lighting, which has been a popular demand among users.

"It's hard to improve VectorWorks Spotlight time and again, but the folks at Nemetschek have come up with a series of features that really make my everyday workflow even faster and easier,? says veteran VectorWorks user, Frank Brault, founder, vectorexpress.com. ?With its added support for ESP, VectorWorks Spotlight brings moving light visualization capabilities to the industry standard light plot application."

You could have waited for the bugs to get out enough for it to be functional before you sold it to me...
