New Gradient...White-to-"None"

[gmm18]

I am trying to make a new gradient to use as an overlay for a rendered viewport. This would be a gradient with White on one end and "none", or "no-fill" on the other end.

The effect I am going for is a vignette overlay, so I can place a polygon with a radial gradient fill with "None" over the center of the rendered viewport, then it gradually changes to a solid white toward the outer edges so it fades away the border.

This image is an example of the kind of thing I am after. This example is a VWX drawing then tooled in Photoshop. I just want to be able to do a more simple effect, but right in Vectorworks.

I don't think you can wash to none in VW.

Piranesi would be the way to do something like that. Create the model in VW, export it to Piranesi then render it in Piranesi. Once you had the model in VW, producing a image like that would take 5 minutes in Piranesi.
