What you want is referred to by Vectorworks as "Lit Fog"

Turn off "Draw Beam"

Right click on the Lighting Device and select "Edit Light..."

Turn the light on can check the Lit Fog option. (This options can also be set using the visualization palette.)

Now render in a Renderworks mode.

Lit fog will automatically create a Renderworks Background that you can edit to adjust the intensity of the fog.
