atom.design Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Is there a database of bare bone venue drawings in any format (.vwx, dwg, etc)? Looking for something like the Chicago theater to build a pre viz suite with. I've done a few festival builds using the pre built SAM stages but would love to build a few rigs to match different venue sizes. Quote Link to comment

Kevin Allen Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The NYC UG is looking to establish this type of sharing. FWIW, I don't think VWX can officially sanction this kind of sharing, there are likely liability issues. 1 Quote Link to comment

For previz I think it would ideal, perhaps venues could exist in MVR files. In terms of DWG's I agree with @Kevin Allen Quote Link to comment

I’ve been using (and supporting) Designsmith for a while. It’s definitely come in handy before. One issue I have encountered with it- which is a risk with this sort of thing in general - is keeping things up to date. I did some studies for a client in a ballroom based on a file from designsmith (it was a smaller hotel that wasn’t able to provide real drawings) and when they did a site survey it was discovered that the hotel had been renovated and some doors, etc had been moved as with any drawing exchange- buyer beware! 1 Quote Link to comment
sinanbader Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There is no library but if you will work with a venue in Turkey just give me a DM and I'll patch you to the right people. Quote Link to comment
