Adding Lighting InstrumentsAdding Lighting InstrumentsInstruments can be inserted from the thousands of symbols provided in symbol libraries, or created as custom symbols that you convert into lighting instruments.
● In the Resource Browser, either select one of the lighting symbols from the symbol libraries or one of the symbols you have created in this file or a Favorites file. Insert the symbol with the Lighting Instrument tool to place a lighting instrument object on the light plot. This method is described in Inserting Instruments.
● Convert custom geometry to a lighting instrument. This method is described in Creating a Lighting Instrument Symbol .
The instrument symbols from the libraries included with the Vectorworks Spotlight product contain all the required attribute information. When creating or using your own symbols with the Vectorworks Spotlight product, see Lighting Instrument Specifications.
An existing lighting instrument with specific parameters can be saved as a red symbol (a preformatted resource).
