Adding Accessories
Adding AccessoriesAccessories can be inserted from the many symbols provided in symbol libraries, or created as custom symbols that you convert into accessories.
● Use the Lighting Accessory tool to select a lighting accessory object and place it on the light plot. This method is described in Inserting Accessories.
● Convert custom geometry into an accessory. This method is described in Creating an Accessory.
The accessory symbols from the libraries included with the Vectorworks Spotlight product include all the required attribute information and have the correct accessory type assigned (Accessory or Static Accessory). To create or use your own symbols, see Accessory Specifications.
Lighting instrument accessories, such as color frames, barn doors, and top hats, are placed on the same design layer as the instruments. Accessories such as color frames, barn doors, and top hats have a Device Type of Static Accessory. Accessories that require a control channel, such as color scrollers, have a Device Type of Accessory.
An instrument can have multiple accessories in the same location (most accessories are placed at the front of an instrument). It can also have several accessories in different locations. Once an accessory has been associated with an instrument, the instrument controls the accessory.
