Jack -Regarding "point motors,' you have 2 good options: either use Symbols (ones you or others create) or what VW calls "Plug-In Objects." If you're interested in the latter, VW2016 includes a new "Hoist" PIO. And, while there are also several users who have created proprietary (for their...

For something in this price bracket, I'd recommend the Martin RUSH PAR 2. Nice color range...usable "white"...zoom optics...decent intensity. I just put 38 in a House-Of-Worship install and have been quite pleased.

Go to "File"..."Document Settings"..."Document Preferences..." On the "Display" tab, make sure "Adjust flipped text" is toggled on (checked).

I recommend giving Sam Jones' AutoPlot Tools For Spotlight a look. This is a collection of several scripts/macros that make working with Spotlight a lot easier. Things like the "Select All Of This Fixture Type" do exactly what you're needing, but with a single Right-Click or menu choice...

Vectorworks will automate some of this for you. For the border and title block, use the "Sheet Border" tool: For the key, try the "Key To Instrumentation" command: If the built-in key generator doesn't work for you, try Josh Benghiat's "Savvy Symbol Key".

Joseph - This may or may not be the side orientation you're wanting, but I've got my 3 Aura Symbols posted at http://www.landrudesign.com/Downloads/LandruAura.zip and you're welcome to them. That VW file contains bottom-hung, floor, and side-hung.

Joseph - What CAD software and version?

While you'll still want to follow the "Template" advice, the new Line Types are one of the really nice additions in VW2013. You can now create types that contain geometry other than lines - like shapes or text: Pretty nice...

Greetings from Landru Design! For those of you who are users of our tools - and who like to keep up with even small changes in your software, we've uploaded ".13" versions of some of our Vectorworks tools. The tweaks include adjustments requested by users and minor bug fixes. As has been...

Do you have a "\Libraries\Objects-Entertainment" folder? If so look there. That's the folder holding those Symbols on my machines.

FWIW, a lot of LDs - even those of us who create our own Symbols - use SoftSymbols . Pretty complete and, arguably, the best-drawn commercially-available Vectorworks lighting Symbol set available.

Me again... As to the question of requiring membership I'd have to defer to the church as to their policy...and to legal experts as to that end of things. As a person who works with several churches in a professional role - and one who has served in different roles in my home church, this...

Sorry not to have answered sooner. I've been rather consumed on multiple projects. Confirming what Dave said... Contact the church directly if you're interested. I'm simply helping them get word out beyond the usual church circles.

Dave - This would be for their main campus.

Victor - Nope, this would be a Michigan thing - and, not really a side-gig. They're really needing someone full-time.
