Section_Object_Product_Icon Source Four Savvy Section

For Vectorworks and Vectorworks SpotLight

 

The Source Four Savvy Section plug-in object eliminates the tedium of tweaking dimensionally accurate 2D sections of an ETC Source Four or Source Four PAR, including the hanging angle, yoke, angle, clamp type, and accessories.  With this object, you no longer need to ungroup and rotate your section symbols, or look for symbols of various components.  All the following features are combined in a single object!

Imagine wanting a Source Four in section, pointing US at a 30 degree angle.  Your symbol points DS at a 45 degree angle.  You also want to show it hanging on a side arm and add a scroller.
