Pericles i.

Yesterday, our rough plot was due for Pericles. The campus was closed due to extreme weather conditions, so we presented the rough plot today.


Plot drawn in Vectorworks 2008 Educational Version...

It has been a wild ride so far. The image above is from Revision G...I am sure I will have at least three more before the final is due on Monday. I will also have attached a Center Line Section...


Center Line Section...lots more to do before Monday...

Also, I will need to produce a Boom Plate for booms directly on the deck, the floor in the Front of House , and Box Booms in FOH. The great thing about this project is that the tiring parts of getting started, and the detail work just flies by. I just have a lot of detail work to do before Monday. I will need to modify a few symbols, build booms, create a key that I like, place notes where necessary, and then double check my instrument placement and information to the paperwork in our Lightwright4 files. We create our Lightwright file first, then we create the plot from that information...a long process that I am sure has a shorter route, but we don't have the time on this project to learn it...so, for the next one that will be my goal.

Jonathan, I just wanted to thank you, once again, for your do-gooded-ness, even in how you are in relationship to a corporation/product/brand. I think you demonstrate excellent citizen journalism in tagging your blog posts with "vectorworks." I don't only say this is as one who works for the company, but also as someone who, personally, is a frequent blogger and one active as an early adopter with social media.

So, rock on. You've got a lot of natural capacities in how you communicate and express, and I can see that your skills and understanding are deepening, too.

Oh, and - for real -- I almost forgot what brought me to your post: the educational version of Vectorworks. I just wanted to remind your readers that US students can get a free educational license of the fully loaded Vectorworks software. http://www.nemetschek.net/student/
