In this section, you’ll master advanced documentation and data skills to elevate your light plots in Vectorworks Spotlight. First, you’ll discover how to use the Equipment Summary Key to create clear, effective instrumentation legends for your designs. The session then guides you through generating a Channel Hookup worksheet using Vectorworks’ built-in reporting tools, enabling streamlined organization of fixture and channel data.
Next, you’ll learn how to use Worksheets to directly manipulate objects in your model and customize worksheet displays to highlight the data most relevant to your project. The lesson also covers working with Viewports and Sheets, showing you how to place your drawings into layouts and use annotations—such as notes, dimensions, and rulers—to mark up and clarify your plots. You’ll also practice creating Sections from Viewports for detailed callouts, ensuring your documentation is clear and comprehensive.
Finally, you’ll be introduced to data visualization techniques, which help you analyze, highlight, and communicate key information right on your drawings. The section concludes with a walkthrough on generating labels from your worksheet data, reinforcing effective connections between your digital documentation and the physical production process.
