New option to deselect the Show Beam parameter, converting objects to вЂњrough plotвЂќ mode Now includes options to select an existing layer, change the layer prefix, and set the visibility for new layers

Added вЂњFlipвЂќ figure parameter to the focus area optionsД¬an now unflip itself if used with mirror tool, including vertical and rotated plan.

New option to Extend Focus Point to Floor.

Both the beamвЂ™s origin and hanging location are now drggable.

Now works with the Reverse and Repeat command - useful for boom shots in plan view or side lights in front elevation.

Better handling of Focus Area beams that donвЂ™t hit the floor.

Fixed Focus: Rotates instrument about focus.

Dynamic: Rotates the focus about the instrument.

When converted to Lighting Devices, overhung units now also affect the 3D componentД«eams logically respond to rotate commands, depending on the mode: New indicator when a light is overhung (negative clamp distance) Render lights now appear in the Visualization palette Adding a rendering light now hides the beam in rendered views Numerous improvements to the Add Light feature. Improved calculations now show accurate shutter cuts and bottle rotations for low angles that create parabolic coverage areas New Simple 3D mode shows only cut planes and cone boundsДЈD components drawn with NURBS, resulting in faster and more elegant rendering Now use the z height to visualize beams above or below the ground plane without adjusting the beamвЂ™s position height New interactive Adjust Shutters dialog uses sliders to control shutter depth and angle, displaying changes right in the drawing, in both 2D and 3D views New parameter to focus a Beam to an existing Spotlight Focus Point New Show Focus Vector option to show a line representing the lightвЂ™s focus The cone edge accurately adjusts to shutter cuts and bottle rotations New Cone Edge Lines option to display lines defining the beam cone in plan view.

New Coverage Map feature shows full body or other user-specified coverage in plan view Perfect for checking shots through scenery or under masking New Additional Cut Plane parameter, to check coverage at any height. New Cycle BD Redraw Mode command, which allows you to change redraw modes with a keyboard shortcut вЂњFixed FocusвЂќ for nudging or dragging the instrument location Get Light Info Data, Pickup Z Height, and Reset Shutters buttons now function on all selected Beam Draw objectsД«eam Draw and Beam Draw PAR improvements: New settings preferences for default class and default Move to Layer prefixДЄll Beam objects now properly flip when using with the mirror tool and a horizontal or vertical line of reflection

Redesigned and reorganized Object Info palettesДiscrete class control for each component of the object, including an option to automatically set classes.

Numerous under the hood improvements result in faster and more reliable beams.

Improvements to performance, accuracy, and usability: You can even adjust your channel numbers to accommodate similarly focused or reverse-and-repeated systems. Includes properties to let you view the beams in a rough plot mode.Д«eam Draw Magic pulls position and channel data from your beams for use on a sheet layer magic sheet. Quickly file away beams in a system to their own, hidden layer. If you are working with one system of beams at a time, you can easily channel them, and the data will be transferred when you convert the beams to Spotlight lighting devices. It even will R&R shutter cuts and bottle rotations. Static mode to easily duplicate beams into a system of lights.Д¬ommand to reverse and repeat beams. Beam Draw Section will even draw a figure for you, and show you what portion of the section includes the full width of your focus area.Д«eam Draw will let you read photometric data from your symbols, letting you easily try different unit types.Д«eam Draw will detect the Z height of a lighting position below it, but only when you ask! View valuable data on how your light focuses.Д«eam Draw Section lets you visualize beam sections in a 2D view. You can drag the shutters right in the drawing! View the beamвЂ™s ellipse in plan view and cone in 3D.ДЇocus from any position height to any focus height, even if the light focus up or hits the face plane in an open parabola. Use Beam Draw PAR to visualize elliptical beams with any bottle rotation, in both 2D and 3D. You can use Beam Draw to easily determine ideal instrument placement inВ AutoPlot,В SpotLight, or any blank document.Д®asily convert beam objects into SpotLight lighting devices. Beam Draw lets you concentrate on worksheeting your rough plot - save drafting for later. The beam size and shape adjust as you drag and nudge the beam.ДЄdjustable properties include: Position Height, Distance to C-Clamp, Field Angle, Beam Angle, Peak Candela, Face Plane Height, Show/Hide Beam on Floor.Д¬ompletely stand-alone.
