Nemetschek North America announced that Landru Design has released two new Vectorworks software plug-ins: VideoScreen 4 and SoftGoods.
VideoScreen 4 is a suite of plug-in objects that enables users to insert 2D and 3D models of video devices (such as projection screens, plasma televisions, and CRT monitors) into Vectorworks drawings — complete with customizable screen images. Using the Vectorworks Object Info palette, video device formats and other parameters can be defined and changed on the fly. Screen sizes can be changed as projects evolve.
VideoScreen 4 places projectors based on screen size and on projector lens rating, or gives lens estimates based on screen size and users’ projector placement. The "Plus" version adds edge-blending and LED array capability.
The prices for the plug-ins are $40 for VideoScreen 4 Basic and $80 for VideoScreen 4 Plus. Upgrade pricing is available for users of previous VideoScreen versions.
SoftGoods is a plug-in object that allows users to insert models of straight and curved curtains and borders, as well as straight pipe-and-drape runs into Vectorworks drawings. Models can be resized on-the-fly using the Vectorworks Object Info palette or by dragging handles. This plug-in, priced at $20, can also help users track part counts.
