Authored by award-winning scenic and lighting designer, Kevin Lee Allen, the new edition has been updated to complement the release of Vectorworks Spotlight with Renderworks 2015 software. It outlines a process for design development and collaboration with other designers and technical staff, and explores the creation of scenic, lighting and sound designs for a theoretical Broadway production. Readers will also learn how to create a simple 3D object.

In addition to reflecting the features in Vectorworks 2015 software, the fourth edition of the guidebook will help readers:

Use the new Deform tool to bend, taper or create a bulge with practically any geometric object.
Create temporary platforms with Stage Deck tools and model supports with Stage Lift tools.
Directly edit Lighting Position objects.
Work with new rendering styles such as White Model style.

Readers will also be introduced to the Vectorworks Remote App, which connects mobile devices to a Vectorworks desktop using a remote connection plug-in. The app allows users to interactively use the device like a remote to view, navigate and present designs without having to be at their desktops.
