Featured Designer Noah DeBoy
Noah DeBoy is the Regional Technical Director for Swank Audio Visual’s Eastern Region. He is often called upon to transform the look of hotel ballrooms with creative lighting.
When asked why he likes LD Assistant, he offered the following: “Most of our clients want the maximum effect from the minimum number of fixtures. Also, working in so many ballrooms, our lighting positions tend to be less-than-optimal. LD Assistant allows me to determine the coverage we can expect from each instrument, and then generate visualizations for the client. Doing this during the early stages of a quote allows our customers to compare low-budget solutions to more costly ones, and illustrates how spending a little extra on lighting can really improve a set. That workflow pays off again when they walk into the room, and it looks just like our renderings.”
Noah is based in Philadelphia, PA.

LD Assistant 08.5 - December 2009 Explained Features
• Scale an object by reference
Scaling by reference uses an existing distance as a basis for the new size. To scale by reference, specify the current distance and then the new desired size. For example, if one side of an object is 4.8 units long and you want to expand it to 7.5 units, use 4.8 as the reference length.
A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor between 0 and 1 shrinks the object.
Scaling changes the size of all dimensions of the selected object. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor less than 1 shrinks the object.
Note: When you use the SCALE command with annotative objects, the position or location of the object is scaled relative to the base point of the scale operation, but the size of the object is not changed.
Scale Objects Using a Reference Distance.
Scaling by reference uses an existing distance as a basis for the new size. To scale by reference, specify the current distance and then the new desired size. For example, if one side of an object is 4.8 units long and you want to expand it to 7.5 units, use 4.8 as the reference length.
You can use the Reference option to scale an entire drawing. For example, use this option when the original drawing units need to be changed. Select all objects in the drawing. Then use Reference to select two points and specify the intended distance. All the objects in the drawing are scaled accordingly.
1) Click Modify menu Scale.
2) Select the object to scale.
3) Select the base point (1).
4) Enter r (Reference).
5) Select the first (1) and second (2) reference points, or enter a value for the reference length.
2) Select the object to scale.
3) Select the base point (1).
4) Enter r (Reference).
5) Select the first (1) and second (2) reference points, or enter a value for the reference length.
• Scale Objects Using a Scale Factor
With SCALE, you can make an object uniformly larger or smaller. To scale an object, you specify a base point and a scale factor. Alternatively, you can specify a length to be used as a scale factor based on the current drawing units.A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor between 0 and 1 shrinks the object.
Scaling changes the size of all dimensions of the selected object. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor less than 1 shrinks the object.
