GLOBAL: As digital previsualisation and precision planning continue to redefine professional event and exhibition workflows, Global Truss has taken a decisive step forward with the release of a new, comprehensive Vectorworks library encompassing the manufacturer’s complete current truss portfolio. Developed specifically for the German version of Vectorworks Spotlight, the library comprises around 630 high-quality symbols, positioning it as the most extensive truss library presently available for the platform.

The release was realised through close collaboration with RocketLab led by Christian Glatthor, alongside ComputerWorks, ensuring a technically robust and workflow-ready integration. Users will be able to access the Global Truss Library both as a direct download via the Global Truss website and from within Vectorworks itself, allowing immediate incorporation into existing planning environments without friction.

Designed with an emphasis on exceptionally high data quality, the library is intended to provide planners, technical draughtspeople and professionals across the event and exhibition sectors with a precise and practical foundation for daily design work in Vectorworks. The current release represents the first phase of a broader rollout and includes the complete truss systems range, with additional partial releases scheduled throughout 2026. These forthcoming updates will expand the library to include all couplers as well as stage platforms, which will be integrated progressively over the year.

The launch also carries particular significance for Global Truss, as 2026 marks the company’s 25th anniversary. By investing heavily in digital planning resources alongside its physical product range, the manufacturer is signalling a clear intent to set new benchmarks not only in hardware but also in the digital tools that underpin modern production design.

As Oliver Braun, Head of Global Marketing at Global Truss, states, “Global Truss has invested a great deal of time and resources to realize this project. Over the past 1.5 years, the groundwork has been laid to integrate all Global Truss products into Vectorworks. Global Truss would also like to expressly thank RocketLab and ComputerWorks for their smooth cooperation. Chris and his team have created tremendous added value for Vectorworks users with this implementation.”

With this new Vectorworks library, Global Truss is reinforcing its long-term commitment to the digital planning ecosystem, equipping users with a powerful, efficient and future-proof toolset that supports realistic emphasises and accuracy at the earliest stages of project development—an increasingly critical factor in today’s complex live production landscape.
