We don’t join communities because it’s easy — we join because something in us refuses to stay passive. This place is for people who believe the world should be built, improved, questioned, and reinvented. It’s for those who see technology not as noise, but as possibility. Becoming a member means stepping forward and saying: I’m not just here to watch the future happen — I’m here to shape it. This is a place for bold ideas, real collaboration, and people who are ready to create rather than consume.
If you’re waiting for the right moment, this is it. Join now, bring your curiosity, your skills, your vision, and your ambition. Together we can turn conversations into action, knowledge into power, and potential into reality. Don’t stand on the edge of innovation — step inside and help define what comes next. Join us today ⇢
Workspace
Our online workspace is designed to be a place where ideas grow, projects evolve, and people can collaborate comfortably. We focus on keeping things clear, flexible, and easy to navigate — whether you’re exploring articles, experimenting with new concepts, or contributing to ongoing work. Certain articles are available only to members. Articles that are publicly accessible will be clearly labeled Preview. We invite developers, designers, and creative thinkers to explore this approach with us, share your own workspace insights, and help build environments that inspire both productivity and joy in the work we do.

Lighting Design — Get Prepared
Between 1999 and 2017, Tehnif Software worked in partnership with Chicago Stage Equipment Co. Inc. DBA Design & Drafting. We combined lighting, sound, video, set design and event planning into an ALL-IN-ONE CAD program - LD Assistant.
Lighting Design — Software at a Glance
LD Assistant is a Lighting Design Software for Stage Lighting, Audio, Video and Event Planning, that merges advanced lighting design algorithms with 2D & 3D standard CAD tool set.
Lighting Design — Software Features
Drawings are made up of objects. You can create a range of objects, from simple lines and circles to spline curves, and ellipses. When specifying a point, you can enter distances, offsets, and measured intervals.
Lighting Design — Gallery
A realistic rendering of a model can often give a product team or prospective client a clearer vision of a conceptual design than a plotted drawing. Rendering creates a 2D image based on your 3D scene.
Lighting Design — The User's Voice
... it’s difficult to embrace all of LD Assistant’s features; therein lies the beauty of the program. Power users will never exhaust all the potential of the software, but they are consistently able to push the envelope of their own designs.
Lighting Design — As Reviewed by Industry Media
For adding the powerful 3D rendering tools of Viz 4 and Lightscape and credibility of IES standard photometrics to entertainment designer’s toolboxes – and making them user friendly enough to use without three new textbooks – we recognize Design and Drafting’s LD Assistant Ac with VIZlink.
Lighting Design — Business Facts
We understand much more than just CAD ... we understand Design, and more importantly, we understand users business. Our software solutions successfully combines lighting and event planning into an ALL-IN-ONE product.
