Spec the show network.
Ship the drawing set.

netmap turns your rack builds, IP plan, VLANs and DMX universes into a complete, print-ready drawing set — rack elevations, switch-port maps, cable schedules and universe maps. The paperwork a show package actually needs, drafted in one place.

Phase 01 · Plan

Start with the scheme.

SHT E-100

Before a single device exists, the show has an addressing scheme. The title block says whose book this is; the VLAN legend says how the network thinks.

One legend rules the whole book

Every VLAN gets a number, a name, a color, a subnet scheme and an IP start. That row travels everywhere — grid cells, port maps, coding rings, labels, prints.

Renumber freely

Change a VLAN's id or name and every device, switch port and panel connector using it follows — in the show and in your saved library.

The per-VLAN subnet schemes set here drive the IP planner later. Design the addressing once, at your desk, before the gear ships.

Phase 02 · Build

Model the rig once.

SHT E-200

One row per piece of gear — typed in, pasted from a spreadsheet, or pulled from the library you have been building since the last tour.

The next show starts where the last one ended

A reusable gear library, saved panels, and touring containers that come back with their gear and switch-port assignments in one click.

Community equipment library

Real-world gear added by netmap users — port layouts, RU, power, faceplates — human-reviewed before it ships. Included with Pro.

The rack draws itself

Give a device a rack and an RU and the elevations exist — front, rear, and a 3D flight case you can orbit.

Phase 03 · Patch

Patch it before the truck.

SHT E-300

The deepest phase — and the one the site can't fake. Four screens, one rule: nothing is typed twice, and validation runs live the whole way down.

STEP 01 · 04

Ports & Grid

Paint VLANs onto the switch face. The whole architecture at a glance, in faceplate order — copy a plan, stamp it onto the next switch.

Master IP Schedule

Every device, every NIC, live and editable. Consoles side by side, nodes with their universes, duplicates boxed in red on the spot.

MVR import

Pull the plot straight from Vectorworks. See the whole rig in 3D, fixtures colored by universe, with patch conflicts flagged while the fix is still free.

Looms

Spec a loom once — identity color, tape marker, member legs. Stamp both ends and every leg lands in the cable schedule.

Validation runs live the whole time — duplicate IPs, a port used twice, a VLAN missing from the legend. The mistake gets caught at your desk, not at the dimmer beach.

Phase 04 · Ship

One click. The whole book.

SHT E-400

The gate first: a green board. Errors block a clean export; warnings don't lie about themselves.

Then the export — a branded drawing set with title blocks, a drawing register and revisions. Portrait, landscape 17×11, or ganged four-up onto Arch D for the plotter. PDF and Excel, every time.

Phase 05 · Publish

The book goes where the crew is.

SHT E-500

Studio publishes a read-only copy of the paperwork to netmap.show/publish/you/show. The crew opens it on their phones — searchable IP schedule, cable schedule, port maps, and the 3D rack orbit. No app install.

You stay in control

Optional PIN. Links live 14 days and extend from the app. View counts show who actually opened the book.

Get on the build.

netmap is drafting real show packages today. I'm bringing on a small group of network and systems folks for early access — full features, no watermark, and a direct line to me for what it should do next. At launch it opens with a 7-day trial.
