What is a section in lighting design?
The section is a cutaway view of the house and stage from either the left or the right. The section line is typically the venue’s center line. The elevation is a plot oriented as if viewing the stage from the audience.
How are lighting positions numbered?
In general: Units mounted on hanging positions which are perpendicular to centerline (for example, overhead pipes or most FOH positions) are numbered from stage left to stage right. Units mounted on vertical hanging positions such as onstage booms or ladders are numbered from top to bottom, downstage to upstage.
