Can you attach a .pdf of your
Vertical Section so we can see the issue in context?
You guys are going to love this (keep in mind this is a professional resident theater group) the
scenic designer quit a couple of weeks before
build began and took all his drawings with him. So they tried to recreate the set (without violating the original artists intellectual property rights) so the new designer began working on it, and for some reason just seemed really distracted through the whole process, so that the set was redesigned at least a dozen times between the time he was brought on, and
build.
So when I got paperwork it was not in scale (but at least the
ground plan had all the depth measurements marked) and there was no section. So I did my best guesstimating at the heights (4' platforms, 8' walls,
etc) for hang. They installed the set the day after hang and I came back a couple of days later for focus and find out the wall heights had changed again.
So the spaces 4th
electric when from being useless (with 8' wall heights) to actually quite useful for back light with the new 4' high walls, but some quick math and I realized that it would take a
trim of 36' (because of the distance between the wall and the
electric (18"). Well we got it out to the max
trim, and I catch the top of the scenery lightly, but it still works.
So in other words no scenery section = no lighting section (although I am going to draw one just to complete my paperwork).
