Not everything on a stage makes noise. The Drum Shield Wide icon shows that the kit is enclosed and how much extra floor that takes, and drawing it is what turns a request into a task somebody can tick off.
Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.
Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. Shields sit in a shallow arc downstage of the kit, with a gap left on one side for the drummer to get in and out. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.
The detail that saves a phone call. Confirm panel count and whether a lid is used. A lidded shield needs its own drummer monitoring plan, usually in ears.
Drum Shield Wide is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it shows that the kit is enclosed and how much extra floor that takes, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
