Stairs 4-Step Stage Plot Icon

Not everything on a stage makes noise. The Stairs 4-Step icon sets the physical geometry every other piece of gear has to work around, 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.

Using the Stairs 4-Step icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. Risers sit upstage centre or upstage left of the kit. Stairs face the side the performers enter from, and truss goes where it can be flown or ground supported without fouling a sightline. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.

What the crew needs to know

The detail that saves a phone call. Give riser dimensions and height in the plot notes. Icons show position; numbers settle the build.

On the input list

Stairs 4-Step is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it sets the physical geometry every other piece of gear has to work around, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.

Console exports

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.
