Stage Plot Generator

Most stage-plot tools draw a picture of a stage. Stage Plot Generator builds the production document: a plan drawn to real metres, with the input list, monitor mix matrix, DMX patch, personnel and rigging report in the same file, updating with the drawing.

Who it is for

• Bands and tour managers who need a plot the venue takes seriously, attached to the rider.
• FOH and system engineers who want the input list next to the plot, not in a spreadsheet that drifts by load-in.
• Lighting designers placing fixtures, patching universes and catching address collisions before the truck rolls.
• Venues and festival production receiving readable, comparable plots.

What makes it different

• It is to scale. You enter width and depth in metres; the stage is a real rectangle at that size, the grid is a one-metre grid, and the ruler and measure tool report true distances.
• One document. Input list, monitor matrix, DMX list and grid, personnel and a rigging report are all derived from the canvas.
• DMX that checks itself. Universes, addresses, channel counts and a conflict check.
• Reuse. Venue profiles, ten starting templates, personal presets and group templates make the second gig cost minutes.
• A link the venue can open. No account, no licence, nothing to install.
