<div style="color: black;">
<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">Are we pulling dimensions from
a computer as we go? For getting way offstage, I like to use two vectors
from known points, say the intersection of CL and PL, and upstage wall at
CL. Using the computer to find straight distance from each of those
points to the point to be marked, I just use a pair of long tapes or laser
meters to find where the lengths cross.<br>
