Introduction

This page describes specific properties for sets and painted scenery pieces. These are considered in the CanonBase as a specific type of equipment in the field of stage mechanics and sets.

Porperties that are more general, like collection information, media, sources or references are only described her if they have a significant meaning, different from the ones in the equipment help pages.

Convention for the labels of an item

The label of an item is composed out of the [subject], (Painted set), the type of painted scenic element[type of equipment], and the collection [Part of collection].

(we need to check if there are not too many doubles this way)

Example:
