Another important coordinate system is DZ coordinates, used in Side View, Rigging and Levels
windows. The DZ origin marker can be optionally hidden in Side View as well. While Z still refers to
the elevation from the ground, D is relative to the position of the object whose section is displayed
in Side View, and reflects the distance, along the object’s main axis, from its reference point: the
location for Sound Sources (§2.10, §2.14) and Receivers (§3.6), the front center point for
Audience Zones (§2.4), or the starting point for Section Planes (§5.2). You can see how relative D
values relate to XY coordinates in the status bar, while you move your mouse over Side View,
Rigging and Levels windows.
The difference between positive and negative D values is given by a simple convention: in short,
Sound Sources are expected to be radiating from left to right in Side View, and the audience is
expected to face from right to left. For this reason, the Side View relative to Sound Sources is
always showing them pointing right, while relative to Receivers, Audience Zones and Section
Planes it shows them pointing left. If you have any doubt when using Audience Zones or Section
Planes, refer to the yellow arrow appearing in the middle of those objects when they are selected,
and pointing to their front center point (for Audience Zones) or starting point (for Section Planes):
