# Places & sets

> Standing sets, swing sets and locations.

Part of ScripTao ([all features](https://scriptao.com/features), group: Develop).

Places are real records, not text in a heading. Scenes point at them, so the breakdown and reports can tell you which sets carry the season and which appear once.

## What it does

- Each place has a kind (standing set, swing set, location), INT/EXT, a description and a mood
- Scenes link to places, so renaming a place renames it everywhere
- Breakdown and Reports count scenes per set

## How to use it

1. Places → add a place
2. Pick it in a scene's Place field on the outline

## Step by step

Screenshots of the app, on the sample series.

1. Places → add a place: interior or exterior, a description, and the scenes that use it are counted for you.

2. On the scene outline, pick the place in a scene's Place field; the scene heading (INT./EXT. PLACE - DAY) is written for you.
