Right you are. See either the Monitor or Form #75 in the back of the Law Book. As to who can sit on the 3rd step with the WM, it's up to the WM. Those seats are not assigned.

Question, are the pillars supposed to be out at all times, or only during the FC Degree?

Good question.
Re: Where Exactly Does the SD Chair Go?
Some Lodges, by dispensation, have differences due to their physical layout. For example, Point Isabel #33 has the JD to the left of the SW due to the fact that the only door into the Lodgeroom is on the SW's left. It was real dorky for the JD to have to walk around the SW every time he needed to talk to the Tiler.

The right way and the way a Lodge does it are about the same thing. I was told by a DI that form 75 is what he uses when grading degrees which is not very often and on his offical visit with DDGMs when he is grading those visits like last year but otherwise he said it is a guidline for a lodge to set up b/c not all Lodges can adhere to it exaclty.
I think a Lodge would be safe to set up convient for them as long as the altar was not in a corner or something!

look at where the lights are shown.. ! have seen three tall light .. one to the left from the master .. the other two on the right..? grand lodge has the tall tapers..?
both of these bring up the good point as to why we need more members of the Committee on Work from various grand lodges to provide wisdom and guidance on these forums.
i'd like to see 2 members of 2 different Committees on Work to go at on this, because i feel like i would be surprised, as most of us would be.
i DO KNOW that there is one lodge (one single lodge) in Texas that actually has a red staircase of 3, 5, and 7 stairs in it for the fellowcraft degree. that is nowhere in this diagram, and would like to know if they had dispensation for it, or if they just had to clarify whather that was okay before they commissioned that lodge.
