Chair rows for ceremonies and conferences

Theatre-style, classroom, or ceremony seating without building a table layout — set rows and chairs per row, and SeatPlan places every row for you.

Rows, not a monolith. Every row lands as its own element — grab any one and fine-tune it independently. Animated demo with sample data.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Add, then choose Chair rows. On desktop, press C to add one row of 10 chairs immediately.
  2. 2Set Rows — up to 30. Keep it at 1 for a single row of chairs.
  3. 3Set Chairs per Row — up to 50.
  4. 4Click Add Chair Row Block.
  5. 5Drag each row into position on the floor plan.

Each row is its own element. Double-click a row, or use its pencil control, to edit it after placing the block. Finish a field to apply the change, then choose Done to close.
