Design room plans

The Room Plan page provides you with a canvas and all the tools you will need to create a diagram for your event.

Use Automatic Layout to quickly fill the space with tables, chairs, and standard resources such as stages, dance floors, and podiums.

Automatic Layout is available if your administrator set the seating styles that apply to the room using the Layout Editor. If you select a room that does not have seating styles applied, you'll go straight to Design Mode.

Switch to Design Mode to take full control and add more resources from the library, adjust the sizes and shapes, or tailor the layout. The canvas displays a ruler to help you accurately place objects. When you move your cursor, you'll see the coordinates of your position in the key at the bottom of the screen update in real time. If it's been a minute since you looked at a graph, X is horizontal, and Y is vertical.

You can switch back to Automatic Layout any time you want to. Click Yes to keep your edits and continue fine-tuning or click No to clear your edits and reset the room.

Once you are finished, you can click Icon of a cube to preview a three-dimensional render of your room. Click Share Share icon to send the room plan to customers and your colleagues to receive their feedback and approval.

Navigation to another page from the room plan is easy. Click on the menu Menu icon located at the top left of the page. Select the desired location, and it will open in a new tab. This enables efficient continued working on your room plan design.

    • Select the Group Seating Objects check box to have the full Settings menu available, for your seating groups, when moving from Automatic Layout to Design Mode. Clear the Group Seating Objects check box if you don't want your seating resources to be grouped.
    • If you want to number for classroom, banquet, or exhibit seating styles, select On. To skip specific numbers, enter them in the Skip Numbers field separated by commas.
