Chair arrangement tool

When you work in the drawing canvas, you might need to customize the arrangement of chairs around a table. For example, you only want chairs on three sides of a table, or want to add an additional chair to a table already at maximum capacity. You can use the chair arrangement tool to customize your diagram and best represent your space.
