Difficulties with the Seating Layout tool

[David Ormsby]

I'm having some issues with the seating tool I can not resolve.

I am using an 18x18 chair hybrid symbol. I want the seats to be 18" apart and 36" rows.

I have drawn a rectangle 24'x6', my goal to get 2 rows of 15 chairs. What I get is 3 rows of 15 chairs.

However, any dimension under 6' gives me only one row!

What am I missing?

Thanks

Are you using version 9 or version 10?

I am also having problems with the seat layout tool. In plan everything looks good , but in 3d view portions of the chair are detached and spread all over the drawing away from the layout area. I am using the jag chair symbol (default) what am I missing?

VWA 10.1

Mac OSX 10.2.6

Ola -

That doesn't sound good -

I don't have any trouble like that. 2D and 3D are identical.

I've tried changing insertion points on my symbols, different symbols, incremental changes in the size of the Area path. I like to think I'm pretty good at VW, but I could not find a way to make it work.

David,

This is a bug. You can work arround the bug till the next release by switching into concentric mode and placeing the focal point at a large distance (1000').

Ola,

Place a single chair symbol in the document and verrify that the symbol is drawn correctly. If you have a simple file that shows this problem please send it to tech@nemetschek.net .
