Adjusting the 'Bottom Z' of Theater Seating

Recommended Posts

Right now I'm trying to build a theater in 3D. The audience floor is raked up, and I've already built it in 3D, nothing to difficult. So then, in 2D, I drew and arc to match the arc of the house seating, then grabbed a theater seat from a Vectorworks Library, and duplicated it along the path. So now, all the seats in 2D are perfect. However, I can't figure out how to raise the seats up so they'll sit ontop of the raked floor they're suppose to be on. Any ideas?

Hi

Do you have Vectorworks Spotlight? If you do, use the Event Planning > Create Event Seating menu command to create seating that is raked.

If you don't, you could use the Edit > Duplicate Array command to copy your seating. You can use a Z offset to ensure that each row or seating rises by the desired amount to achieve the rake.

Hope that helps
