Add the dance floor, bar, stage and other objects

Venue objects are the parts of the room that aren’t guest tables: the dance floor, the bar, the band, the doors. Adding them helps you plan who sits near the speakers, and helps guests find their way on the printed chart.

Add an object

1. 1

   Find the rail

   On the Floor plan screen, look at the slim rail on the right edge of the floor plan. Tables are at the top and venue objects below them. On a phone, tap the + button instead and a sheet opens with the same items.
2. 2

   Drag or click

   Drag an item onto the floor to place it exactly there, or click it to drop it near the middle of the view.
3. 3

   Put it in place

   Drag it where it belongs. Select it to resize or rotate it with the handles.

What you can add

These are the venue objects you can add:

• Dance Floor
• Stage
• Band
• Bar
• DJ
• Buffet
• Cake Table
• Gift Table
• Coat Check
• Guest Seating
• Ceremony Arch
• Entrance
• Exit
• Restrooms
• Wall
• Column
• Door
• Text label

If Lock layout is on, you can’t move or resize objects. Click the padlock in the toolbar to unlock the room first.

Some starter layouts also include a photo booth. You can move and delete it like any other object, but there’s no photo booth on the rail, and you can’t add images to the floor plan.

Add your own words with a Text label

Add a Text label from the rail, then double-click it (double-tap on a phone). Type your text in Label text, for example “Lounge” or “Garden doors”. Only text labels can be renamed. Other objects keep their name, like “Dance Floor”.

Move, layer and delete

• Arrow keys nudge a selected object; hold Shift to move it further.
• Bring to front and Send to back in the toolbar’s More menu decide what sits on top, for example a bar against a wall.
• On a computer, select it and press Delete / Backspace. Undo brings it back.

On the printed floor-plan chart, you choose whether objects appear with the Venue objects option. See the floor-plan seating chart.
