Floorplan 3D Software
Allseated event design software allows you to:
● Design event layouts in 2D/View in 3D
● Select your tables, chairs, objects, and furniture from extensive libraries
● Customize spacing
● Join tables and/or knock off chairs
● Include spacing for dance floors and entertainment areas
● Mark exits within the layout
● List any planning details and/or notes directly within the floorplan
● Save favorite objects and templates for future layouts
● Create custom groups and save to favorites
● Upload files (including JPG, PNG, PDF) to floorplan
● And so much more!
At any time while designing your floorplan, utilize the 3D layout maker by switching from 2D viewing to 3D viewing to take a virtual walk-through of your layout. There are various 3D layout maker viewing options too! Bird’s Eye viewing allows you to see the floorplan layout from an above view. You can also walk through the floorplan via 1st Person View as if you were taking a virtual walk-through of the layout. The many forms of floorplan viewing (in both 2D and 3D) help to ensure that you’re 100% satisfied with your floorplan layout well in advance of the event.
It’s important to note that you have the option to manage permission settings in your account. You can collaborate with and show your client their floorplan but they will not be able to make any changes without your permission.
