What Are Building Elements in Seated With Love?

In Seated With Love, Building Elements are structural objects that represent the physical architectural features and furniture within a venue. These elements can be added to a floor plan layout to accurately reflect the building structure and fixed features of the event space.

Building elements help planners create a more precise and realistic venue layout by including items such as doors, walls, columns, stairs, and furniture that exist within the physical venue. By placing these elements on the floor plan, planners can design layouts that match the true structure of the event location.

These elements are available as drag-and-drop tools within the Seated With Love Floor Plan Editor, allowing users to recreate the architectural layout of a venue before adding tables, seating charts, or other event elements.

Rectangular Column – Indicates rectangular building supports
Straight Wall – Represents standard wall sections within the venue

Straight Stairs – Shows straight staircases between levels

How to Use the Snap and Lock Feature in Seated With Love
