Editing seating sections

Command	Path
Edit Boundary	Context menu

To change the boundary of the seating section:

Select the command.

The De objectbewerkmodus opens.

Edit the boundary vertices directly, and use other tools and commands including the Gom (gereedschap), the Schaar (gereedschap), and the commands for Vlakken van 2D-objecten bewerken.

When you exit the object editing mode, select whether to refill the seating section when the boundary changes are made, or discard the changes.

Alternatively, use the Reshape tool to reshape the boundary (see Objecten vervormen).

Some, but not all, parameters can be edited from both the Seating Section Settings dialog box and the Object Info palette. The fields in the Object Info palette are named similarly (but not always identically) to those in the Seating Section Settings dialog box, and roughly reflect the order in which settings are entered in the dialog box. The seating section parameters are described in Creating seating sections. Only the parameters that are different are described here.

Some parameter changes require the seating section to refill, removing any custom seating edits. An alert displays to confirm the parameter change.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Seating Type	Static display of the selected seating type; this parameter can be changed in the Seating Section Settings dialog box (see Seating section settings)
Always Redraw Section	Redraws the seating section for each change made in the Object Info palette; selecting this option may use significant computer resources and slow down operations. If this option is not selected, you can click Update to redraw the section as desired.
Display Boundary	Displays the seating section’s bounding box
Display Section Info	Select for a static display of the number of chairs/tables, the maximum/minimum tables/chairs per row, and the maximum number of rows; if deselected, the data do not show
Display Focus Line	Display the seating section’s focus line with three control points that make it easier to visualize and control the seating orientation, the angle/radius. The end point with no arrow controls the angle of straight seats or the radius of curved seats. The end point with an arrow controls the focus point of the seats. The center point is used to move the line.
Update	If Always Redraw Section is not selected, click to redraw the seating section
Settings	Opens the Seating Section Settings dialog box to edit and redraw the seating section (see Creating seating sections)
Edit Seating	Click for Custom editing individual seats
Classes	Opens the Seating section settings: Classes pane to edit the class assignments for the seating section elements; other panes of the dialog box are not available and the entire seating section is not redrawn
Vertex parameters	Edits the vertices of the path object that the seating section is based upon; see Controlepunten van objecten aanpassen
Equipment Subparts	Lists the subparts that make up the object. These subparts are counted and reported separately in equipment and inventory lists. The parameters must be selected for display for this type of object in Spotlight preferences: Inventory pane.
Equipment Virtual Parts	Virtual parts are associated with an object and are reported in equipment and inventory lists, but do not display in the drawing. After adding virtual parts, they are listed in the Object Info palette.
Edit Virtual Parts	Opens the Virtual Parts dialog box to add virtual parts to the object; see Managing virtual parts and independent virtual parts
Assign Sources	Opens the Assign Sources dialog box to assign the object and its subparts and virtual parts to an inventory source; see Assigning equipment to an inventory
