Questions this guide answers
How does Smart Layout work in Floors.live?
Click Smart Layout in the editor toolbar, then drag across the floor of your scaled plan to mark where tables can go. Smart Layout reads the guest count from your event, fills the area with tables and shows how many tables and seats fit. Press Apply Layout to place them on the plan.
How many tables fit in my room for my guest count?
Mark the usable floor area with Smart Layout and it works out the answer from your calibrated plan. A stats line shows the result, for example 12 tables · 120 seats. Max capacity packs the area as tightly as the spacing allows, while Comfortable and Spacious leave more room between tables for service and movement.
Do I need to set the scale before using Smart Layout?
Yes. Smart Layout spaces tables using real room dimensions, so calibrate the scale first by clicking both ends of a known wall and entering its length. Without a calibrated scale, the table count and spacing will not match the actual venue, and the editor reminds you that the scale is not set.
Can I adjust the tables after Smart Layout places them?
Yes. Before applying, fine-tune Table Spacing and Row Spacing, or add a center aisle and set its width. After you press Apply Layout, the tables are ordinary objects on your plan, so you can move, rotate, delete or add tables one by one, and undo the whole layout with Ctrl or Cmd+Z.
