Having option to upload our building layouts where the customers can go into the floor plan and place their table, chair, stage, band/dj and bar setup would be so helpful for our users.

Currently use PRISMM and while I use some of the features, I do not need all they offer. We signed with PV over TripleSeat after being with WEVEN for several years. We signed up with PRISMM for one year hoping PV would follow through with a floorpan generator; so your email is ENCOURAGING! As a large event venue basically need legend with items we provide that can be dragged into scaled layouts of our vendors. PRISMM allows clicking on guest tables to add guest names ...and then clicking on guest names to add menu selection. The brides I work with have LOVED being able to play around with the app. PRISMM also gave the ability to lock the layout (we locked out at a week prior) so any changes the bride needed after lockout we would be aware of and make adjustment. Initially too many were making last minute changes and not letting us know. Being able to place textbox on the layout with more summary of layout is helpful. Being able to # the tables helpful. In the legend having tables with with sizes and chairs around them (with varying amt of chairs) and without chairs also good. Having everything in PV would be SO VERY HELPFUL. Plus, doing away with yet another app fee would be so appreciated. (I think we are all tired of the number of app fees we pay for let alone advertising)Thanks!

Generally we complete floor plans using Canva. Chairs, tables, and production items take the longest. I'd be interested in a feature that allows you to save templates or designs. Wherein we create an object, we can save that object and continuously use it over several plans..

I have used everything from hand drawn, Canva, Powerpoint. In house we mostly just need table and chair configurations, its the offsites and weddings where we need tables, bar, wall, dancefloor, chairs. Essentially all the "lego parts" to build an event diagram

I have hand sketched our private event room out with just the basics (walls, bars, bathrooms) and draw in the table arrangement afterwards. The most frustrating thing about that is that it ends up not being to scale so I can't really visualize what needs to go where. We'd need 36x36 tables, high top options, dance floor & stage options as well as the ability to measure out walls etc.

I often do a quick sketch on paper (or in Good Notes w/iPad) while meeting with the client, then scan it, and insert it into the PV BEO. Keep in mind there are maybe 2-3 common layouts used 90% of the time in most of our venue spaces.

We also build in Canva. We have conference rooms (not restaurant). We use: chairs, tables (round and rectangle shaped), podium, screen, flat screen TV, TV cart, movable whiteboard. We have noted on the table shape how many chairs (ex: table with 5 chairs, table with 6 chairs, etc.) and then do not put the actual chairs in the layout to save time/space. It also makes it cleaner for our clients. The most time consuming is building all the different options for rooms beforehand so that we're not needing to generate in-the-moment. This allowed my admin assistant to produce the layouts beforehand and the work to be delegated. However with all the different combinations my admin assistant literally designed over 100 different options between all our conference rooms and the different variables. If you get the option up and running (and please ADD THIS - But don't do another tier level to add this feature), please allow us to save designs/templates, so we're not remaking the same set-up when events use the same set up. It would be great if there was a way for clients to draw on the set-up (like old school MS Paint) to express what changes they want and then have a way for us to lock the set up, so everyone is on the same page.

I build them in Canva. Transport the original architecture floor plan of the restaurant and then populate with tables and chairs. The initial gathering of objects is most time consuming. Easy enough after.

Hi all! We're starting to explore this feature.

How do you currently build floor plans and what are the common types of objects? What's been most time consuming in that process?
