Create seating plans for seminars, conferences and events

01

Many programs for creating seating plans and room layouts originated as 3D, CAD or architecture software. As extensive as their range of functions is, so too is the complexity of the program and the know-how required to operate it. SemiChair's goal is to fundamentally simplify this. Seating plans should be quick and intuitive to create.

02

The customer doesn't yet know whether they prefer block seating, parliamentary seating or theatre seating. No problem – planned in no time!

03

Choose from a variety of predefined furniture: chairs (with armrests, without armrests, stools), tables (banquet tables, round tables), combinations (e.g. banquet table with 2 chairs, round table with 6 chairs (cabaret), round table with 8 chairs (banquet)) and room elements (e.g. stage elements, projector screens).

04

The furniture can simply be moved, rotated, locked, deleted and duplicated with the mouse using drag and drop.

07 / FAQs
01 How much do the set-up costs amount to? +

This mainly depends on two factors:

1. the number of rooms

2. Are there already drawn floor plans to be integrated (PDF / image / vector graphic)? Or should the floor plans be drawn from scratch?

For a non-binding quote, please fill in this short form: Request form. We will then get back to you promptly.

02 What does 'custom-drawn floor plans' mean? +

On request, we can draw the floor plans as true to the original as possible – for example, based on architectural data (CAD, dwg), existing images (PDF / image / vector graphic), or room dimensions and hand sketches.

These plans are created in vector format and allow unlimited zooming.

03 Is SemiChair a piece of software? +

No, SemiChair is a web-based tool that is simply used in the browser. From anywhere, even remotely. No installation on a device is required. The latest updates are available automatically.

Fast, simple, intuitive and always up to date!

04 Does the licence / price apply per employee? +

No. The licence is one-off and applies to the entire team – no matter how many people work on it. All team members can access SemiChair at the same time.

05 Can the seating plans be saved? +

Yes. In all packages, the plans can be saved in SemiChair and reloaded at any time. This means existing plans can quickly be used as a basis for a new event.

06 Can the seating plans be printed? +

Yes. The seating plans can be printed and exported as a PDF.

07 How does automatic furniture placement work? +

With the furniture configurator, almost all furniture can be arranged automatically in a grid. The number, spacing and rotation of the furniture can be defined. Even cinema seating with 300 chairs can be created in next to no time.

08 Can furniture be labelled? +

Yes. With the text function, furniture, areas or seats can be labelled. Text colour and background colour are freely selectable, as are classic formatting options such as font size, font style and text alignment. The text element can then be used like a piece of furniture (move, rotate, copy, etc.).

09 What are furniture placeholders? +

The furniture placeholders are freely configurable pieces of furniture (rectangle and circle). Custom dimensions allow you to represent any element, such as a stage, bar, dance floor, exhibition elements and much more.
