Floor-plan scan reads row labels and seat numbers

Scan floor plan now reads the printed row letters and seat numbers as well as the seat positions, so scanned seats arrive already labelled. The reading runs in your browser with a self-hosted OCR engine (nothing is sent to a third party, no extra server cost) and only looks at the seats, the row ends and the aisles. Each row's numbering is inferred (consecutive, odd, even or odd/even from the centre, either direction, zero padding kept) and missing row letters are filled from the sequence. A review step shows what was read, flags the rows to check and lets you edit, accept or fall back to automatic labels before the seats land as one undo step.

Table layouts, foreground decorations and text styles in the designer

Tables get layouts and open spaces, a foreground layer draws decorations above the seats, text can be bold or italic, floors carry short abbreviations for tight floor pickers and seats a displayed type that buyers see in the tooltip. Number fields gain a drag scrubber, and the chart check now flags oversized images and duplicate labels across sections with the same name. A 3D seat-picking checklist decides whether buyers on defaultRenderer: "auto" pick seats in 3D.

Authored 3D venues

Give sections and zones an elevation and a rake, add stands, stack floors with their heights and place 3D tables, with a live 3D preview in the designer. The buyer viewer renders the result.

Row tools, layers and GA tables in the designer

Join, split and interleave rows, edit sections in place, work in layers, join areas, place GA tables, calibrate a reference image and let charts publish automatically.

Designer

Designer onboarding and a live chart check

One-click charts, inline rename, a start panel and a guided tour get new users drawing quickly. A live checklist finds problems as you draw, locates them on the map and blocks publishing when a severity says so.
