Walkthrough#

This walkthrough guides you through a complete seat placement workflow using a sample Revit model provided as a separate download. Following these steps end-to-end is the fastest way to become comfortable with Performance Seating before applying it to a live project.

Download the Sample Model (R25)

The sample is a proscenium theater containing a front orchestra section (divided by a cross aisle into a front and rear orchestra) and a balcony at the second level. By the end of the walkthrough you will have placed, numbered, edited, and documented seats using all of the most common commands on the ribbon.

What you'll need#

  • Performance Seating installed and running in Revit
  • The sample Revit project (downloaded separately — see the next page)
  • About 30–45 minutes

What this walkthrough covers#

  1. Locating and downloading the sample model
  2. Setting up and initializing the project
  3. Placing your first rows of seats
  4. Working with seat numbers and seat sizes
  5. Replacing and updating seats after placement
  6. Documenting seats with tags and schedules

Tip

Each page builds on the previous one, but every page also stands alone if you only want to review a specific command. If you get stuck, the FAQ covers the most common placement issues.
