DEVENT planning resources
Measuring a Venue for a Floor Plan
Gather the room, table and fixed-feature measurements needed for a useful event layout.
Measure the usable room
Request a venue plan and confirm its units. Check recesses, pillars, door swings and fixed bars on site. A simple rectangular boundary is a planning aid; it cannot represent every structural detail or establish permitted occupancy.
Use consistent dimensions
Convert metres to centimetres when entering item settings: a 1.8 m table is 180 cm. For round tables enter diameter, and keep table height separate from the floor footprint. Confirm dance-floor measurements with its supplier.
Worked example · illustrative details
A 12 m by 8 m room
Record the main room as 1200 by 800 cm, then note the fixed bar and entrance with the venue. A 180 cm round table takes its diameter from the table itself; add practical chair and circulation space when reviewing the layout.
