Thanks everyone!

If you look at the attached, these are the kinds of roof structures I'm trying to create. NEED HELP!!
I've been all over youtube and nothing comes close.

Thanks in advance!
 

Didn't even think of that. I did think of wheelchairs... but not how the get to their destination. Thanks.

Thanks, I used Alaska_Son's method, however I'll be studying your arched AND stepped stairs/floor for the base, but those angles are sons of *******... 

I might just do what you did first - and THEN do the seats. It's okay, I have fun trying different methods.

THANKS ALL!!
Here's the progress thus far.

Thanks EVERYONE! ALL Suggestions are great. AND THEY WORK.. (just took ME some time)
See you all when I come back.

No, not spline.

 

Select Build... Distributed Objects...Polyline Distribution Path.

Draw a single straight line.

Convert to a curve (Change Line/Arc on the Edit menu). 

Open it's dbx and select and configure your seats. 

 

Change arc as needed.

What version are you using? I don't see that option under the Edit Menu.

Here is my test plan that you can check out for settings if you like. And practice distributing chairs with.

I studied the floor up close. More beautiful than I thought at first glance. You did a great job with the overhang and separate "units" I guess you'd say? I like that the floor can be a different color than the steps in-between them. Awesome job!  

I made this video a little while back for a different situation but it may help you nonetheless. I'm think instead of the spline I would use a polyline.

THANKS so MUCH!!!

Only question now is how do I "ungroup" it so to speak? 

 

Everyone here has been super awesome by the way!

Thanks 

Chopsaw,

That's fantastic. Did you distribute manually or on a path?

Did you use a Distributed Path for the seats?

 

So I'm guessing Spline? 

Still messing around with the distribution path.  Ahhh it sucks being a beginner!  

Did you use a Distributed Path for the seats?

No, that was the exact option I'm looking for! I'll dig around for a while.

That's looks great to

Y

es I'm looking for more of a "perfect" way to place the seats. I'm working with 8

Floor seems easier, but definitely the seats.

 

What specifically are you having trouble with?

 

The floor, seats etc.

 

This is a series of slabs. Do one, then transform replicate the others.

Seats

I have a question about seating (arched - see attachment) 
I've been trying this for a while (manually) and was wondering if anybody knows how to do this more precise and easier... well at least more accurate than I can do.

 

The attachment is not mine, but it gives you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.

 

Thanks in advance.
