How do I make the seats bigger?

The most common cause of student desks appearing too small on seating plans is that your classroom layout has too much empty space between desks. This means that the seating plan automatically zooms out to fit it all on screen (or on a print out).


You do not have to use all of the available space (shaded blue) when laying out your classroom. Any excess space around the sides will be automatically trimmed. Therefore, lay out your desks in a compact arrangement with minimal space between, and this will maximise the scale of your seating plans.
