U-Shape Conference Table and Seating Row

About this block

A U-shaped table is built from rectangular modules with twelve square chairs set around the outside, four down each arm and four across the foot. Above it, quite separate from the table, runs a row of eight padded seats with rounded backs and armrests, the sort used in a screening room or a lecture theatre. One block, rww, holds all of it: 85 entities including twenty nested chair inserts, drawn 4.12 by 3.80 units in metres.

The conference chair definition measures 609.6 mm square, which is exactly 24 inches, and it is nested at a scale that brings each seat into the plan at about 0.55 m. That is the giveaway that the chairs came from an imperial catalogue and the table from a metric one. The assembled group covers roughly 4.4 by 5.9 m including the seat row, so a training room of 6 by 7 m takes it with circulation left over.

Split the two halves before you use either: explode the outer insert once, then move the seating row onto a separate layer so a conference layout does not carry eight cinema seats it never needed. The U-table modules are drawn as separate rectangles, so lengthening an arm means copying one module rather than stretching the whole table. Rotate the group as a unit, since it arrives turned 270 degrees.
