If your venue already has an existing seating chart, you can upload it into SimpleTix. 

This allows you to automatically calibrate the seating sizes and overlay it into your floorplan.

See below for steps:

1. Drop an image or upload a file into the Reference Chart area.

• This will allow you to overlay customizable seats on your image.

2. Once uploaded, you'll be prompted with a calibration pop-up.

This will automatically adjust the size of your seating overlay based on your uploaded image.

3. Click on Next to proceed.

4. Center your image to where you can clearly see a set of seat rows. Use the Zoom option to zoom in or out. Drag the image to adjust the focused area.

5. Once you have a clear view of a set of seats, click Next.

6. Click on the center of one seat to place a circle. This will represent the size of the seats.

7. Increase or decrease the seat size so the circle completely overlaps the seat.

8. Once you have the proper size, click on all other seats within the same row. 

• This will place the same-sized circle on each of the seats.

9. Once you have the entire row covered, click Next.

10. You'll now get an option to readjust all the circle sizes to match your uploaded chart.

11. Once you're satisfied with the sizing, click Next.

12. On the next screen, click on the next row to overlay a second set of circles. 

• This will calibrate the spacing from one row to the next.

13. Once done, click Next.

14. You'll get a prompt that calibration was completed. Click Done.

15. Your reference chart will now appear in the canvas and you can overlay the calibrated seats.
