Introducing Performance Seating — audience seating in Revit, automated. 🎭

We're excited to launch Performance Seating, a new Autodesk Revit add-in built for designers of theaters, arenas, auditoriums, and live event spaces. Instead of manually placing, numbering, and coordinating hundreds of seats, Performance Seating does the heavy lifting for you — calculating seat quantities, widths, and positions along straight and curved row reference lines, and staggering layouts between rows to support alternating sightline requirements. All without using railing families! 😀

Every seat comes loaded with venue, section, row, and seat-number data, ready to drop straight into your Revit schedules and tags. And because designs always evolve, built-in tools let you replace seat types, respace rows, and update layouts after initial placement — all while preserving your row geometry and elevation alignment. Purpose-built families and placement tools mean less tedious coordination and more time for the design decisions that matter.

Compatible with Revit 2022–2026 (2027 to be released shortly) and ready to streamline your next performance venue project. Learn more and get started today. 👇

Every year, the virtual PBIM team comes together in person to talk, eat, and enjoy each others company in person. This year, we took a break from BIM standards and took a few hours to create stained glass pieces as instructed by our CEO Donna Prichard. Everyone did an amazing job!
