Use **Place objects along a line** when you need a repeating run of the same event object: fencing, cones, toilets, or barriers along a corridor. It is the event-plan equivalent of traffic **Bulk signs**. One-by-one placement stays in [Event objects, areas, and routes](/hc/test/articles/event-objects-areas-and-routes).

![Short object row on the park — individual objects visible; Place objects along a line is the last icon on the left stack, under Add text](https://hel1.your-objectstorage.com/traffic-chart-tutorials/helpcenter/en/event-plans/15-object-row-tool.png)

## When you need this

Use it for a measured row that follows a path. Skip it to drop a single tent or generator. Skip it on a **Traffic Plan** — that tool is **Bulk signs**.

You need an organization workspace. Personal accounts still see the control, but it stays disabled.

## Who can use it

The tooltip on a blocked tool is **Pro feature** and **You need an organization account to place objects along a line.**

Switch to an organization workspace such as **Acme Events** if that is where the tool is enabled. Paying to unlock unlimited traffic signs on one plan (**Paid**) does not turn this on. [Feature not available for my account](/hc/test/articles/feature-not-available).

Any account with event plans enabled for its workspace can use it.

## Place a row

1. Open the event plan and wait until the map is ready. Clicking too soon can toast **Map is not ready yet**.
2. Click **Place objects along a line** on the left map stack (under **Add text**).
3. The picker title is **Place a row of objects**.
4. Search with **Search objects...**. **Most used** is the short recommended list. **All objects** is the rest of the catalogue. Empty search: **No objects found.**
5. Click a type. The picker closes.
6. Click along the map to draw the line. Double-click to finish, or use **Continue line** later if leftover length remains.
7. Objects fill the line using the current **Spacing**.

![Picker titled Place a row of objects](https://hel1.your-objectstorage.com/traffic-chart-tutorials/helpcenter/en/event-plans/16-object-row-picker.png)

The row is one item. **Layers** lists it under **Object rows** (fallback name **Object row**). It is not a stack of unrelated **Event Objects**.

## Object row **Details**

Select the row on the map, or open **Layers** → **Object rows** and click the row. **Details** shows the type name (for example **Standing table**), a leftover line such as **79 objects, 0.5 m leftover**, then **Spacing**. If nothing is selected, **Details** says **Select an object, object row, area, line or text to view its details.**

### Spacing

**Spacing** is **How objects are placed along this line**.

| Mode | Field | Meaning |
|------|-------|---------|
| **From the end** | **Gap between objects (m)** | The gap between the edges of neighboring objects. **0** means they touch. Hint: **0 means neighboring objects touch.** |
| **From the middle** | **Distance between centers (m)** | Center to center. Hint: **Measured from the center of one object to the next.** |

**More information** opens the longer hint:

- **From the end:** **The value below is the gap between the edges of neighboring objects. 0 means they touch. The row starts at the beginning of the line; leftover length stays at the end.**
- **From the middle:** **The value below is the distance between the centers of neighboring objects. The row starts at the beginning of the line; leftover length stays at the end.**

The leftover line reads **12 objects, 3.4 m leftover** (your count and leftover metres). Use **Continue line** to extend from the leftover end.

### Each object

**Each object** is the size and look of every item in the row. The hint is **Size and look of every** plus the type name.

Change the type with **Change object**. That reopens the picker. **Rotate 90°** turns every object in the row.

### Break one object out

Select a single object in the row when you need it off the line (a gate, a gap, a different size).

- **Break loose** takes that object out of the row. It becomes a normal **Event Objects** item you can move on its own.
- **Keep in the row** cancels a break that has not committed yet.

You must select the row first. You cannot break an object loose while a different row is armed.

### Delete

**Delete row** removes the whole row. **Delete Object Row** is the same action from **Details**. It does not delete unrelated objects you placed one by one.

## Continue the line

**Continue line** pins to the leftover end. Draw further along the corridor, then finish. The row keeps the same type and spacing.

If you start a new row instead, you get a second **Object rows** item.

## What good looks like

- The tool was used from an organization workspace, not from **Personal**.
- The row follows the real fence or corridor, with leftover length you can see.
- **From the end** at **0** for a touching fence; **From the middle** when you care about centre spacing (toilets, bins).
- **Layers** → **Object rows** lists the run. Individual kit still lives under **Event Objects**.
- **Auto-save: saved** (or a finished **Save**) before you close the tab.

## If something blocks you

| Situation | What to try |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Pro feature** / **You need an organization account to place objects along a line.** | Switch workspace to an organization. [Feature not available for my account](/hc/test/articles/feature-not-available) |
| **Map is not ready yet** | Wait, then click the tool again |
| **No objects found.** | Clear **Search objects...**, or pick from **All objects** |
| Need a type that is not in the list | [Request a missing item](/hc/test/articles/request-a-missing-item), then keep drawing with the closest type |
| Want a PDF key of the row | Add the type to **Legend**: [Event plan legend](/hc/test/articles/event-plan-legend) |
