Apologies if this is an easy thing to solve and therefore doesn't have any topics that cover it.

I use ACAD2012 and draw plans for space planning (for events and concerts and so on). I am normally requested to add people to the plans to show how a given number of people would fill the space.

Whilst doing an array of people and then moving them around works for small events, when I get requested to add 4000 people to a plan, it's quite tiring to make them look like they are randomly scattered and facing different directions.

I found a scatter lisp routine that works quite well to break apart an array randomly, and searching for another routine that rotates objects randomly. This would work, though with the scatter command it doesnt take into consideration the boundaries of a person i.e you get the odd person overlapping the next.

Is there one command that does scatter and rotate given a few parameters like distance to move apart etc. Or an add-in that populates building plans.

Failing that, does anyone know where I can find a rotate random lisp command?
