Office landscape - Crowd chair placement

Hi.

I am doing a office illustration, and in that regard i tought it be cool with some life and activity in the scene.
Using Iclone8 i am thinking about the crowd abilities.

What would be the best way to populate all the desks/chairs with people?

Right now i am doing it manualy. Placing, rotating, chaging character and changing animation so they are all different. But there should be a better way? no?

Scatter formation gets me close. But only for one set of desks, the ni need to do it overagain on the other side of the room and so forth.

If there was a way to just place the scatter points myself. And then use the crowd tool to do the random actor and random animation part. That would atleast leaviate alot of back and forth in the content browser.

Hope the question was understandable.
Cheers.

Check the user manual section re: Actor Groups. As long as you keep the chair/desk spacing the same for each group, this method should work to randomize actors and motions.
