: How to warp a group of points in a grid? Hi All, I need some guidance on how to properly warp a group of dots. I tried using the lower arc tool as well as the upper arc tool but

You could easily just apply a dashed stroke to a series of circles or ellipses.....



When done, expand and delete what you don't want.

Are the seat rows concentric circles?
I think you're going to have to start over.
Use the polar grid tool (under the line tool button). Don't drag/draw one, click on art board with polar grid tool selected and fill in fields: radial dividers: none, Concentric circle dividers: as many as you need for your rows of seats.

Center the mesh in the stadium or at the focal point of the seat rows. Preview the mesh so each line is on a row of seats and the same amount of curved.

Apply dashed line to the stroke of the lines, 50% radius, curved corners and adjust gaps until 1 dot is on each seat. Adjust size and gaps of the dots so they are more seat shaped if you want.

Erase the dots you don't need. Reapply your data to each seat. The whole section of seats/dots can be grouped, rotated and used in another part of the stadium.

I think a custom brush, applied to your rings/grid is probably the way to go, if you can't figure out a way to do it in the appearance palette using Transform.
