New house and dedicated Arcade/Bar/Theater on the way
Vigo:
I didn't know you could pull in those models to chief architect. I will have to dust off my copy....that I totally paid the $2000 for. ;D

I'm jelly that you are getting a basement/cave. I'll be the loner that says he likes the walls separating the arcade and theater experience. On one row of seating though I would offer some form of a couch for, uhh, feeling cozy. I like nothing to distract me from my TV/movie experience so I would want the area sequestered. Plus I like the arcade feel of being pressed in tight, but your area did look pretty tight. Leave room on the bar for a popcorn machine.

Yeah....yeah...exactly.
You have to convert them to .OBJ models, there's a free plugin for Sketchup "OBJConverter" that I use to do it. Does an ok job, but I always have to resize the models when I import them. Bit of a pain but at least you can get it to work.

Good to know. Thanks!

Would be curious to see what a extended 2-room config looks like -- I personally dig the separate areas because it gives you more of an 'arcade' feel.
Maybe it'd be worth looking at doing the bar off to the side of the big screen? That way people sitting at the bar and swivel chairs to see the big one, but still feel like they're sitting at the bar -- and anyone working bar can see it too.
I agree with more casual seating if you're going one big open room. Couple big comfy couches, maybe a coffee table for people to set drinks/snacks on.
If anything though, I feel like the open room makes things feel more cluttered and the space feels smaller. Having distinct areas gives every square foot a job -- having it all shared makes it feel more like 'I threw a bunch of cool stuff into a room'.
Just my .02.
