Guide

FitMySpace answers one question: will it fit? Here is how to get from a measured room to an answer you can trust.

Start

Quick check answers “will this one thing fit in that space?” without drawing anything: pick a garage, a storage unit, a truck or type a size, then pick the thing.
New project starts from a one- or two-car garage, a room of your size, or the sample garage, which has a few problems to look at.
Everything is free, with as many projects as you like. They are kept on your device.

Arrange things

Add opens the catalog: search it (“fridge”, “kayak”) or browse by category. Each thing is placed where it fits, if anywhere does.
Drag to move, from above or tilted in 3D. Things stop flush against walls and each other.
Select to see the gaps to the nearest wall or neighbour; tap a gap to type the one you want. The panel has its exact size and place, and resize handles appear on its sides.
Find a spot moves the selected thing to the nearest place where everything still fits; tap again for the next.
Two fingers pinch, twist and tilt the view. Undo undoes a whole drag.

The space things need

Things carry the space they need: a car’s doors and the room to get in, a freezer’s door, a tool chest’s drawers, a workbench’s working space, a car’s mirrors. Some need room above: a chest freezer’s lid lifting under a shelf, or a dog standing on a grooming table. A low ceiling, a shelf or boxes piled on top count. Solid lines must stay clear; dashed lines should.

Red is a conflict: something is in the way, and it doesn’t fit. Orange is a warning, and lighter tints are recommendations.
The summary spells out each problem, such as “SUV 2’s driver door is blocked by SUV 1”.
In a thing’s panel, under Space needed, turn a space off (mirrors folded), change its depth, or make it should-stay-clear instead of must.

Shape the room

Edit room: drag corners and walls, or tap a wall’s length to type it. Select a wall to split it, then drag a part out to make an L.
Select a wall to add a door, a window, a garage door or a roll-up door.
Add to room: a raised or lowered floor, a support post, or a foundation ledge along a wall. The ceiling height is there too.

Trace a floor plan

In Edit room, tap Picture and choose a photo, take one, or pick an image file.
Set its scale: tap both ends of a wall you know the length of, and type that length.
Choose Move the picture to line it up; turn it a quarter turn at a time.
Choose Trace walls and tap each corner in order, then the first again. Walls nearly square are made square.

The picture lies on the floor under everything, while arranging too; the Picture switch in the panel hides it. It is only a guide and never part of the fit.

Smallest storage unit or truck

In a project with the things you’re storing or moving, tap ⋮ and choose Smallest storage unit or Smallest moving truck. Choose what goes: things of a kind are one line, with how many of them; cars and fixtures such as a water heater start left out. FitMySpace packs them into the smallest standard size and opens the result as a new project, leaving yours as it was.

Boxes and totes are piled up to 6 ft, first on flat-topped furniture.
In storage nothing is opened, so doors and drawers don’t need room.
For a storage unit you can keep a 30″ walkway along one side.
Moving trucks have their wheel wells, a box against each side wall near the back door, and nothing is packed on them. Their sizes are typical, since rental companies don’t publish them: in the packed truck, Edit room moves or resizes them to match yours.
It is a careful estimate, not the tightest packing: a smaller unit might work if packed by hand.

Share a picture (⋮) makes a picture of the whole room with the verdict and its problems underneath.
Send project (⋮) makes one file with the project, your own things in it and its floor-plan picture. Open it on another device, or send it to someone else. Tap it in Mail, Messages, Gmail or Files and choose FitMySpace, or use Open a project file on the projects screen.

Your own things

Make my own, at the top of the catalog: type a name and its size, box or round.
Or resize anything and tap Save to my library in its panel.
Your own things can be given space to keep clear on any side, or above, from their panel. They are under My items in the catalog.
