Measuring guide / 01
Build your plan
from the inside out.
Use one unit system as you measure. A rectangular sketch needs two inside dimensions, each opening’s position, and the full outside footprint of the furniture.
1. Measure usable inside lengths
Measure between the inside faces of the walls at furniture level. Repeat at more than one point if the walls are uneven. Use the smallest useful dimension for a cautious rectangle. Alcoves, radiators and columns require separate checks; this prototype does not model an irregular outline.
2. Locate every opening
For the top and bottom walls, measure from the left corner to the start of the opening. For the left and right walls, measure down from the top corner. Measure the opening width separately. Note which side a door is hinged on and whether it opens inward or outward.
3. Measure the whole furniture piece
Include the bed frame, headboard, handles and anything else projecting past the body. A mattress width is not the same as the complete bed width. For a desk, measure the worktop and legs, then decide how much space you need to pull out your own chair.
4. Check in person before committing
Mark a proposed footprint on the floor with removable tape. Open doors and drawers. Check the carrying route and ceiling/window heights yourself; these are outside the planner’s local checks.
Take your measurements into the planner
Enter centimeters, measured inside the room and outside the bed frame. This only prepares a project; it does not check doors or access routes.
