Overhead: Make Room.
Place lifts, vehicles and equipment, rotate items and check door swing areas. Combine bays or extensions to reflect your garage’s shape. Planning sections do not establish where structural walls can be removed.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR PLAN
Plan From Every Angle.
Front & Side: Look Up.
Choose Full Garage to see every section together, or focus on an individual room. Front and side views project the layout onto one plane, so sections behind one another can overlap. Confirm each section’s actual clearances.
Set the Lifting Height.
Add your vehicle to the lift and adjust the lifting height. Four-post vehicle tires sit at runway height. For two-post lifts, vehicle rise equals effective contact height minus Floor to Vehicle Underside. The five-inch truck adapters raise the modeled contact height by 5″. Place a vehicle under a four-post lift to check clearance. Confirm actual lock settings, arm contact, tire support and loading.
Keep the Door in the Plan.
Single, double, standard and high-lift options are editable starting examples. Measure the open door, tracks, opener and full movement path. A high-lift conversion needs its own hardware and clearance checks.
