Lot Control

Anchor plan point 0,0 to a real latitude and longitude. Lot Control keeps optimizing in exact local feet, while this map projects the same bounds, gates, buildings, obstacles, rows, stalls, and calibrated blueprint onto the earth.

Load a plan image beneath the live lot, then calibrate it from a printed dimension. Large source drawings get a storage-safe working copy without changing their proportions. The image, alignment, visibility, and calibration travel with layout JSON.

On the plan: drag to move, drag the corner to resize (aspect stays locked), drag the dial above it to rotate. Hold Shift to snap resize to 5ft or rotation to 15°. Lock position turns off all three so tracing the boundary over it can't bump it out of place.

Drag a building on the plan to move it; drag its corner to resize. Hold Shift to snap to 5ft.

Light poles, islands, dumpsters, keep-clear lanes. Drag one on the plan to move it; drag its corner to resize. The dashed ring is its clearance buffer — the optimizer won't stripe a stall inside it. Set the type in this list to change the buffer.

Mapping a real lot: pick a feature, then click the plan or the map to drop one. The mode stays on so you can tap in every pole and tree in one pass — Escape or clicking the same button again turns it off.

Doors hang on a building wall and snap to the nearest one, so add the building first. Doors don't block parking — they pull. Drag a door along its wall, or onto another building entirely.

Bounds… ▸ Trace the perimeter (toolbar) then click the plan to lay boundary points; a live readout shows each segment's length in feet, and every finished edge stays labelled. Double-click (or click the first point) to close — the bounds must enclose every row and building already on the plan, or the close is refused with a message saying what's outside. Backspace undoes the last point while drawing. To keep drawing, click the green last point (or press Draw bounds again). Drag a vertex to reshape, Alt-click one to remove it; Remove bounds deletes the whole boundary. Gates are holes in the bounds — toggle + Gate on, then click each boundary line where an entrance is (drop as many as you like), then mark each gate IN, OUT, or IN + OUT; press + Gate again (or Esc) to finish. Optimize layout then fills the bounds with the most spaces that stay drivable from a gate.
