StorePlan turns DXF surveys into self-storage layouts
A browser-based tool that arranges storage units and corridors in a DXF floor plan, then exports a layout, unit schedule and materials take-off.
- For
- Self-storage designers working from DXF surveys
- Worth noticing
- Its example layout reports 1,319 m² of storage area, 113 units, 73.6% efficiency and a 33.2 m longest escape route.
Field notes
The described workflow begins with a closed storage-area outline on a layer named STORAGE AREA; users then mark fire exits and doors into other spaces before setting corridor width, unit depth and unit mix. The example output includes 10,445 ft² net lettable area, and the page says drawings can be returned in the survey's original coordinates and units. StorePlan labels itself an early preview and says its escape checks do not replace fire strategy or building-control approval.
