Powerful CAD Software for Designing Parking SitesParkCAD® is an advanced CAD software that gives users the right tools to design parking layouts quicker and smarter than traditional CAD methods. With powerful layout optimization and editing tools, users with minimal training can design parking layouts that conform to regulations and increase your team’s productivity.

Generate LotsParkCAD takes seconds to lay out parking rows and aisles within a closed boundary. Individual rows can be made from lines, arcs or by selecting endpoints. Define exclusion areas where parking will not be generated, i.e. structures and roads. Easily choose between the default setting dimensions or set your desired dimension and size of stalls, islands, aisles, and symbols.
Multiple Parking StandardsRegional design guidelines ensure conformity to regulations. For your convenience, we have incorporated design standards that conform to regional design guidelines from over 20 jurisdictions around the world.
Accessible ParkingAdd accessible parking based on guidelines and vehicle type based on your lot’s needs. Receive up-to-date stall counts along with the number of accessible stalls ensuring regulations are met.
Optimize ParkingFind which row layout and rotation produce the maximum parking spaces within a parking boundary. Choose from a list of different solutions. Save and compare various iterations and develop the best layout option for detailed design.
Create Custom Parking StallsEasily define and mark different types of specialized parking stalls, such as valet parking, police, taxi/bus stands, and shopping cart corrals, with either default or customized symbols. These types of custom stalls are reported separately from standard stalls for cost estimation. Your parking rows can contain different types of stalls.
Easy Editing ToolsChange your row length by dragging end points or change the angle of your parking stalls in your row with a click of a button. Place parking around other objects such as buildings or roadways by defining the outer parking boundary and selecting one or more areas where parking is excluded.
Vehicle Entrance and FlowChange the location of your entrance to your parking lot and see how your layout and your numbers of stalls change – easily edit and add extra entrances. Add traffic flow arrows to determine the direction of vehicle movement for either one-way or two-way traffic.
Maximize Your Space EfficientlyRemove oversized drive aisles and minimize the paved surface area by updating the lot’s perimeter boundaries and reducing the parking site footprint. This allows the user to leave room for landscaped areas.
Center PathsDistribute underused aisle space by adding center walkways or landscaped areas between parking rows to increase safety for pedestrians.
Visualize Vehicle MovementsEasily visualize vehicle movement – see vehicles enter, circulate around aisles, access parking stalls, and exit the parking lot, or just use the arrows to visualize vehicle movement within the parking lot.
Reporting and ComparisonSelect groups of parking rows and lots to calculate the current stall count and the percentage and number of accessible parking stalls. Compare designs or develop staging or phasing options with our convenient feature that can save, update, and load multiple design iterations of a parking layout in a single drawing.
Quantity Takeoff ReportingLengths, areas, and quantities for all ParkCAD objects in the layout can be calculated and reported. These items can then have assigned pricing providing total costs and costs per stall estimates. All of these options are easy to use and update.
PresentationUse realistic paint line widths, and add arrows, symbols, curbs and patterns from an extensive library of parking area-related CAD blocks and hatches.
