Converts selected stalls to accessible parking stalls of the user's choosing and gives recommendations as to how many accessible stalls are required for selected designs, lots, and/or rows based on the current accessibility standard and stall layout (See Design Parameters -> Accessibility Standards).

Depending on the complexity of your drawing it may be beneficial to set up designs before using the Accessible Parking tool. Accessible Parking will take into account all lots and rows associated with a design when the design symbol is selected. Selecting a design is easier than selecting each lot and/or row that you want to add Accessible Parking to. However, it may also be desirable to select one or more lots and/or rows in addition to one or more designs. See Tools -> Design Manager.

Accessible Parking can be used in the following ways:

• Quick Method (does not take Accessibility Standards requirements into account)

• Requirements Method (ensures Accessibility Standards requirements are met)

• Remove Accessible Parking Stalls
