Measure the usable space

Will the terrain fit the table—and the case afterward?

Test a terrain module against measured table and storage openings. See the best whole-module grid, tile count, chosen quarter-turn, covered area, remaining clearance and any failed dimension.

Quick answer

A measured fit check for the table and the trip home

With the example values below, a 60 × 40 × 10 cm terrain module fits after a quarter-turn. It becomes 40 × 60 cm, fits once on a 45 × 70 cm table with 2 cm of edge clearance on every side, and covers 76.2% of the full table area. A stack of two modules needs 20 cm of height and fits through a 45 × 65 × 22 cm storage opening with 1 cm of horizontal clearance.

Replace those defaults with the narrowest measured table space, shelf, case or vehicle opening you actually have. The result uses complete rectangular modules only, so it will not claim that a partial tile or an overhanging piece fits.

What the terrain fit check answers

Table layoutFind the best whole-module grid in the original orientation or after a 90-degree turn, including unused width and depth.
Storage clearanceCheck the rotated footprint and total stack height against a measured box, shelf or vehicle opening.
One clear failureSee whether width, depth, table height, storage height or stackability prevents the plan from working.

How the calculation works

The checker subtracts the table-edge clearance from both sides of the table width and depth. It then compares the original module footprint with a quarter-turned footprint, when rotation is allowed, and selects the orientation that fits the most complete modules. Coverage is the area of those whole modules divided by the original table area, so the percentage still reflects clearance strips around the playable layout.

For storage, the same selected module orientation must pass through the measured opening. Horizontal storage clearance is reserved on both sides. Required height is the module height multiplied by the stack count, and the result reports the remaining width, depth and height. It models one uniform vertical stack; it does not assume diagonal insertion, compression, mixed orientations or irregular packing.

Measure before entering dimensions

Measure the usable opening, not the outside of a case or shelf. Include handles, lid lips, foam, door frames and anything else that narrows the path. For a table, reserve enough edge clearance for dice, rulers, player movement or a raised frame. Enter the tallest assembled point of a terrain module rather than the nominal wall height.

If a module has fragile trees, antennas or removable roofs, use the largest safe transport height. Run separate checks for different module sizes instead of averaging them. A passing result is a planning aid based on the measurements supplied; confirm a physical test fit before transporting finished terrain.
