You might say thats a nice idea, but if you don't have a real person in a wheelchair you can scrap your blue prints, because I know people with lardger sized wheelchairs. Screw that with the hospital type manual wheelchair. If I've so much as got a sports wheelchair with a wider disign with the wheels at an out ward angle it's back to the drawing board, and not all wheelchair will fit under the sink the same way.

Wheelieblind, Your comments are ever so true! The Visualizer Set is based on a national standard for a footprint of a wheelchair, 30"w x 48"L. Minimum standards mean maximum to most design professionals and planners which is the reason for inventing this design tool. The Visualizer is designed to encourage the professional to provide more maneuvering space to accommodate the various equipment types coupled with the users abilities.

@123axeman Then maybe you can try to use words instead of verifying but say minimally accessible. My words are not so clear, but, also have chair options. I use a tilt recline chair, a certain angle is necessary or I seize. So, I am blocked so often. Give variations. Wheelieblind is right, this may make things worse.
