Hello all,
We got a new car a week ago, and we are struggling to find the best way to park it in the company garage, no parking slots defined (no painting on the floor), two cars till the last week parked there, now three cars must be parked.
Everybody is open to move the cars.
Do you know of any free solution to find te best position for the three cars given car sizes, the garage size, columns placement and garage door size and placement? Does something like that exist?
Thank you all!

For only 3 cars, I would just get a copy of the architects' drawing for the garage, cut out paper to scale to represent the cars, and see if they can be made to fit without overlap. If you can't spot a good arrangement by eye, I wouldn't risk parking 3 cars in there.
Why spend time and effort on learning a new software package?

Yeah or a whiteboard with magnetic tiles cut to car-size in scale
Or a can of paint, for the floor.

You will need to know all of the turning radii in addition to the length/width.
Just because cardboard cut-outs might fit, doesn’t prove that you could actually maneuver the cars into those positions.
Consider back-in versus pull-in as the turns and entry/exit for the driver will be different. (In other words, consider passengers’ doors almost touching)
When moving the various cut outs around, be sure to make the appropriate motor noise out loud.😛

Biggest issue you will have is the ability of said drivers to actually execute the parking layout plan you come up with.
For Example, I have a 3 car garage. I can get all my tools and 2 cars plus, I can get my truck into my garage and get out of my truck. But no one else in the family could do it. There is less that 2 inches of clearance front to back and on one side.
Good luck.

I'd wager that it took more time to compose your post than it would have just parking the cars. Why does everything have to be software-ized?

This. A million times this. I honestly can't tell whether OP is being serious or not.
And just because some software says X number of cars should fit in Y amount of space (based on some calculations performed using N number of variables as input, where any of which could be based on inaccurate measurements), doesn't mean all drivers involved are good enough to get their own car in and out without tearing into another car.
Frankly, if parking is that tight, it's time to look elsewhere.

That might be confusing optimal with best.
From the intellectual (ok really emotional) point of view you probably want the new car 'behind' the older ones. That way when a car is sticking out, which I suspect is going to happen, and it gets clipped then it won't be the new one.
The other solution of course is just to sell one of the older cars.

You can fit a lot more cars if you just abandon the requirement that the driver should be able to get out of the car.
(In my childhood car vacation, one of the reasons why drivers/passengers were not allowed to remain in the car on the ferry deck was that the cars were packed so densely that no car door could be opened. The ferry was filled right-to-left, and emptied left-to-right. Passengers had to leave the car before bordering, and walk ashore at the destination.
If you introduce a policy of when who is allowed to park, you might get to something resembling the ferries of my childhood,

today I get a task to record attendees for our team meetings. almost 40 people potentially across different dept.
WE use Microsoft team meetings to host our meetings.
Do we have a quick way to count how many people attend this meeting?
