A grown-up blanket fort, drawn to scale
Fort to ScaleChairs, a sofa, a duvet cover and some clips - planned to fit you, drawn like a real job.
List what is in the room. The page picks the frame, sizes the span, works out the headroom and checks the fabric and the clips, then draws it all as an engineering drawing. The build notes print on the sheet.

1 What's in the room free
Furniture: width x depth x height in cm, height to the top of the back (chairs, sofa) or the top (table). Sheets and blankets: the two sides. Inches work with "in". A count like "3 Kitchen chairs", "Chair x4" or "| 10"; the bars are optional for a size, as in "Sofa 210x95x88". The kind comes from the name (chair, sofa, table, sheet, blanket, throw, cushion, clip, peg, books, lights) or a cell like "| sheet". You can drop a .txt or .csv file onto the box.
2 The page's plan free
3 The build notes metered
One run writes a headline, five notes for the drawing (frame, roof, walls, holders, inside), a fix and a safety line. It never changes the page's verdict or sizes, and the page checks every note against its own plan.

How the page plans it
The frame. A sofa with a row of chairs facing away from it, two rows of chairs facing away from each other, or a table. The roof sheet goes across the tops of the backs (or over the table). The page tries each frame the list allows and keeps the one that fits everyone; ties go to more places, then more floor, then sofa and chairs, two rows of chairs, table.
The span is the smallest, in 10 cm steps, that gives everyone a place: about 60 x 60 cm sitting up, 60 x 110 cm lounging, 60 cm by the tallest height lying down - estimates. Past 240 cm a sheet will not stay up, so it stops there. A sheet pulled across with about 3 cm of slack dips by the curve of a hanging cloth, so the headroom at the middle is the average of the two tops less the dip. Sitting up needs your seated height (90 cm if blank), lounging about 70 cm, lying down about 45 cm - estimates.
Fabric and holders. The roof sheet needs the span plus 15 cm tucked over each row, and the depth. The two ends (or a table's four sides) need closing, less a 60 cm door; a wall sheet counts if its short side reaches from the top to about 10 cm off the floor. A clip every 50 cm along each row, plus two for each wall sheet; books count on flat tops.
The verdict, checked in this order: not enough room or headroom - rethink the frame; else the roof sheet too small or walls left open - more fabric; else fewer clips than needed - more clips; else build it.
Safety. Nothing hot under the fabric: no candles, heaters or hot bulbs - battery or LED lights only. Keep the door end clear, never hang fabric from shelves or lamps that could tip, and never climb on the frame. A planning aid, not professional advice.
