Lay out a 606 Universal Shelving System on your own wall, or standing on X-Posts in front of it, and see what it would cost before you speak to Vitsœ.
Not sure where to start? Open one of the Examples and make it your own.
Check the date on your quote first: one made before a price change won't match today's list. Then look for anything this planner doesn't include:
One price isn't on the printed list: the fold-down door cabinet with lock, which is taken from vitsoe.com instead.
The planner needs three numbers: the width of the wall, its height from floor to ceiling, and how far the room runs out from it. Enter them under Space on the toolbar. The depth only has to be enough for what stands in front of the wall, and the planner won't let it be less. For how to measure, see Vitsœ's planning guide.
Click the wall to say what it's made of. It tells Vitsœ what the fixings go into, and on semi-wall X-Posts taken up to the ceiling a hollow wall adds a stabilising foot to each post.
If you're planning on X-Posts, measure your skirting too: how tall it is and how far it comes off the wall. Add it in the same place. On semi-wall it decides whether the X-Posts need short or long wall brackets; compressed, it decides how close to the wall the posts can stand.
Under Space, say too what the floor and ceiling are made of, and whether there's a cornice. On semi-wall X-Posts, whatever the wall, a floor that flexes when you jump on it adds a stabilising foot to each post. Wherever the posts go up to the ceiling, with Full height or compressed, a flexible floor or a plaster ceiling adds a stabilising foot to each post, and a cornice rules it out.
Vitsœ makes one set of parts for everyone, but prints their sizes separately for each part of the world, and rounds the inch sizes its own way. The planner shows each territory's sizes exactly as Vitsœ prints them there: centimetres in the United Kingdom, inches in the United States and Canada. So they match what you'll see in Vitsœ's own price list.
That means an inch size isn't always the centimetre size converted. The E-Track 200cm is listed in inches as 78 ½", where a calculator would give you 78 ¾". It's the same part; only the way its size is written differs.
In the United States and Canada, the measurements you enter yourself, like your wall and any obstructions, are shown to the nearest eighth of an inch.
Anything the shelving has to avoid: a window, a radiator, a doorway, a socket, a vent. Give it a name and five measurements: how far it is from the left, how far up from the floor, and how wide, tall and deep it is.
Depth matters on X-Posts. The system stands off the wall, so a shallow socket or radiator behind it can be clear. On the wall, anything the shelving covers is in the way, however shallow.
Vitsœ does recommend leaving a gap around some obstructions, such as radiators. See Vitsœ's planning guide for details.
The 606 Universal Shelving System supports four interchangeable structures: wall-mounted, semi-wall-mounted, compressed, and free-standing.
This planner does all four. Choose between them under Mounting in the Space menu, the box button on the toolbar over the wall.
The E-Tracks are fixed to X-Posts, which stand on the floor and are held a few centimetres off the wall by wall brackets. Because the system stands in front of the wall rather than on it, it can clear a skirting board, and components can hang in front of sockets or a shallow radiator.
The planner adds the wall brackets, and the cross rails that brace each bay, to your price for you.
Tick Full height under Semi-wall-mounted to take the X-Posts up to the ceiling as well, where they fix with a ceiling plate. The posts are then cut to your ceiling height, up to 350cm, and can't go up where there's a cornice. If the floor flexes, the ceiling is plaster or plasterboard, or the wall is hollow, the planner adds a stabilising foot to each post and tells you which of those it was.
The X-Posts stand between the floor and the ceiling and are held by being compressed between them, with no contact with the wall. It's for a space where there's no wall to fix to nearby.
The planner cuts each post to your ceiling height and adds its ceiling plate and the cross rails that brace each bay to your price. There are no wall brackets. Single-sided, a compressed X-Post can be at most 240cm; double-sided it can go taller (see below). Either way it can't go up where there's a cornice. If the floor flexes or the ceiling is plaster or plasterboard, the planner adds a stabilising foot to each post.
To move it out into the room, drag an E-Track towards you, or set From wall under Compressed in the Space menu. Dragging sideways moves it along the wall, as it does any system.
Standing clear of the wall, the system should carry medium loading at most, or light to medium with stabilising feet.
Yes, as a room divider. Tick Double-sided under Compressed in the Space menu. E-Tracks go on both faces of every X-Post, and shelves and cabinets can hang on either side. The back's E-Tracks mirror the front's, so they're priced twice.
Double-sided, the X-Posts can be taller: up to 350cm on a rigid floor under a solid ceiling, or 300cm where the floor flexes or the ceiling is plaster or plasterboard, with a pair of stabilising feet on each post. Load it evenly on both sides: medium loading at most, or light to medium on feet.
To work on the back, turn the view round behind the system. The wall, skirting and obstructions fade so you can click through them, and you place, select and move components on the back just as on the front. A component on the back reaches towards the wall, so the system has to stand far enough out for it. If it doesn't, the back tells you how far, and you can set From wall under Compressed.
Unticking Double-sided takes everything off the back, and undo puts it back. While the ceiling is over 240cm it stays ticked, because a single-sided system can't stand that tall.
For a space with no wall and no ceiling to fix to. The E-Tracks are fixed to H-Posts, a deeper post than the X-Post, and each H-Post stands on a pair of stabilising feet, one reaching out each side. It never touches the wall or the ceiling.
A free-standing system is always double-sided, so shelves and cabinets can hang on either face, and you work on the back by turning the view round behind it, as with a double-sided compressed system. It can be at most 191.5cm tall: a column of E-Tracks taller than that can't be free-standing. Load it evenly on both sides.
The planner adds the H-Posts, their feet and the cross rails that brace each bay to your price. To move it out into the room, drag an E-Track towards you, or set From wall under Free-standing in the Space menu.
It runs into an obstruction.
With a keyboard:
On a phone or tablet, everything these do is on screen instead.
Drag any E-Track sideways to slide the whole system along the wall. Every E-Track and everything on them moves together, and the space left on each side is shown while you drag.
Drag an E-Track up or down to move it on its own, if it can go, or otherwise the whole system with its shelves. On X-Posts the system can't go up or down: every E-Track starts at the foot of its post.
A compressed system can also come out into the room. Drag an E-Track towards you, or set From wall under Compressed in the Space menu.
Drag anywhere that isn't a component or an E-Track to turn the view. It goes all the way round the system, and from almost straight above to almost straight below. Behind the system, the wall and anything on it fade so you can see and click through them; underneath, the floor fades.
Right-drag, or Ctrl-drag, to move the view, and scroll to zoom. Double-click a component or an E-Track to look at it square on. Reset the camera on the toolbar takes you back to the front.
Yes. On a phone or tablet the wall fills the screen, and the controls for whatever you've selected open from the bottom.
Click one of the E-Tracks either side of it and choose Change bay width, or press M. At the end of a run it makes that bay the other width; between a narrow and a wide bay it swaps them. Everything in the bay changes to the matching width with it. A bay is always 66.7cm or 91.2cm between E-Track centres.
Click the shelf on the wall and choose under Orientation in the popup:
Pinboard is for the metal shelves only, and bookends go only on a shelf hung Standard. An orientation is greyed out when the shelf would run into something hung that way; hover over it to see what. A pinboard has nothing to stand things on, so Surface heights leaves it out and Gaps between components measures only the space below it.
Open Measurements on the toolbar and tick what you want drawn on the wall:
Overall size and Gaps between components are on to start with. Your choice is remembered in this browser; it isn't part of the link or the undo history. While you drag something, only the lines for that drag are shown, and a measurement of zero isn't drawn.
