Now tell me if you relate to this. You’re in the furniture store, and you see something you love but are not sure it will fit into your house. You might have a tape measure on you (you get extra points for this) but when you get home with your measurements what do you do?
Pull out your laptop and draw a floorplan? I doubt it. Or do you kind of clumsily try with your tape measure and your imagination to create a mental outline of the space the item will take? You might have thought to outline the shape of the said item of furniture with tape on the floor. But once it’s taped you can’t easily move it a bit to the left or right, or in a different position.
