In a design supporting apparatus, a model shape inputting unit inputs data of a model designed by a CAD. A search component type designation receiving unit receives designation of a type of a component to be searched for. An attachable space range designation receiving unit receives designation of an attachable space range on the design model. An attachable space shape creating unit creates an attachable space shape from a shape of the attachable space range and a shape of the design model. A shape searching unit extracts a component that corresponds to the component type designated and fits in the attachable space shape created from a component shape database.
