Abstract. We define (α)n-regular sets in uniformly perfect metric spaces. This definition is quasisymmetrically invariant and the construction resembles generalized dyadic cubes in metric spaces. For these sets we then determine the necessary and sufficient conditions to be fat (or thin). In addition we discuss restrictions of doubling measures to these sets, and, in particular, give a sufficient condition to retain at least some of the restricted measures doubling on the set. Our main result generalizes and extends analogous results that were previously known to hold on the real line.
