3D Space Plans

3D floor plans are useful for helping people who are not accustomed to looking at drawings every day to envision what a space will be like.  As a marketing and leasing tool,  3D will help leasing prospects imagine themselves in a space.

In an earlier post, we told you about a tool that we were trying out for web based space planning.  We are now looking at another tool that combines 2D space planning with 3D visualization.   Watch the video for a quick intro:


The tool we are using here is called Floorplanner - the same tool that was used to render the Mad Men office!   With a  Floorplanner model of your available space,  a visitor to your site can look at the space in 2D and 3D, they can also furnish the space and share their layouts with others.  It works right in the browser, so there's no need for any downloads or installations.

So, how does it work?

  1. First we take your as-built marketing drawing that we created during a site survey and we extrude it into 3D.
  2. The 3D model is available online and is linked from a hosted vacancy report or stacking plan.
  3. Visitors to the site can add and arrange furniture and then share and save their designs. 




Here's an embedded interactive version:





Try making your own space plan.  Go to suite 530 on the 234 Omed Ave. site and follow the 'Create your own space plan in 3D' link.
