All About Our 3D Builder Tool
Visualizing what your structure will look like without seeing it with all the upgrades and customizations can be difficult. Using our 3D Builder will make not only the ability to visualize your structure easier, but also the quoting and ordering process as well. With the ability to test out colors, interior styles, and more, the 3D builder is a great tool to create different options and get quotes on your exact design from our sales team.
What Is The 3D Builder & How Do You Use It?
To locate the 3D Builder, find our website’s navigation section (where all our product categories are listed) and select “3D Visual Builder”. The 3D Builder is a tool that you can use to visualize your dream structure, see what upgrades are available, test out colors, sizes, interior details, and tons more. The best aspect of this builder is that you can submit your design to our sales team, which will be explained further below.
The 3D Builder offers tons of customizations for several structures, but all customizations are based on the structure you chose. This means that when building a shed or garage, you may have different options than when you are customizing a pool house or greenhouse. These customization categories are on the right side of the 3D Builder and include style, size, doors and windows, colors, interior, framing, and details. The style category deals with the structures and possible roofing and siding materials that can be customized on the 3D Builder, and the next category, size, will adjust the sizes based on which structure you select. Doors and windows can be selected and moved around the structure to see where they would fit best.
The most fun customization category, colors, allows you to choose several color options for the siding, trim, shingles, doors, window frames, and shutters, depending on the structure chosen. Interior styles have a few options, like a workbench or shelves, while flooring has default options and a bit of customization to look through. You can view the specifics of your build under the details category on the right side, or in the top section to see what features are included in your structure. When adding windows, doors, workbenches, etc., you can move them to where you would like them placed on the structure. You can also zoom in and out and move the structure around using your cursor or finger, if on mobile, to see the sides, front, back, and even top of the structure.

Recently graduated from college, I take advantage of having more free time and spend those moments catching up on my love of reading, brainstorming ideas for design projects, and spending time with my family, friends, and furry companions. I have two Golden Retrievers that are complete opposites, one who has enough energy to run three marathons a day if he could, and the other who would be happy to stay in bed all day! I might relate a bit more to the later but am always up for an adventure.
