For the past 7 years, we've used SH3D to plan how we build espresso machines, where people sit, what the workflow will be. Over the years, we've expanded from 1 space of 2,000 square feet, and are now about to add another 10,000 sq feet to end with 40,000. 35 people work here.
The high quality 3D renders, and ease of the 2D models, allows me to sit down with people who work in the factory, and for them to visualize how the next plan will work. We *always* find mistakes in our planning, when we use the 3D view.
Sweet Home also makes the move much less stressful for people, because they've "seen" what the new space will be, and how they'll fit.
There's so much to think about, with engineering constraints, but human factors too, that and open process is the only way we've managed to do this.
Because SH3D is free, we also share the .sh3d file on social media, and invite collaboration/comments.
Anyway, just sharing, because my partner and I *love* SH3D, it's been an important factor in our little venture's success.
