vanspace 3D: 3D design software for camper van layouts

vanspace 3D is a desktop application for Windows and Mac developed by vanspace B.V. that allows you to create 3D floor plans for van and bus conversions. The tool is designed so users can bring their conversion ideas to life, compare them, share them, and make them easier to build without any prior 3D design experience.

How it works and key features

The program works with a drag-and-drop editor that lets you select components, resize them, move them, and adjust details until you achieve a suitable layout. It includes over 400 pre-built furniture components and customizable design elements. Users can choose colors and materials, and compare different layouts and furniture side-by-side using accurate vehicle templates.

The application includes a first-person view that lets you walk through the interior of the van to spot problems before starting construction. Designs can also be exported to share with friends, start work, or hand over to a builder.

Five-step design process

The workflow proposed by vanspace 3D consists of five stages:

• Choose your van from over a hundred available templates or enter the vehicle's internal measurements to create a custom model.
• Drag and drop furniture components to build living, sleeping, working, and storage spaces.
• Customize the layout by resizing furniture and adding colors and textures.
• Take a first-person tour to experience the interior and make any necessary changes.
• Export the design to share it or hand it over to a builder.

Compatibility and requirements

vanspace 3D is a desktop application compatible with Windows and Mac. It works with any van or bus, either from predefined templates or by entering custom measurements. No prior 3D design knowledge is required.
