Applications

Planning

Align sales, engineering, and operations around one planning model before detailed design begins.

Planning

Turn planning into a shared model

Planning pages need to help teams align before detailed engineering starts. confBuild keeps layout assumptions, option logic, dimensions, and handoff outputs in one model that sales, engineering, and operations can all review.

Model the space Represent footprints, clearances, service areas, and operational routes in 3D.
Connect assumptions Drive dimensions, modules, and rules from spreadsheet-friendly configuration logic.
Prepare handoff Turn a planning decision into structured outputs for downstream teams.
Configurable planning workflow with factory layout zones and handoff outputs

A planning workflow that avoids disconnected handoffs

Every planning decision stays attached to the model that produced it, so the next team receives more than notes and screenshots.

  1. 01
    Map constraints

    Capture available space, service zones, clearances, and required modules.

  2. 02
    Place configurable systems

    Assemble stations, cells, or equipment layouts from editable rules.

  3. 03
    Validate together

    Review fit, access, and option tradeoffs in shared 3D views.

  4. 04
    Export the package

    Send dimensions, snapshots, BOM context, IFC, DXF, or PDF-style outputs forward.

Planning

Planning built on editable configuration logic

Create layout-driven planning models that remain connected to dimensions, formulas, and downstream deliverables.

01

Layout-Driven Planning

Place stations, service zones, envelopes, and clearance areas in 3D to validate if a concept fits the available space and operational constraints.

  • Footprint validation
  • Clearance planning
  • Early clash awareness
02

Spreadsheet-Based Planning Logic

Drive sizes, rules, optional modules, and commercial assumptions from a spreadsheet model that everyone on the team can understand and update.

  • Excel-compatible formulas
  • Editable assumptions
  • Immediate 3D updates
03

Review-Ready Outputs

Share dimensions, option summaries, screenshots, and planning snapshots so stakeholders can make decisions without waiting for a full CAD package.

  • Dimensional summaries
  • Snapshot exports
  • Commercial handoff
04

Planning Exports and Handoffs

Prepare IFC, DXF, BOM, and PDF-style deliverables from the same planning model so downstream teams start with structured data instead of disconnected notes.

  • IFC and DXF outputs
  • Automatic BOM support
  • Cleaner downstream coordination
Outputs

Planning artifacts that downstream teams can use

The planning model becomes a coordination surface instead of a static slide deck.

Layout baseline A shared 3D representation of space, zones, modules, and assumptions.
Clearance checks Visual access, service, and movement envelopes before commitment.
Review snapshots Decision-ready images and dimensional views for stakeholders.
Structured exports IFC, DXF, BOM, and documentation-friendly handoff data.
Best fit

Best fit

  • Factory, building, and equipment layout planning
  • Internal scope alignment before engineering commitment
  • Review packages that combine 3D, dimensions, and option structure

Need cleaner planning handoffs?

Use one configurable model to align layout, options, and output expectations before detailed engineering takes over.
