Not sure if anyone out there would be interested in this but at huge expense we've upgraded our design services. We're now doing 3D designs which are proving to be really popular for marketing and visualising what you will build before you get the contract.
Has helped a couple of key customers secure tenders where they speculatively pay for this to set their bids apart (mostly on the larger peachy contracts). What it can also do is provide a load list. This is a bit more sensitive as unless you build it as we draw it, it wouldn't be 100% accurate - but again, for tenders, it has been really useful to give no: of fittings, baseplates, soleplates, trannies & braces as these are all pretty regular size. It will give total meterage of standards and ledgers but individual lengths aren't reliable as you would tend to mix and match to suit what is available.
See the 3D section on our website for details.
