CAN I ONLY CREATE VAN AND BUS TEMPLATES?
The simple answer is NO! You are not confined to only creating vehicle templates. The more in-depth answer is, how creative would you like to be?
When creating a custom template, you can choose not to add a wheelbase and front cab, leaving you with a base template to build on. Once you have created your basic template, you can keep it simple or get creative!

CREATING SIMPLE DESIGNS
In this example of a basic tiny home, the main structure doesn't need curves or sloped walls, just a roof that can be added later.
So now we have the beginnings of a layout using items from the Furniture Library, but we will need an upper level, maybe a loft bedroom?
We are going to need some 3D shapes, and the grid will also come in useful to place our new floor at the right height.
We know the template's width as we entered that dimension when we were creating it, which is helpful when using the plane 3D shape, and inputting the measurements needed to create an upper level.
And there we have it, a very simple tiny house layout created using the custom template generator, furniture items and 3D shapes.
MORE DETAILED DESIGNS
There is no real secret here; you only need your imagination with the custom template generator, items from the Furniture Library, 3D shape, transparent textures and the software features.
In this example, the base template created was pretty small, and the rest of the structure was built up and around using 3D shapes and mixtures of transparent and solid textures.

Custom design by SPI - Surveillance, Protection & Investigation
Add slopes and curves when creating your custom template.
You may prefer to keep the template simple and build around the frame; however, sloped and curved walls and roofs can also be created.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DESIGN?
- Shipping containers
- Sheds and outhouses
- Trailers
- Horseboxes
- Pretty much anything!
WHAT ABOUT CARAVANS RV's AND MOTOR HOMES?
Yes! As long as you understand that you will have to be more creative than most users as 3D shapes are going to be your very best friend.
Once you have created your basic template, could you start building the exterior frame with the shapes? In this example, almost everything that you see is a 3D shape, including the wheelbase!

WHAT ABOUT MOBILE BUSINESSES?
Yes, these too. In fact, we have many users out there creating the following that we know of
- Beauty salons
- Removal lorries with box placement plans
- Dog groomers
- Food trucks
- Mobile bars
- Mobile libraries
- Mobile offices
Whilst the items within our Furniture Library are geared towards van conversion, all are adaptable, so you will find them useful for your own business design.
Add in the 3D shapes and multiple material options, and creating that stainless steel operating table or a double fryer with bain-marie is totally doable!
