Re: 3d models for shop layout


 
Edited

David:
I have been on the same journey and looked everywhere for models. Finally, I got the dimensional drawings of most of the equipment I have, along with the equipment I will order. Then I drew the footprint of my shop building in Fusion (you can do in Sketchup too) and drew the outlines of each of the machines; pallet racks, etc. and extruded them to roughly their heights. While they are not true representations of the machines, etc., they are proportionally accurate representations in terms of size. I created each extruded cube as a separate body and labeled each one so I can move them around and determine accurate clearances, workflows, etc.? Not as pretty has having accurate models of my actual equipment, but I was more concerned in how to organize it efficiently to optimize placement in my shop.

Here is a link to my shop model in Fusion:

Attached is a screenshot w/the floorplan, machines in position, and the "naming tree" identifying the equipment.?
I hope this is helpful.
