®Two people need two different things from a bathroom design.
The fitter wants the plan: wall lengths, setting-out, where the waste goes, the door swing, the height of the bulkhead. The dimensions.
The customer wants to see their bathroom. Not a technical drawing. The room, the tiles, the finish, the light.
Traditionally that meant two drawings, or a plan for the job and a “pretty picture” made separately, which drifts out of date the moment something changes.
One design, two views
In KBB Go there are two screens, and one toggle switches between them:
- 2D Plan: the room, the boxing in, where everything sits, and the tiling. Dimension lines run round the outside, with the room size and ceiling height across the top. There’s a measure tool and leader notes for anything the fitter needs to know.
- 3D View: the same room to look at and light. Preset views (iso, top, front, rear, left, right) snap the camera into place, and walls fade when the camera passes through them so you can see in.
Change the vanity in one and it’s changed in the other, because it’s the same design.
Why it matters in the meeting
The customer sees the room in 3D while you talk. When they ask for a change (“can the vanity go on the other wall?”), you make it, and the fitter’s plan updates with it. There’s nothing to redraw later, and the plan the fitter gets matches what the customer agreed to.
A tip for the fitter’s drawing
Hide the dimensions when you want the whole screen for the room, then switch them back on before you send the plan. Use leader notes for anything the drawing can’t show on its own, like a valve depth or a “tile to here”.
Lighting is part of the design
The 3D view has lighting controls (time of day, brightness, cool to warm) and they’re saved with the design. If you warm a room up for a customer, that’s how they’ll see it next time too.
