3D configurator
Real-time 3D configuration
Pick a model and start changing options — size, colour, fabric, motor, lighting, accessories. The 3D model rebuilds live as you choose. Engineering constraints (spans, loads, motor reach) are enforced automatically, so every configuration is buildable.
- Live 3D — no plugin, no install.
- Engineering rules applied automatically.
- Instant accurate pricing on every change.
- Works on phone, tablet and desktop.
Planner
Plan layout and dimensions
Set exact width, depth and height. Place posts where they need to go. Account for an existing wall, sloped ground, a door, a chimney. Choose metric or imperial units. Fit-to-space stays accurate to the millimetre.
- Precise dimensional input.
- Span and load limits enforced live.
- Metric or imperial units.
- Post positions, openings, attachments.
Visualizer (AR)
See it on your home before you buy
After configuring, the simulator generates a QR code. Scan it with your phone and the configured product appears at true scale on your patio. Walk around it, photograph it, share it. No app install required.
Instant quote
Branded PDF quote — instantly
Every configuration produces a branded PDF with renders, dimensions, full spec and price. End-customers receive it in their inbox; installers receive the same configuration as a qualified lead with full order spec in their CRM.
For installers & manufacturers
The same 3D simulator embeds on your website as a white-label sales channel. Your catalogue, your prices, your brand. Every configuration becomes a qualified lead with model, dimensions and options.

3D simulator FAQ
- What is the Configurix 3D simulator?
- It's an online 3D simulator that lets homeowners, dealers and installers configure outdoor products — pergolas, verandas, awnings and AC enclosures — in real-time 3D, plan dimensions, preview them on the actual installation site via AR, and receive a branded PDF quote. One tool covers configuration, planning, visualization and quoting.
- Is the 3D simulator free to use?
- Yes. The end-customer 3D simulator is free — anyone can configure a product, see it in 3D and request a quote at no cost. Installers and manufacturers pay for the white-label platform that powers it (catalogue, pricing rules, CRM, lead routing).
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes. The 3D simulator runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet and desktop. AR preview uses the phone's camera; no app install is required.
- Can I plan exact dimensions and layout?
- Yes. The planner accepts precise width, depth, height and post-position inputs in metric or imperial units. Engineering constraints (maximum spans, motor reach, load limits) are enforced as you change values, so every plan stays buildable.
- How does the AR visualizer work?
- After you configure a product, the simulator generates a QR code. Scanning it opens the configured 3D model in your phone's camera at true scale — walk around it, place it on your patio, take a photo and share it.
- Is this design software for professionals or end-customers?
- Both. End-customers use the 3D simulator as a self-service design and quoting tool. Installers and manufacturers embed the same simulator on their website as a white-label sales channel and use the back-office for catalogue, pricing, CRM and order handover.
- Can I export the design or quote?
- Yes. Every configuration produces a branded PDF quote with renders, dimensions, full spec and price. Installers also get the order spec exported to their CRM and order pipeline.
- How is this different from SketchUp or AutoCAD?
- CAD tools are blank canvases — you draw everything from scratch. The Configurix 3D simulator is product-specific: it ships with real manufacturer catalogues, enforced engineering rules, instant accurate pricing and a buildable spec. Use CAD when you need a custom drawing; use the simulator when you need a quote for a real product.
