A client design center for every project

A private web page where your client sees the room in 3D, switches the finishes you offer and watches each choice change the model.

What it is

A Coffered design center is a private web page for one project. It shows the 3D model of the room next to a list of selection categories. When your client picks an option, the surface it belongs to changes in the model: the floor, the cabinet doors, the counters, the wall paint. The kitchen remodel Coffered was built around had nine categories: flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, appliances, walls, trim, lighting and furniture.

The problem it solves

Clients choose finishes from photos, sample boards and PDFs, then try to picture them together in a room they have only seen as a plan. Each piece answers part of the question. The design center puts the option on the actual wall, in the actual room, next to its price.

How it works

Upload the model

Export a GLB from SketchUp Pro, a DAE from Chief Architect or an FBX from Blender. Coffered scans the file and converts it to one compressed GLB that loads in a browser.

Tag the surfaces

Mark which parts of the model are the floor, the cabinets, the counters and the walls. Each tagged surface becomes a slot that options can change.

Bind the options

Each option sets the material of its slot, or swaps in a different model, such as a pendant or a range. Save the camera views your client should start from.

Publish

Publishing freezes a version. Your client sees exactly what you published, and you can keep working on the next version.

What your client sees

  • The room in 3D, with saved views to jump to. The remodel had eight, from the kitchen seen from the living room to an overhead view of the whole floor.
  • Every category with its options, each with a photo, its specs and its client price.
  • A running total of the current selections.
  • A plain list of the same options when a device cannot show 3D.

Limits

The design center shows finishes in your model. It is not a photometric study or a construction document: the plans and specifications still govern what gets built.
