🔧 Patio3D: Duralum and Four Seasons!

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Duralum, Four Seasons, and Alumawood covers can now all be sold simultaneously through Patio3D!

Here’s how:

Patio3D narrows everything down automatically

When a shopper enters their address and measurements, Patio3D filters out manufacturers that don't serve that area or don't work based on the engineering requirements. Only buildable options remain.

In the Colors tab, users can choose from the manufacturers and colors still available.

Patio3D does the rest. It goes through the engineering plans, finds a suitable build, and renders it in 3D within a second!

More realistic textures and 3D detail

We’re always improving our 3D renders, and the difference between all types of panels and rafters is now clearer than ever!

Patio3D also shows the texture difference between Elitewood Classic and Ultra!

​Try it here​

Patio3D only uses and shows what you sell

You can open your admin panel and disable any parts you don’t sell, and Patio3D will ignore them when doing the engineering and won't show them in 3D either!

You’ll notice that I-beam and gutter header options don’t appear here because those options have been disabled.

Flexible pricing and quoting by manufacturer

Patio3D includes a simple 17-item pricing book for every manufacturer, which it uses to generate quotes and estimates automatically.

For Alumawood, Patio3D uses the manufacturer’s full 200-item pricing book to generate more accurate quotes and estimates.

You can also show the estimate to online shoppers as they design, so only serious buyers request a quote.

More exciting things are coming soon! I’ll keep you posted.
