Facility → Scale Model

The layout, on the table. Upload the DXF of your warehouse or plant — its layers come with it — and say what each layer is: walls, columns, racking, conveyor, equipment, automation, docks, flow. Each becomes its own color on a scaled base, and the racks, conveyors and machines sit in shallow pockets so they lift off. Run it twice with different layers ticked for the current and the future state. A PDF or photo of the plan works too, as one layer, with the scale set from a known dimension.

Layers, not guesses. A DXF's own layer names suggest what each layer is (A-WALL, RACKING, CONVEYOR…) — you confirm or change it; nothing is classified behind your back. Closed shapes on a block layer become blocks at the height you set for that kind of thing; walls and flow paths are lines. The scale comes from the DXF's units or from a width you give; the preview shows the ratio and the real footprint. Blocks lift off their pockets so a racking layer can be swapped for the proposed one. Features finer than a printer can make at the model's scale are widened or counted out, and you're told.
