Customer Case Study · Projects & Design
A frameless-look, ceiling-hung shower door turned into an interactive 3D model, a configurator and a step-by-step installation guide. Design, procurement and site teams now all work from the same model.

The Stealth Swing enclosure has 16 parts, no bottom track and a 16 mm visible profile. It looks simple when finished, and that makes it easy to get wrong on site. The only reference was a static exploded drawing.
Installers had to imagine how the hanger, pivot and seals fit from a single exploded view printed on A3.
An experienced crew took around 4 hours; new crews took 8 or more. Pivot setting-out and seals caused most re-dos.
Door drop, leaking seals and threshold gaps showed up at customer walk-throughs, the most expensive time to fix them.
Every bathroom size meant a fresh cut list for glass and profiles, worked out by hand for each tower.
We rebuilt the enclosure as a parametric 3D model in the browser, driven by the same dimensions as the specification. Everyone sees the same thing.

We followed crews through first-fix to handover on a sample floor.
Deliverable: Install time-and-motion study and snag taxonomy.
Each of the 16 parts became its own object with its spec and quantity.
Deliverable: Parametric spec and part library.
Claude wrote the Three.js model, configurator and BOM logic from the spec.
Deliverable: Single HTML 3D studio that works offline on a site tablet.
Rolled out on one tower before scaling.
Deliverable: Pilot tower handed over with fewer snags.
The same approach now covers more of the fit-out package.
Deliverable: Wet-area 3D library and rollout plan.
Drag to orbit and scroll to zoom. Use Explode to pull all 16 parts apart, Swing to open the door, and Configure to change size, hinge side, finish and glass. Install builds it step by step with the QC checks for each stage.
3D model is a representative build from the product specification (OSTF-SW1-HWC); actual product may vary slightly. Site tolerances are illustrative and follow the manufacturer's installation manual.
The original exploded view is kept as the reference. Every part number is a hotspot: tap one to highlight the part in the 3D model above. Tap the drawing elsewhere to see it full size.
Hover or tap a numbered hotspot on the drawing.
Installers trust the manufacturer's drawing. Linking it to the 3D model meant nobody had to choose between the two.
The BOM comes straight from the configured enclosure. Enter how many bathrooms use it and the materials roll up for the vendor RFQ.
Uses the size, hinge side and finish set in Configure.
When crews could see exactly how each part fits, the most common snags fell sharply and new crews reached the target time within weeks.

A parametric model answers questions a drawing cannot: what fits, in what order, at what size.
Most snags came from doing steps out of order. Playing the install step by step fixed that.
Design, procurement, site and sales now all use the same model, so they also agree on the details.
