Plan your van conversion with physical precision – for 44 popular panel vans with real manufacturer dimensions. No more guessed weights and nasty surprises at inspection: in VanLogic every piece of furniture gets a shape, dimensions, material and build type – the app calculates the weight. You see instantly how your build affects axle loads, centre of gravity and payload. Plan in top and rear view, then check the result in realistic 3D – in millimetres or inches. KEY FEATURES - Axle load, centre of gravity & payload live: green, yellow or red shows at once whether your build stays within the limits. - Realistic 3D: your vehicle with real axles and appliances that look like the real thing – with X-ray, section view, exploded view and a human figure standing or sitting. - Freeform: angled corners, leaning walls, rounded corners or a shape drawn from behind or from the side – for furniture that fits exactly. - Cut-outs & panels: a notch for the wheel arch, a cut-out for the B-pillar, leave out the back wall or floor – the weight adjusts. - Advanced collision check: detects overlaps with furniture and the vehicle structure on the real footprint and suggests the right cut-out or wall lean. - Real vehicle structure: wheel arches, sliding door, B-pillar, rear door and roof taper. - Component catalogue: over 150 appliances in 14 categories with weight and size from the data sheet – plus your own components, cables, screws and insulation. - Rear, roof & underfloor: rear carrier, roof box and underfloor tank with their effect on axle loads and centre of gravity. - Realistic build types: solid, box, frame or frame with panelling – with shelves, drawers and doors. - Assemblies & templates: combine furniture, rotate, scale and save it as your own template. Plus 8 layout templates and 31 ready-made assemblies. - Precise alignment: reference and distance function to the millimetre. - Material database: conversion materials with real density or your own materials. - Report & material list: PDF with axle loads, centre of gravity, payload check according to DIN EN 1646-2 and tank scenarios, plus shopping and cutting list. - Easy to use: drag & drop, auto-save, undo and redo. - Share & keep planning: share your plan, import and export on Android and iOS. With Pro also in the browser – in the web app and in VanLogic Studio. - Try it free: test every Pro feature in test mode – with no time limit.
