SlabOSFabrication suiteSlabOS knowledge librarySLABOS WORKFLOWS / Draw It See It 3D
The 2D drawing engine builds a countertop live from a centerline, with edges, corners, cutouts, splash and waterfall, then the real slab lands on it in vein-matched 3D.
Draw It See It 3DWatch the workflow. Put it to work in your shop.
Draw the counter once. Follow its geometry into pricing and presentation.
SlabOS connects countertop drawing to the quote. The estimator works with dimensions, edges, cutouts and areas; the 3D presentation comes from that drawing. This gives the salesperson and customer a shared object to discuss instead of a sketch disconnected from the price.
Use the 2D view to establish the measured outline and the 3D view to explain the result. A waterfall or miter should be checked as geometry, not merely mentioned in a note. Material appearance is another layer: a real slab photograph communicates a particular slab, while a catalog texture communicates a material selection. Keep that distinction visible when presenting the work.
Inputs: Measured countertop runs, edge selections, corner details and openings.
Outputs: An editable drawing, priced quantities and a visual representation of the design.
Present the same island in drawing, pricing and 3D views, identifying one changed dimension and its resulting quantities.
A realistic render is a presentation of the saved design. It does not replace field measurement or fabrication approval.

SlabOS can furnish the selected countertop with fitted cabinets, sinks and cooktops, place a slide-in range in a supported appliance opening and optionally add a hood. The proposed scene is previewed before applying, and each item remains customizable. The same 3D workspace supports automatic stone assembly and a customer-ready room presentation.

SLABOS IN MOTION 05 FILMS
A closer look at the decisions, details and handoffs that make the work happen.
Magnetic center snap in the SlabOS drawing engine: on an L, the sink snaps to the center of the inside edge (47⅜″), not the wall's middle (60⅛″), stored exactly and off the ¼″ grid; quarter points for double vanities, bump-outs centered on the sink, and Alt to place freely.
Open video ↗Drawing-editor teaser: an outlet dragged onto a backsplash snaps to 7 1/2 inches above the counter, copy and paste drops each copy 10 inches along the run, and round hole groups take 1 to 4 holes.
Open video ↗Drag a countertop's end to extend, shorten, retrace or add a bend. Follow the shape from straight to L to U while its drawing details move with it.
Open video ↗Follow a centerline-based countertop edit: change a segment dimension, keep the adjoining shape connected, set per-leg depth and review ambiguous selections before changing geometry.
Open video ↗Change one dimension on the drawing, click Auto Nest, and SlabOS re-nests the job on real slabs: a 12-inch longer range run takes this kitchen from 2 slabs to 3, before any stone is ordered.
SlabOS - The drawing changes. Follow the nest. (26 seconds, no voice-over; music and sound effects only)
The drawing changes. A kitchen drawing with three countertops, CT1 (an L-shaped sink run with a sink), CT2 (a range run) and CT3 (an island), has already been nested on 2 slabs.
The CT2 range run is 60 inches. The user clicks the dimension and types 72. CT2 grows 12 inches on the drawing.
The pieces go back to the existing nest: 2 slabs, Slab 1 and Slab 2, nested with Tightest Fit, maximize yield. Pieces CT1.1, CT1.2, CT2 and CT3 are shown with their splash strips.
It doesn't fit. CT2 now runs 9.5 inches off Slab 1. The message reads: Run Auto-Nest to reflow.
The user clicks Auto Nest. Optimizing, 0 to 100 percent. Same job, same mode, same slab size.
Every piece and strip moves to a new layout: 3 slabs. Slab 1 holds CT1.1 and CT2, Slab 2 holds CT1.2, Slab 3 holds CT3. Every slab is a clean fit. It was 2 slabs and is now 3.
12 inches. One more slab. See it before you order.

Layouts are real SlabOS Auto Nest engine results for this job (Tightest Fit, 126 by 63 inch slabs).
