See it

This repository includes an example application built using blueprint3d:

http://furnishup.github.io/blueprint3d/example/

What is this?

This is a customizable application built on three.js that allows users to design an interior space such as a home or apartment. Below are screenshots from our Example App (link above).

1) Create 2D floorplan:

floorplan

2) Add items:

add_items

3) Design in 3D:

3d_design

Developing and Running Locally

To get started, clone the repository and ensure you npm >= 3 and grunt installed, then run:

npm install
grunt

The latter command generates example/js/blueprint3d.js from src.

The easiest way to run locally is to run a local server from the example directory. There are plenty of options. One uses Python's built in webserver:

cd example

# Python 2.x
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

# Python 3.x
python -m http.server

Then, visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Contribute!

This project requires a lot more work. In general, it was rushed through various prototype stages, and never refactored as much as it probably should be. We need your help!
