From your layout to a useful equipment list
The Spac3D equipment list is based on the elements in your layout. It connects the visible setup with an overview of the equipment you have planned.
Confirm the project version first
Before exporting, check that the right elements are in the room. Remove unused alternatives and add missing components. Otherwise, a list exported from an intermediate version may contain equipment that is no longer part of the plan.
Export and extend the CSV
Download the equipment list as CSV and open it in a spreadsheet application. Add information relevant to your workflow, such as responsibilities, packing status or notes. These additions belong to your spreadsheet; they do not change the layout in Spac3D.
Save the image, list and project together
Also export a suitable view and the editable project file. The image explains positions, the list provides an equipment overview and the project file allows later changes. When you create a new layout version, update the related exports too.
Use CSV for further editing
Use “Materialliste (CSV)” in the planner to download the project data. CSV files can be opened in spreadsheet applications, where you can add your own information such as responsibilities, availability or notes.
Check the exported data before use. The list does not verify whether equipment is in stock, ordered from a supplier or suitable for the event.
Understand images, CSV and project files
An image shows the proposed spatial arrangement. The CSV list gives an overview of the elements included. The project file lets you reopen and edit the layout in Spac3D later. Neither an image nor an equipment list replaces the project file.
For coordination, it can help to provide an image and the corresponding equipment list together. Also keep the project file so changes do not mean starting again.
Example: checking stage platforms and seating for a talk
A talk layout includes a stage built from nine platforms and seating with 24 chairs. Trusses, lighting, audio and FOH complete the setup. The equipment list helps you check the items against this spatial concept.
Start with the major items: does the platform count match the planned stage area? Are all chairs in the current layout included? Then check technical equipment and accessories. Add cables, connectors or consumables if they have not been included in the project.
Once the list and image match, save both with a clear version name. For arranging the space itself, see Stage planning and 3D room planning for events.
