As our company name implies we act as a resource for our customer’s facilities. Beyond supplying modular furniture we have a wealth of resources available to designers, architects, facility managers, occupational health and safety people, and end users. Some of these resources are listed below:
 
Z Axis® 3D Office Layout/Specification Software:
 
Z-Axis is the premier office design and specification tool in the office furniture industry.  Its key benefit is in helping customers visualize their offices, primarily through the use of shaded 3-D images created and placed in a rendering of the space being designed.  The images can be moved and modified, and can be dynamically rotated, allowing you to view the installation from any angle.  Z-Axis automatically creates installation documents (plan, elevation, and 3-D views) and generates a product list that is guaranteed 100% accurate.  Z-Axis can be used as a stand-alone specification tool or in conjunction with AutoCAD/CAD Pack.
 
When you call, a Herman Miller trained salesperson arrives at your office with a laptop computer.  Together you create a 3-D colour layout of your new office, making changes until everything is just the way you want it.  With the touch of a button, you see the 3-D colour layout, an itemized parts list and a total price.  The 1:1 Z-Axis laptop lets you do layouts and revisions in minutes, saving days or weeks.

CAD Pack:
 
The CAD Pack software is a tool that works with AutoCAD and MicroStation CAD packages, allowing you to plan interiors with products available from Herman Miller. Use the CAD Pack software to create drawings as small as a workstation and as large as a complete floor plan. Then, generate product-count reports and data files based on your CAD Pack space plan. You can transfer CAD Pack product-count files in SIF format to Herman Miller's specIT program or other 3rd party specification packages for use in the electronic ordering process.
