All the efforts in this company have been done in their markting email system and advetising. Software is completly basic and unfriendly to use. And was even worse to install it... makes you feel back in the 90´s and pretends to be a new cool app... reading messages here and not going even to try to get my 20$ back, but just take our advice and better use paper and pencil!

I've been using this software for more than 3 months and I love it
It was hard getting started as there are no real tutorials, just videos of showing the software being used.. After a couple of days (don't judge me), i got the hang of it! I wish the custom van feature was more customizable (the van roof corners) and I wish you could move around in the van without pressing 50 keys at once.. I also wish there were more wood options or tiles. Hopefully this will be included in the next update
Yes there are a few bugs here and there, but they are really minor ones, I can suck it up a little bit for this price👍
Best for last - pls include a blueprint feature, we desperately need it

I'm using beta version of the app and quite enjoy it. Very simple interface, can put a rough plan together very quickly - in under 30 minutes.
Does what I want really. Few bugs but nothing major. Would be great to have body work semi transparent so you can see where the doors are. Similar issue with cladding. In top view, with bodywork off there's no hole for sliding doors.
Used it briefly and may discover more things when I'll have a proper go

The website has lots of information and helpful trouble shooting unfortunately I had troubles with the software connecting to there server. Which appear to be un clear issues on my end.
vanspace3d have contacted me on several platforms, we went through a few trouble shooting and they offered me a full refund, I look forward to the release of the App I will be trying this.

Should've read the reviews before buying.. Software is extremely user unfriendly. Takes ages to move around or adjust stuff. Besides, if you choose to make your custom van/bus, the wheel base doesn't change, but the cargo space does. This makes it look completely ridiculous (cargo space being only half of the van). Customer service is not helpful at all, they just keep sending unnecessary long emails referring to their policies and guides. Safe your money and stay away from this software, they won't give you a refund!

The program is basically a extremely simplified 3D tool (nothing more than poor mans blender) where you can clumsily move objects in space. There is no collision between the objects, so you can have your bed floating in between the textures of the van (if it's even available as a model). The number of objects you can put in the van is severely limited. The program serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. It's a pure cashgrab. If you want to have a refund, they deal with you with "Once you have logged in online, you have waived your right to a 14 day cooling off period as is standard with all online digital content. We do not offer a Trial Period as you can create a layout in under an hour if needed. " policy sentence. Just seconds after you log in and see how bad the program is, your ability to get a refund is gone.
Jeżeli przeczytałeś o tym programie w książce Busów, to broń boże nie popełnij mojego błędu i go nie kupuj. To czysty scam, a sam program jest beznadziejny i bezużyteczny.

Do not purchase this software if you are a mac user.
I'm on a recent MacBook Pro and it is unusable. Controls do not work, the entire program is too sluggish to even attempt to work through.
On top of that, my van is not in the preset list and the create a custom van option appears to be broken.
After choosing one of the preset vans to attempt a build, it's just one bug after the other. Controls do not work. Measurements are mixed (I'm on the metric system yet furniture stubbornly sticks to inches, making it a headache to get measurements right).
I really like the idea, but it needs to reach a far, far more finished state for this to qualify as a paid product.
Very disappointed.

Mis-sold as they said they had my van template and they didn't. Cant remove bulkheads or have swivel seats so very limited. Very difficult to operate and buggy. Just not worth the hassle.
In response to your reply. You admitted you misunderstood on Facebook what model of van I had, a Transit Custom, which you did not know was a different van from a normal Transit. You admitted this, I asked for a refund and you went quiet again. It all very well saying all these things in reply to people but look at all the unhappy customers! I will update this review if I get a refund seeing as they have now promised it below.
Update:
Refund now received which is much appreciated. Customer service improving. Comments about software still stand.

We bought the lifetime Version, with all the bonus material, but couldnt even download it. The Vanspace 3D v.2.09 is just awful and not really ready yet. You have not a lot of choices to build and customize your Van in size or design. So we downloaded the v.1.2 and this version is even worse. You have more opportunities, but they suck. The handling is really weird and also not a good software/ program. After watching many videos/ tutorials on Youtube we still couldnt work with it. We really did gave these programs a chance, but finally we wont use it again and we would NOT RECOMMEND this program.

Initially had an awful first experience with difficulty logging in, then a van that I'd be working on for 3 hours not save (even though I saved every 5 - 10 minutes!). But even with these slight issue, I've been able to learn the software pretty well in 2 days. It's allowed me to visualise my van build without the need of expensive software. Yes, it has some teething problems, but what other van-lifers have made software like this to help you out in the way that Vanspace3d can? I just want to say thank you to Michelle and Will for putting together this incredible program.

I did finally recieve a refund after several months of having to justify my motives. I simpy disliked the way I was dealt with and the way I had to justify my actions. If someone does not like the product, or chooses not to use it, they should not be questioned and have to justify themselves. The most anoying part of the experience with Vanspace is their customer service and poor attitude twoard unsatisfied customers. Save yourself the headache and use your imagination instead of this service

Super nice service! Loved it! Looking forward to use Vanspace on my next device!

I'm really enjoying this product. There's so much possibility when you are planning a Van Life living space, and this program really helps brings these dreams to visualization.

I see the software has potential, but it's just not there yet. I purchased this on a whim, expecting it to be somewhat polished and similar to other modeling and layout tools I've used before. It's not.
I've spent a few hours so far messing around with it after watching tutorials, and while I see it has potential to be something great, the user-friendly aspect of things is just not there yet.
I'm a software developer myself, and I would never dream of releasing something as unpolished as this, especially as a paid software.
Not looking for a refund, as the software technically works. I'll keep messing around with it and HOPEFULLY be able to get use out of it. If I figure it out, I'll be thrilled!

Loving the software so far. Nice to be able to get a 3D rendering in an actual van layout. Customer Support have been very responsive as well.

I saw the reviews and was a bit skeptic after buying the software. I'm using an 2011 Macbook, and it works really good with it :) You can't think that it is a perfect software, but it's a software from van lovers to van lovers :D Don’t really understand the negative reviews...it's not perfect, but it works fine! I think it helps a lot with designing and positioning items in your customized van. All tools work fine, and you can definitely imagine what your vehicle will look like! It's much easier than building it up in SketchUp or somewhere else because you have all those Van Layouts and Accessories already in the software. Thanks a lot for everything @TeamVanspace ;)
As someone else already mentioned a "magnet" function for objects would be really nice!
Thanks :)

UPDATE!!!!!: After the original post devs contacted me and asked to provide more info and my save files. One week later they fixed the bug for me while kept me update almost everyday through the process! I know the software is not perfect but at the end it is just a BETA right now! If you want an easy way to design your van basics you won't find better! Support them so they can improve the software for all of us.
ORIGINAL POST:
Huge potential but a piece of crap! Software is full of bugs which would be ok for a beta version but there are bugs which makes this program unusable even for the basic tasks. Navigation is horrible! I spent almost 2 days building my van and save it. Next day loaded the save and now I can't move any of the objects in my van nor resize so basically I have to start over but this I'll use Sketchup I don't want to waste my time again. This software would be great if the developers would put in the time to make it work!

I wish I have read the reviews before I purchased. It is a pain in the ass to use the software, it does not look anything as suggested on thir website. I am very disappoitned, did not worth the money, nor my time I have waisted on it.... :(

Reply from Vanspace3d
This is bad software from a bad company run by bad people. Full of bugs, inconsistent operation, the training materials are way out of date with the current operation, and a lot of the settings don't stick once you set them so you are constantly fiddling with the settings and operation. I asked for a refund first hour I had this and they won't honor it. I don't know why any company would be so disrespectful and unhelpful to their customers. Oh, and they spam you constantly and give your information away so you pretty much have to block them
