Toolwire® MedSpace Designer Instructions
How to Access MedSpace Designer Software
Click the Toolwire® MedSpace Designer link on the student website.
Once you are on the Toolwire® landing page, click the Lab Access link toward the bottom of the page.
On the Toolwire® MedSpace Designer page, click on the green Get Started Now banner in the lower-right corner of the “Start Designing with MedSpce Designer” page.
Select one of the five templates for the type of facility you would like to work with during your course assignments. The five templates are aligned with your design options in the course syllabus.
This places your template on a graph paper screen filling ¾ of the screen. At this point, the image is 2-D and a black bar is above the graph paper. Remember, you need to design in 2-D. You can click on 3-D at any point to see what your design looks like in 3-D, but you will be unable drag and drop. Click on 3-D to see the basic floor plan in 3-D. You can rotate the 3-D image by using the arrows found in the upper-right corner of the 3-D page. Click back to 2-D to continue designing.
When you access MedSpace Designer, an account will be created for you automatically using your IRN.
Locating Design Option and Assets
Notice the white column on the left-side of your screen adjacent to the graph paper containing your facilities template. At the top of the column are the word “Catalog” and a small field for searching all of the assets.
Below Catalog, is a small green house in a black tab. Click the down arrow to reveal the product categories that you can access to drag and drop into your template. Design Medical contains assets unique to medical facilities, while the other categories, which are free to use, are more related to residential designs. The assets in the Catalog are separated by type and function.
If you want to see all of the medical assets, regardless of function, click Brands & Collections
