# Create a 3D Design

## Create a 3D Design

To create a 3D design, start by clicking ‘+ Create Design’ in your project space. From there, navigate to the Building 3D section. Enter a name for your 3D model, then click ‘+ Create’ to get started with your new design.

Next, you’ll be asked to choose a Concept Fabric. Select ‘Moderate and Mixed Mass’ as your initial setting. This defines the default construction properties for early-stage modelling. Don’t worry,  you can change this selection later if your design approach evolves. Once selected, click ‘Select’ to continue.

You’ll then be prompted to upload your first model. This marks the starting point for working with your building geometry in 3D, allowing you to visualise, edit and refine your design as needed.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.betterbuilding.io/user-guide/3d-building/create-a-3d-design.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
