Hi all,

I really like the idea of being able to share gamerooms, but seems everyone has a preferred format.

I'm a big fan of this solution.

The software is by Icovia. Apparently furniture sites buy this application to put on their site to promote sales/avoid returns.

The software includes customizable icons for designing a gameroom (pinball machines, arcade games, etc). I mocked up my gameroom from memory in about 15 minutes. Here's the link to it.

Note: this particular instance of the application might be a little slow.

The software is really easy to use, you can input actual dimensions, print a bill of materials, icons can have links to websites. So I can click on your TZ and it presents a link to maybe your online photo album. The designs can be shared with a simple http link. Signup (email address and zip code is all that's required; opt out of the company emails!) to be able to save your work. I've never received any contact/email from the company.

It's great for a quick gameroom layout tool. I can rotate and move around my entire collection in a matter of minutes to see which layout works best. And no special desktop software is required (no need for Sketchup, etc) and anyone can view it using a browser link.

Just Google "icovia room planner" and you'll find any number of sites hosting the application. Some sites have different versions with different features/icons, but I just found one that had all the gameroom icons.

http://furniturelandsouth.icovia.com/icovia.aspx is the instance I used for mine above.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this.

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Thomasville, Furnitureland South, or Icovia.

Might be neat if Pinside had it's own instance of this software running.
