    Looks great. Have you thought about making the seating area at the same level as the spa? Looks like your second step is at that level. That may simplify the design a bit. Also if you plan to use an automated pool cleaner you may want to round out the corners below the water line. My pb uses pool studio and it has been a great help with the design.

    Looks great,
    I am sure you know you will also need a complete set of 2 D prints in order to quote and build. It was hard to find a sub that would open a PDF on email much less review an electronic cad file. I guess they make a living out in the field not in an office. Post copies of the final drawing on the inside of a window so they can see the print at all times and make many copies. I passed out at least 2 dozen blue lines during my build and quote process. Most just want a print to scale faxed to their house to quote at night. Also when you choose text make sure you use a large bold text that will fax and copy well.

    If you have questions feel free to email me.
    Thanks
    D

    I would also suggest having the seating area the same level as the spa. I really love Pool Studio really helps to visualize what you going to get.

    I we have moved the spa up slightly and the seating down slightly to place the seating area the same level as the spa.

    Thanks for everyones imput... that's what I was hoping for... the new design looks great.. we changed it in the Cad Drawings that engineer is drafting for them.
