Veterinary clinic layout software
Veterinary clinic layouts in 3D, with the cats’ waiting area and the wait for a vet.
Laydyne lets you check whether dogs are visible from the cats’ side of a split waiting room, and try a moved bench or a partition with a door in a copy. Compare vets, bookings and veterinary nurses for a morning of consultations, and check Japan’s fire rules for an animal hospital on the same model.

Can cats see dogs in a vet clinic waiting room?
This is a small-animal clinic whose waiting room is split by partitions into a dogs’ side and a cats’ side. Check from how much of the cats’ side, and from which cat benches, a dog is visible (a cat in its carrier with its eyes at 0.6 m, a dog’s eyes at 0.5 m). Then try moving a bench, and carrying the partition to the wall with a door, in a copy, and measure again. Also show which rooms a dog reaches only by crossing the cats’ side.
