The ''first'' commercial project for Macsys was creating a colored 1:50 scale model of a villa in [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dronten Dronten]. Details include; tiled roof, water drainage pipes and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntin muntin] windows. At the time of modeling this project, there was no 'shell function' available in SketchUp, meaning that creating the correct wall thicknesses had to be done manually. A very tedious and time-consuming task, which is fully automated in most solid modelers.                   
 
The ''second'' project was a huge jump in complexity. It was requested to build a scale model of a 900 m² mansion. It was requested to build the model with an open roof, making it possible to view the internal layout. Since the scaled model was larger than the available 3d printer, the model required sectioning. Building plans for the 30m x 30m [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansion mansion] were available in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD AutoCad] 2d format. The mansion includes: a swimming pool, sauna, fitness room and underground parking.
 
Macsys's ''third'' model was a challenge in terms of detailing. The unique house design includes an elevation, round  structure, high detail stairs, pillars and balcony. Since printed models are relatively weak, scaling was done non-uniform, so that the finer details are printed somewhat bigger and are thus stronger.

After the first projects were successfully launched, demand for models increased. That is why Macsys partnered with a SketchUp modeling firm based in Thailand. This allowed Macsys to increase its design capacity and take on more work and more challenging projects.
