Planning a Wall Pattern Before the Interior Finish
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
I used SketchUp to plan the interior while the metal and mounting points were still exposed. For the Art3d purchase, the useful next decision is how the sheet pattern meets corners and edges. Grey-marble subway sheets and the Polito Fresco pattern create different repeats across the same small wall area.

Marble-pattern backsplash sheets make the seam layout visible on a small galley wall. Arrange several sheets dry before cutting so the pattern and overlaps can be checked together. Start with a clean, dry and smooth receiving surface, then position the first sheet carefully because it sets the line for the rest. Plan outlet and fixture openings on a paper pattern before cutting the face. Art3d’s original vinyl tile guide explains surface preparation and the peel-and-stick sequence for its backsplash format.
Why Check Several Sheets Together Before Applying Them?
