  Realising the European-XFEL involves creating and coordinating several types of 3D design models for many different subsystems like underground buildings, utilities, accelerator systems or photon beam lines. In order to handle the huge amount of data, reduced envelope models are needed for integrating the subsystems towards the complete facility and to ensure that the different subsystems connect properly and do not intersect. Detailed component design models are required for planning approval, tendering or in-house production. A key issue was to develop an optimized design for the facilities while still being able to accommodate possible late R&D-driven design changes of subsystems. The paper describes the procedures and tools which are used for planning and designing the European-XFEL and reports benefits and experience. The procedures in use allow visualization of the facilities, negotiation of requirements and solutions between all the working groups, optimized storing of the documentation as well as running approval and change management procedures. Tools in use include a requirements database, 3D-CAD systems and an engineering data management system.
