SoftPlan and SoftPlan
Lite are CAD based architectural design software programs specifically
written for the building industry.
SoftPlan, a CAD program
with a difference. SoftPlan
has specific drawing tools that provide fast drafting of residential and light
commercial floor plans. Use
SoftPlan's easy to use drawing tools to create the Floor
Plans, then let the power of SoftPlan automatically generate the Elevations,Cross Sections,3D Images
and Material list directly from the floor plan.
Unlike many
other CAD programs, SoftPlan draws with components, walls, joists, beams etc,
not with lines representing items. Because SoftPlan only draws buildings it
understands common building terms like walls, footings, rafters and many other
building members. See how easy specific building tools will make drafting by
sending for your FREE demonstration pack with interactive
tutorial style demonstration CD.
SoftPlan
has many features including full 3D image rendering with reflections and shadows.
Backgrounds can be placed behind generated images for a realistic view of the
finished project. 3D images can be viewed from any angle inside or out, with
multiple light sources for realistic shading and shadows.
Communicate
with your customers, field staff and anybody else connected with your projects
via SoftPlan reView. The reView module allows open
access of SoftPlan drawings so that anybody can view, print (with permission)
and comment on. The viewer
is free and simple to use.

build a business on" Supplied with FREE support, detailed printed user guide,
no yearly fees, FREE updates within a version and FREE membership to SoftPlan

SoftPlan is a true
"Picture-torial Estimating System"
instead of using a tabular input system where numbers are displayed like a spread
sheet. SoftPlan uses a drawing to create a Detailed
Estimate of materials including labour and waste. This method is far advanced,
as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words", in this case all the materials
calculated from the floor plan.
Site Plan
mode will generate a footprint of the building on the site. Enter spot heights
and SoftPlan will generate contour lines. Services like power, telephone, water
etc can be indicated along with contours and building setbacks.
For those that like using
CAD but need their drawings to still have that personal touch of the drawing
board. There are many options that will make you drawings stand out in the crowd.
Like Printer / Plotter pen or line styles.
