Why SoftPlan remodel?
For over thirty years,
SoftPlan has delivered the
most complete design
solution available by
listening to our customers
and creating a CAD package
that meets their needs at
every turn. SoftPlan
remodel provides the same
level of quality building
professionals expect from
SoftPlan, but in a new
offering intended for
remodeling projects such as kitchens, baths, decks, screened porches, sheds, office
layouts and more. You will be able to design new plans, update existing ones, and
promptly respond to clientele needs using proven, industry-leading technology. SoftPlan

• The shortest learning curve in the industry
• Drawing terms and objects familiar to building professionals
• Logical interface and order of operations
• Thousands of commands for quick and easy design and customisation
• BIM automation of construction documents, 3D renderings, & materials lists
• Customer support with no annual support fees
We know that you want a program that offers the things that you offer your customers
— quality, value, efficiency, and a guarantee of satisfaction.
SoftPlan has participated in over 30 consecutive years of exhibition at the International

3D Renderings
Using SoftPlan, 3D renderings are quick and easy to create. The resulting images are
professional and accurate, helping you to improve customer relations and increase sales.
Create High Quality Renderings
In today’s competitive building industry, professional looking 3D renderings are
indispensable design and sales tools. SoftPlan allows you to employ many different
rendering options such as advanced shadows, reflections, sun studies, indirect lighting and
photorealistic graphics to deliver better-looking results in less time than any other program
on the market.
Immediate Design Feedback
Use the 3D model to create a more aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound design.
Draw in the context of your 3D model and see the real world implications of your creative
choices.
Sell Your Design
SoftPlan’s advanced 3D capabilities give
you the ability to work with clients to tailor
the project to their unique needs. Engage
your client at any stage of the design
process using SoftPlan’s artistic rendering
styles such as sketched, watercolor, clay
model, and more. By combining immersive
interior and exterior images, stylized
renderings, and stunning walkthrough
animations, you can easily create captivating presentations in realistic 3D.
Utilising SoftPlan+ 3D models can be sent to clients to look around, move through and
inspect your proposed design, before construction commences.

Construction Documents
When you design a floor plan, SoftPlan is
modeling what you draw and automatically
creating elevations, sections, framing
diagrams and the materials list.
Whether you want to generate instant
sections and elevations, or benefit from
automatic framing, opening, and electrical
schedules, SoftPlan allows you to create
construction documents with absolute
accuracy in a fraction of the time you could
do so by hand.
With other CAD programs you draw lines to represent a wall. With SoftPlan you draw a
wall because you’re building a wall. SoftPlan drawings are drawn with familiar objects:
roofs, windows, floor joists and everything else you need.
These smart objects are designed to echo their real world equivalents. When a window is
drawn, the shutters, trim, header and jack studs are automatically added and the rough
opening is framed with the correct dimensions. As all of this information is added,
SoftPlan is assembling a highly detailed digital model which is used to author many
different types of construction documents.
Automation As you draw, SoftPlan’s automation enhances productivity and ensures that nothing is
left out of the plan. Everything from wall panel diagrams to 3D top-down views are
generated with a click of the mouse.
Customisation While automation saves time, SoftPlan provides extensive customisation tools to make
any detailed modification you require. Whether it’s adding realistic manufacturer
symbols, creating a specialized wall type, or crafting brand new cabinet styles, SoftPlan
provides the ability to achieve any design.
Integration SoftPlan’s integration capabilities allow all drawings to be imported and exported via
AutoCAD’s DWG format. We’ve created a “round trip” function that allows a SoftPlan
drawing to be sent out for modification, e.g., to an engineer, and then imported back.
The information added by the engineer can be imported separately from the original
SoftPlan drawings.
Drawing Types:
• Floor Plans • Roof Framing
• Elevations • Wall Framing
• Cross Sections • Floor Framing
• Interior Elevations • Electrical Plans
• Roof Plans • Site Plans

manufacturer collections, for adding toilets, tubs, showers, fixtures, and other bathroom
accessories that will attractively accentuate any remodel. You can even import symbols
from manufacturer websites or create your own to achieve unique layouts. Using SoftPlan’s

Decks
SoftPlan’s deck capabilities allow for the creation of any deck style by offering complete

railings.
Using SoftPlan’s intuitive drawing commands, decks, patios, pergolas, screen porches, and a
wide variety of other deck types can be drawn and customised to effortlessly achieve both
simple and complex designs.
These decks will appear in stunning 3D presentation as well as in the material list
calculations. SoftPlan’s deck feature and symbol libraries also allow items such as pools, fire
pits, patio furniture, landscaping, and much more to be included in the design and 3D
model.
