SoftPlan or SoftPlan Lite?

To simplify your decision, we’ve provided a brief summary of the differences between SoftPlan and SoftPlan Lite software and a comprehensive listing where you can search a specific feature for availability. 

Choosing between SoftPlan and SoftPlan Lite can be broken down into five major categories of functionality in the design process:

Customization

The most important difference by far, SoftPlan allows the user to create new wall types, windows, beams, joists, and more while SoftPlan Lite offers only symbols that have been pre-loaded. A greater number of System Configuration options are also available in SoftPlan.

Automatic Framing

Automatic wall and roof framing, working with studs, rafters, and trusses and other useful framing commands are included in the SoftPlan package. SoftPlan Lite has simplified versions of some of these commands.

Site Plan Work

SoftPlan allows users to generate lot layouts simply through inputting surveyor’s coordinates along with a variety of detailed features to create accurate site plans. Site plan work is not available in SoftPlan Lite.

3D Rendering

SoftPlan features more advanced rendering functions. SoftPlan also allows importation of textures, photos, and other user specific materials.

Material Take-Offs

SoftPlan Lite calculates your materials and allows you to input pricing on a design-by-design basis. SoftPlan has the ability to do a tremendous amount of custom configuration including cost mark-ups, waste factors, labor costing, etc.

Keeping Your Options Open

When you buy SoftPlan Lite you are investing in the future of your company. If the design needs of your business grow, you can apply the purchase price of SoftPlan Lite towards the upgrade to the full- featured SoftPlan at any time in the future.
The intuitive interface and standard tools found in SoftPlan Lite are synonymous with those found in SoftPlan. Furthermore, Lite drawings can be opened in SoftPlan and vice versa so you can hit the ground running if you do decide to upgrade in the future.
