SoftPlan reView streamlines collaboration throughout the building process. reView gives instant
access, anywhere, to SoftPlan drawings even by non-SoftPlan users! Through email or a pocket PC, reView allows
all those involved in a building project, from the designer, builder, trade contractor, to the client to view,
comment, and mark-up the drawings.

Redline & mark-up
drawings
|
| |
Enhance the efficiency of the revision
process as SoftPlan reView allows you to redline a drawing with typical
mark-up tools such as redline, cloud, dimension, and notes. Anyone, from
your client to your staff, will have the ability to mark-up the drawing
with comments, revisions, or redline sketches.

Exchange Drawings & 3D
Models
|
| |
Choose to convert your SoftPlan
drawing into a single reView file or a PDF that can be emailed to your
customers and building staff. In addition, reView 3D allows you to send a
3D SoftView model to clients for viewing. Facilitate communication
with:
|
| |
-
Clients - Communicate design
ideas to your clients through email. You won’t even have to leave
the office! Your customer can now have input throughout the entire
building process by having the ability to view and redline a
design. Plus wow your clients with reView 3D as this will allow a
customer to view what their house will look like through a 3D
model.
-
Trade Contractors - All the
architectural information is available in a reView file, making it
valuable when dealing with trade contractors. Email a reView
drawing to a trade contractor to create estimates or communicate
design revisions.
-
Field Staff - Once construction is underway,
reView is a helpful tool because all the information the field
staff will ever need to know such as sizing and dimensions can be
stored on their pocket PC. Punch list items can also be created
directly on the drawings.

Distribute free
Viewer software
|
| |
Your clients and project team can use
the free Viewer software as a tool to view, mark-up, and comment
on the SoftPlan drawing. The free reView client viewer will also allow
full navigation, outside and inside, of the SoftView authored 3D model.
The Viewer software can be easily downloaded on our website. Now
everyone involved in the building project can participate in reviews of
SoftPlan drawings without having to purchase a viewing tool.

Control your
drawings
|
| |
As the designer or owner of a home
plan, some control over your drawings and information may be required. So
when a reView file is being created from a SoftPlan drawing, the author
will be asked several questions designed to control what information is
available and how it may be used. The SoftPlan user controls:
|
| |
-
If the reView file can be
printed
-
If printing is allowed,
whether or not the print can be to scale
-
Whether to include any images
(typically logos or renderings) that may be included on the
SoftPlan drawing in the reView file
|
|
Note: SoftPlan reView can not be added to the SoftPlan Lite program.
Email drawings to clients, staff, or printer

- Import mark-ups created in reView PC or reView pocket PC back into SoftPlan
- Create schedules of all the notes, punch items, and service symbols added to the drawings by
reView PC and reView pocket PC
- Configure mark-up items and comments that are available to reView for punch list, note, and
service symbol items

the author of the reView file (reView PC only)
- Export SoftPlan (.spd) files as .pdf files
- NEW: Send 3D SoftView models to clients for viewing with reView
3D (reView 3D files allow the client to move through the house in a way that is far more flexible than
traditional animation files.)
This module is designed to facilitate communication between the
designer, client, builder, trade contractors, and their staff via
email and the pocket PC.
Send 3D models to clients for viewing
- reView 3D allows a 3D SoftView model to be sent to a client for viewing. Customers can
navigate inside and outside, throughout the model.
“As a longtime SoftPlan customer, I am thrilled to have SoftPlan reView and now reView 3D as a tool. As
a designer, in today’s tight market, it is important to differentiate yourself from the competition.
Communication with my clients is key, and SoftPlan review has been an essential tool in being able to
communicate long distance through sending review files and .PDFs.
And now, I have found great success with reView 3D. I recently, designed a home for a builder and
created a 3D interior and exterior model in reView 3D. When the builder showed the 3D reView file to
the buyers, the contract for the house was signed that day! Since the buyers were able to see what the
house would look like, they were sold right then and there. Several days later the buyers said ‘We
bought the house because we were able to see it in 3D.’
This is such a tremendously powerful sales and presentation tool, that I now have clients that want me
to create 3D models with reView on existing floorplans. This has allowed me to generate even more
business for myself.” |
