  SoftPlan is a better solution for Residential Designers because: Residential Designers create a large portion of the home designs built in North America every year and represent a large portion of the SoftPlan user base. These professionals focus solely on residential design and are typically very small businesses with many being sole proprietorships. Time and productivity are particularly important to these small firms and as a result SoftPlan is a perfect choice. In the past these firms typically created drawings either by hand or with AutoCAD®. SoftPlan represents a significant productivity upgrade over both and at a lower cost than AutoCAD®. In addition to being a great value and fast, SoftPlan is also easy to learn and a pleasure to use as you will feel that you can finally design freely without letting the technology hold you back. See for yourself why so many designers have made the switch to SoftPlan.

• What kind of Video Card does SoftPlan require?
  What type of video card does SoftPlan require? We recommend a video card capable of supporting a minimum of DirectX version 10.1. To make sure you have the correct version of the DirectX driver installed, click here. While we do not have a specific minimum RAM requirement, the more memory on the video card, the better your graphics will be. Depending on the card, higher numbers of pixel shaders, vertex shaders, or stream processors will also yield better performance. Note that the video card does not affect the performance of SoftPlan’s Rendering mode. SoftPlan runs well with the majority of the graphics cards recently released by NVIDIA and ATI. Whoever the manufacturer of your graphics card, it is important to keep the video driver current. For more information, check the manufacturer’s site.
