As the first in the series, the Introductory Training CD set is designed for everyone, although general computer experience is helpful. The CDs cover the steps necessary to complete a simple house from design phase through completion of floor plans, elevations, and cross sections. An introduction to roof generation, object offsets, basic site plan input, and 3D rendering are also included on the set. At completion, users will be familiar enough with SoftPlan drawing techniques to confidently begin drawing on their own.

Disc two shifts focus to SoftView's interaction with the floor plan through elevations, cross sections, and the generation of a 3D model. The CD is rounded out by covering complex roof designs and generating a site plan.
Quote from SoftPlan user: "The Intermediate Training CD is extremely informative. I have had SoftPlan for years and was able to improve my use of the program through working with this training CD. It gives one the opportunity to learn through reading while audibly hearing instructions and visually guiding one through each process. I recommend this CD to those who want to move to the next step of using the program. " - David Zammit, www.davidzammitarchitect.com
