Add
Brick Check Option Added |
| |
A
new Opening Option for a “Brick Check” has been
added. When selected, this option will apply to all of the
Openings on the drawing. It will extend the brick (masonry)
material of a wall by 5/8” into the Rough opening
space. This is often used in marine climates to create a
water-tight composition around Opening frames. |

Add
Transom Command Added |
| |
Transoms
can easily be added to any existing Opening on a plan. This
is done with a simple Opening Edit and selection to add
a Transom. This feature will create a new Product Code by
modifying the existing one and add a casement window over
top at a specified height. |

Auto
Slope Top Elevation Opening Style Added |
| |
Within
the SoftPlan Openings libraries is a new type of window
called ‘Trapezoid.’ This window is different
in that it has the ability to automatically adjust the sloped
side to match the pitch of the top plate of the wall. Assuming
that the wall has been ballooned framed to the underside
of the roof, then by extension, the window will match the
roof pitch. |

Equally
Spaced Openings Command Added |

|
| |
|
| |
Garage
Doors – Rough Opening Width Can Be Less Than Opening
Width |
| |
With
Garage Doors, the Rough Opening Width can be set to a value
less than the Opening width. This feature gives the ability
to set a Garage Door to the inside of the wall, as this
will allow for a built-up system for overhead garage doors. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Hardware
(Handle) Option Added to Doors |
| |
Now
it is possible to add even more detail to Doors. Version
13 has the addition of a Door Hardware library with various
handle options that can be applied to doors. These will
be reflected in the SoftView 3D model. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

| |
|
| |
Hole
Cutting of Complicated Openings in Walls Improved |
| |
The
holes cut around openings have been improved to work for
more complicated shapes. This includes round top openings
placed on angled walls in the plan. These holes are needed
to closely cut out the section of the wall from around the
Opening symbols, which will be shown in SoftView. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Interior
Casing Profile Option Added |

Openings
now have the ability to apply detailed profiles to the Interior
Casing. These will be reflected in 3D models. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Open
in SoftView Option Added |
| |
This
is an excellent tool to use when doing walkthroughs of the
proposed building. When this option is selected, you can
move freely through unobstructed entryways in the SoftView
3D model. Openings will display open according to the angle
assigned to them, which can display a door partially or
fully open. This allows you and your customer to gain a
greater view of the building using SoftView as a visual
aid. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Opening
ID Added to Openings |
| |
With
the new Opening ID feature, labels can be applied to all
Openings on a drawing. SoftPlan can then automatically generate
the Opening Schedule to include this information. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Opening
Libraries Folder and Sub-Folders Added |
| |
The
structure from which Openings are drawn has been changed.
Openings are now set-up in a tree format. The Opening Libraries
can be expanded to select sub-folders for more specific
categories of openings. More options can be seen at once
with this new format. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Opening
Schedules - Width, Height, Rough Opening Width, and Rough
Opening Height Added |
| |
With
these new additions to the Opening Schedule options, Width,
Height, Rough Opening Width, and Rough Opening Height can
be added as separate entries. These options give the flexibility
to choose which dimensions will be shown on the generated
Opening Schedule. |
| |
|

|
| |
|
| |
|

Openings
Are Automatically Centered in a Wall When the Opening Width
is Greater that 50% of the Wall Length |
| |
This
is a terrific feature to be able to center Openings when
the width is greater than 50% of the wall length. For example,
when placing a garage door, it is no longer necessary to
manually center the opening along the length of the wall
it is placed on. SoftPlan recognizes that it is wider than
half the wall length and automatically centers it when drawn.
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Shutter
Option Allows for Placement: Left, Right, Both |
| |
This
option provides more flexibility with the placement and
design of Opening Shutters. Version 13 now has the ability
to apply the Shutter type to the Left, Right, or apply to
Both sides of the Opening when the Shutter option is enabled.
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Shutters
Display as Non-Printing Items in the Plan |
| |
When
Shutters are enabled for an Opening, there will be a profile
shown in plan view outlining them. This feature is for display
purposes to ensure that the Shutters have been applied.
The outlines will appear on the drawing screen but will
not be printed with the floor plan. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Shutters
Extract as Multiple Surfaced 3D Symbols |
| |
The
standard Shutters available in Version 13 have been linked
to a corresponding 3D symbol. These 3D symbols were created
with many solid surfaces that include indentations, paneling,
and other details that provide a more accurate representation
for the 3D model. Many more Shutter styles have been configured
and added to this Standard Library. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Tempered
Option Added |
| |
The
Tempered Glass option can be applied to any Opening. This
will provide the basis to be able to specify these opening
types within a SoftList formula by using the corresponding
variable ‘has_tempered_glass’. |
