What SoftPlan is
SoftPlan is home design software for residential and light commercial work, aimed at professional users creating detailed drawings, 3D renderings, and material takeoffs. It stores floor-plan information in a virtual model that produces construction documents, renderings, and materials lists. SoftList can generate material lists and cost-estimate reports from plan data. SoftPlan 2026 supports physically based rendering textures and imports SketchUp symbols into 3D models. The software imports and exports AutoCAD DWG and DXF files, exports models to SketchUp and MiTek SAPHIRE, and integrates with REScheck for energy compliance reports. New product subscriptions include SoftPlan, SoftList, reView, and SoftPlan+ cloud services. Existing supported licenses can use SoftPlan+ for $79 a month; a new product subscription costs $169 a month and is available only in the US and Canada. The program requires supported 64-bit Windows 11 with Intel or AMD processors. Subscribers and their customers or trades can view plans and 3D views on iPads or iPhones through reView.
