SoftPlan reView streamlines collaboration throughout the building process. SoftPlan reView greatly improves communication throughout the building process. reView gives instant access, anywhere, to SoftPlan drawings, even by non-SoftPlan users! Through PC or a Pocket PC, reView allows all those involved in a building project, from the designer, builder, trade contractors, to the client to view, comment, and mark-up the drawings. reView files can be viewed on a \PC, Lap Top or Pocket PC, providing the convenience of taking drawings to the site, timberyard, and client meetings to record changes or snagging items. Any mark-ups or comments added to the reView drawings can be loaded directly back into the SoftPlan 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 addtion, 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. Snagging 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 by clicking on logo below. 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.
