What SoftPlan is
SoftPlan is paid home design software for residential and light commercial work, targeted at professional users. It stores floor-plan information in a virtual model that produces construction documents, 3D renderings, and materials lists. SoftList can generate material lists and cost-estimate reports from plan details. SoftPlan 2026 supports physically based rendering textures and direct import of SketchUp symbols into 3D models. AutoCAD DWG and DXF files can be imported or exported; models can be exported to SketchUp and MiTek SAPHIRE. REScheck integration produces energy compliance reports. The new product subscription includes SoftPlan, SoftList, reView, and SoftPlan+ cloud services. Existing supported licenses cost $79 a month, while a new product subscription costs $169 a month and is available only in the US and Canada. The program supports 64-bit Windows 11 on Intel or AMD processors. iPad and iPhone plan viewing is available through reView.
