When using the automatic entries on the plan set, such as @DATE, how can you make come out in CAPS???
In Architecture, everything must be be in CAPS…..
You may want to double check with support but I think the date format is set in your computer not within SoftPlan.
Is there a way to change the pen thickness for the watermark? I have tried a few things but haven’t had any luck
So with multiple building options within a plan set will we be able to have a base floor plan but have cut sheets showing different options (add on rooms) that could show on one sheet but not another? Please say yes!
yes!
Can we show the different positions for exterior doors – outswing doors the door would be at the front of the jamb and interior swing doors at back of jamb. Correct positioning of the exterior trim to show at 1/2″ or 1/4″ reveal instead of the jamb thickness.
Did this question ever get answered?
No place to comment in openings. So will add it here.
The ability to be able to show interior framing as one color and exterior framing as another color. Now if you make your interior jambs oak then exterior door and window jambs are the same color which in reality is not the way it works.
Got it. Looks like it’s scheduled for the next version.
Add scale notes for larger scale example 3/4″ = 1′-0″, or 3″=1′-0″
When you use Plan Sets in 2016 the scales are automatically created.
Yes! The template feature may be the biggest time-saver being implemented into 2014 yet! It gets tiring after several hundred projects to create and modify the exact same plan set scheme.
