Incorporating powerful path tracing, the DirectX 12 renderer is a technological leap to unparalleled performance and realism. Additionally, the combination of physically based rendering and real-time ray tracing allows SoftPlan to perform lighting calculations that achieve natural light flow and shadows while working in the model and creating spectacularly detailed 3D images.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-10441-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-10441-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-10441-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Nest<\/h3><div class=\"textwidget\"><p>Nested Regions provide a simple and convenient way to insert reference drawings and drawing regions into floor plans that often repeat layouts and other design elements, such as apartment building plans. Once created and inserted into a drawing, nested regions can then be moved, rotated, and modified to seamlessly join with existing elements on the drawing. Nested Regions also have the option to automatically sync to their sources so that they will update as changes are made to the original drawing. With only a few clicks of the mouse to create and insert Nested Regions, this new feature saves time while providing the precision needed to design complete, accurate plans.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-10441-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce\" data-index=\"6\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-10441-2-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-embedded-video\" data-index=\"7\" >\t\t<div class=\"siteorigin-fitvids\"><iframe width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1mKAzG13xTU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div id=\"panel-10441-2-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-embedded-video panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" >\t\t<div class=\"siteorigin-fitvids\"><iframe width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/onoVSgSOFzI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-10441-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-10441-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-10441-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child\" data-index=\"9\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Stepped Rake Walls<\/h3><div class=\"textwidget\"><p>SoftPlan\u2019s Wall edit menu now provides the ability to design complex wall shapes by customizing the tops and bottoms of walls.
