Transition Option
A Transition Option Added to Wall Materials
Defining wall types can be a very time-consuming activity while designing a house, and, if a wall definition contains a material such as a brick ledge, even more time is spent creating new wall definitions simply to change the height of that one particular material.
One of SoftPlan 2018’s most time-saving additions is a new “transition” option that is available in the Wall Definition menu. This option provides a convenient method for specifying varying heights for transition materials within a single wall definition and eliminates the need to define multiple walls when the heights of a material should change.
A simple Wall edit allows you to control the height and slope of the transition material so that you can achieve a wide variety of constructions.
This is very useful for stepping walls or sloping the material to follow the grade.
Wall Joins
Wall Joins between different Walls with different materials at different heights improved.
Wall Joins between different Walls with like materials improved.
I really like the transition option and the way you can change the footings in the wall edit dialog. Great job!
