SoftPlan reView is designed to facilitate communication between the designer, client, builder, trade contractors, and their staff. reView gives anyone access, anywhere, to SoftPlan drawings and the 3D model.
SoftPlan reView is a component of and included with the SoftPlan+ Subscription.
“I have found great success with reView 3D. I recently designed a home for a builder and created a 3D interior and exterior model in reView 3D. When the builder showed the 3D reView file to the buyers, the contract for the house was signed that day! Since the buyers were able to see what the house would look like, they were sold right then and there. Several days later the buyers said ‘We bought the house because we were able to see it in 3D.’
This is such a tremendously powerful sales and presentation tool, that I now have clients that want me to create 3D models with reView on existing floorplans. This has allowed me to generate even more business for myself.”

"We are design-build, and purchased the reView module years ago. It is not so much a tool where minor changes can be made by others, as much as it is a toolbox for review, with lots of plan study and note tools for communications.
Our clients who have downloaded the free reView software from SoftPlan find the learning curve easy, and use it from early design submissions through site punch out. They also understand it is easily the best tool for interactive communications between us in both the design and build process.
Our subs, some vendors and professional service providers (structural engineers) have also enjoyed the benefits.
I recommend the reView tools, and would do it again if I had not done so before."
