Any idea what program they are importing softplan projects in to make this possible?

I'm doing it with softplan and Lumion

Sam,

Looking at Lumion website.  Doesn't show SoftPlan as an import.  Can you say a little more about how you use it?

[Sam Morgan]

Softplan has an export to sketchup feature.  Sketchup is native for Lumion.  Makes it really easy.  I only bought Lumion with the agreement that my daughter in law would learn it and do most of the rendering work.  She has a background in interior design so it was a natural for her.  I'm only using Lumion for presentations to sell stock plans.  I'll occasionally use it with a custom home client, but for me, softplan 3D is more than enough for working with clients on their custom work.

Thanks for the feedback, Sam.

Currently, i use Blender as the transition software to go to several different types of formats for viewing in a VR environment and possible printing.  However, every program i have used for viewing in VR the model has missing parts like walls and roof sections, but only from certain angles.  I have been trying to find a way to use VR to show customers what their house will look like when they stand in the living room, kitchen, etc.  It has been a troublesome process to say the least.  I have documented this in some videos i made and posted on Youtube.
