I am graduating an Architectural Technology class.  We have used Revit, Autocad, and Sketchup.  I am going to work for a company that uses Softplan.  What is the best way to get a crash course in the basics of Softplan so I don't look like a complete tool when I start. Thanks

Since you are only a guest and dont have a specific key to get into the full forum I would suggest YouTube and look for Softplans channel.  Many of their tutorials end up there that can help you.  Once you start working there are video tutorials available online accessible when you use program

Years ago I taught myself the fundamentals of the program by reading the manual.  I would read a section, go into the program and take a test drive.  Paper manuals are no longer available but if you can get the last copy (I don't remember the last paper manual, Softplan 2014?).  You can also take the lessions available through the online help.  But if can not work on a copy of the program, see if the company has a paper manual.  If you get into the program, go to the help screen (far right).  Under that first window there is a contents tab and that takes you through the lessions.  Welcome.

Go through the you tube tutorials. You can request a demo version of the software to try it out here https://softplan.com/?page_id=1018
