Does Softplan come with a basement window list?  What about a steel access door for the crawl. Both would be for concrete openings.  Both would be a softlist issue if you were to use a generic homemade version.

You can easily define almost any product you can conceive. Whatever you want it to do is just a matter of configuring ANYTHING to display or list how YOU want it too.

There is a Bilco symbol library in SoftPlan that may help.

btw guest who asked the question,

if you use a sketchup 3d model from the sketchup 3d warehouse,

use a softplan "opening arch or cross" for the hole in the wall

where you put the 3d model metal access door

I think that the confusion is that Bilco is under Symbols and not Openings

Thanks Yvon,

Kinda hard to believe theres no library for foundation openings besides Bilco.  Pink Flamingos, gas grills, automobiles, No foundation openings. I guess its still better than whats ever in second place.
