SoftPlan Systems has released SoftPlan 2012, multidocument interface. The CAD package now offers a 3D rendering engine and allows nearly all tasks to be completed in either a 2D drawing or a 3D model. In addition, building data is now integrated directly with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Rescheck Building Energy Codes Program. SoftPlan 2012 includes enhanced libraries consisting of more than 33,000 construction details, textures, and 3D symbols. This is the software’s 14th release and a demonstration DVD as well as trial version of the software are available. softplan.com
