-
- FAST PLANS is an automated house layout design programme.
- it is very easy to use, and will produce professional
- quality layouts.
- There are a large number of options available,
- some are customisable ( become the default settings),
- while others are available in the various dialogue boxes.
- If you know your external wall dimensions, you can
- produce drawings directly in Fast Plans without going in
- to....
-
- EASY LAYOUT, this sub programme works inside Fast Plans,
- use this to design your rooms layout, by dragging rooms
- around, adjusting them until you are satified with the
- design & sizes,then input the external wall width and
- number of lines, and mark the internal corners of the
- building (these will probably be corners of rooms - but
- do not have to be),
- the basic layout plan will then appear,
- click the Return to Fast Plans Icon to add all your doors,
- windows, more rooms, partitions or library items.
-
- SUNTRAK is a sub programme that shows the sun's rays
- as they affect any design produced with Easy Layout, or
- from Fast Plans, if you designed with Easy Layout you can
- return to your room layout and alter it to suit the sun.
-
- Although all programmes are very easy to follow,
- the eye level guide line shows what action to take,
- and there is a comprehensive on line help system,
- including context help (F1 key) available at all times.
- there are no printed manuals.
-
- IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS VERSION
- Slightly altered interface, Line function & Line with Text
- are now separated - no more messages! and best of all,
- very, very fast external wall drawing in Fast Plans if you do
- not need angled external walls. Just press Enter to start,
- select the arrow key for the line direction, input the length,
- again select the arrow key for the line direction, input the length,
- and so on...(you still have to go in a clockwise direction).
-
- DEMO VERSION
- Please Note:
- This is a full working copy of the real programme - but
- with a number of functions restricted.
- The Fast Plans programme is customised, in the demo
- wherever you see "DEMONSTRATION ONLY", the real
- programme replaces it with your name, exactly as shown
- by you on the order form ( your name is mandatory -
- the real programme will not run without it).
