Whether youÕre a FloorPlan pro or have just started using the program ÔMastering FloorPlan v8.2 AdvancedÕ is for you. This new book, written by accomplished TurboCAD writer Kevin Doucette and FloorPlan master Jack Zimmer, delves into every aspect of the FloorPlan design.
While the documentation included with FloorPlan does quite a good job in telling you what the program can do, this new book goes far beyond that and shows you what you only imaged the program could accomplish.
Some of the elements featured in this book include: Database manipulation, Advanced roof designs, Post and Beam construction, Crown molding, Sloped walls, Shutters, Corner boards, Corner windows and much much more. Probably the newest addition to v8.2 is the ability to produce sub-grade floor levels. You can now create basements and the ground plane is not in the way.
Also included in this book is a large section on the integration of TurboCAD v9 with FloorPlan v8.2. You will see (and learn how to) create your own 3D objects in TurboCAD and insert them directly into your FloorPlan designs. You will also see how easy it is to transfer your FloorPlan designs into TurboCAD, using the FloorPlan Bridge, for your advanced design needs.
A great section on Rendering and Material usage should help out every FloorPlan user. Learn how you can create a Render Preview window so you donÕt have to wait hours to see that the final render was not what you were hoping for. Learn how to incorporate new custom made materials into the program. A section on VRML export is also covered in the book. Learn how to create VRML files that anyone can use to walkthrough your FloorPlan design without the use of FloorPlan itself!
The final section of the book includes dozens of ÔTips and TricksÕ which will assist FloorPlan users of every kind.
All of this and a great deal more is included in the masterful book ÔMastering FloorPlan v8.2 AdvancedÕ. There is no better book on the market dealing with the vast world of FloorPlan v8. Buy a copy today!
