     back to top
NEW FloorPlan v7.3 Update (5.84MB)
NOTE: you will need the FloorPlan v7.0 CD to complete the update
please update to FloorPlan 7.2 (below) before running the 7.3 patch.

The following items were fixed in version 7.3 (in comparison with version 7.2):

  • Default brightness of light sources was changed.
  • The range in which brightness values can be set was increased.
  • The problem with certain light sources not shining was fixed. Note: When opening files from FloorPlan v7.2, it will be necessary to delete the existing incorrect light sources and set them anew.
  • The problem was fixed, which was related to representation in Plan View (Zoom Extents) of the files that have incorrect elements (in v7.2, this caused the entire plan to disappear).
  • The problem with representation of stairs that have a circular segment was fixed.
  • The possibility to place cabinets from right to left was added.
  • Landscape - a limitation of 1000 Nodes was introduced for "Regular Sloped Mesh".
  • IPF was fixed, which occurred when removing one section of a cabinet.
  • IPF was fixed, which occurred when collapsing the Palette in 3D View.
  • IPF was fixed, which occurred in certain cases when calling Properties for a created group.

FloorPlan v7.2 Update (5.23MB)
NOTE: you will need the FloorPlan v7.0 CD to complete the update

The following items were fixed in version 7.2 (in comparison with version 7.1):
1. Roofs.
The issue surrounding the corruption of roofs when importing files created in earlier versions of FloorPlan was fixed.
Hip and Gable segments are now displaying properly when changes are made to the roof properties.
Multi-level roofs - In 3D view, the default value line selection for roof properties in the Size tab was changed to the first line rather than the selected roof segment.
2. Walls.
Editing Wall position via Inspector Bar was improved.
3. Deck, Balconies.
Many defects were fixed that appeared when Decks and Balconies were built using a Script.
4. Symbols.
The method for adding and new creating symbols by pressing "Add New" or Ctrl + was improved by modifying the "Add New" button function in the Plan View Palette.
The ability to change parameter settings for Lights was added.
5. Rendering.
Default brightness of light sources was reduced to a more realistic wattage (reduced).
6. Landscape.
Tool tip that displays node elevation was added.
For the Tool tip to appear:
Insert a Landscape, select it --> Local Menu/Edit Node. When the cursor hovers over a Node, a Tool tip will appear displaying the Elevation value for the Node.
7. Fence/Gate.
The algorithm of working with Fences and inserting Gates was improved.
8. 3DS Filter.
IPF was fixed, which appeared when 3DS files from TurboCAD were inserted.
In TurboCAD v8.2, set the "Save Keyframe" option to OFF in Setup dialog for a 3DS file Export. This will allow the user to create 3DS files that can be correctly imported in FloorPlan.
(TurboCAD v8.0 and v8.1 do not have this option, and complex 3DS files, created in these versions, will not be imported in FloorPlan properly.)
9. Installation.
The algorithm of installing DAO modules was changed.
10. Help.
Cosmetic defects were fixed in many Help sections.
11. Miscellaneous
- Undo after deleting Tracing Layer.
- Crash that occurred when deleting a Level in some files.
