I'm away most of this week, but I'll probably download one of the versions on trial next week to play around with it a bit; I've tried a few other bits of software but I didn't feel they could produce planning standard plans for me. Which version should I download? Can I trial the Premium version and then just buy the basic? And what is the Lite version that is referenced to in places, there's no price for that?

You can import your plan as a bmp or jpg file into Visual Building, then scale it and the use it to trace your wall placements, door and window placements. Its not automatic, but its a fast way to get your drawing back to an editable format. To achieve this, you would only need Visual Building Basic.
If you had a DWG / DXF format plan you could have used Visual Building Professional to import that plan. If you need to Export at a later date to DWG / DXF (to use in AutoCAD) then you would need Visual Building Premium. Here is a video demonstrating the steps: |

Hi
A couple of years ago I had some plans drawn up on Autocad, but I never went ahead with the work at that time. I'm currently considering submitting an application, but I've lost track of the guy who did the work previously, and I'd like to make a few changes to the plans. Rather than start from scratch, would it be relatively straightford to import the plans I have (they're PDFs but I can easily convert them to JPGs), make the modifications, and produce something good enough to get through Planning Permission and Building Control? If I was looking to do this, which of your products would best suit my needs? |
