"FloorPlan 3D Design Suite is the only product in the consumer Inicio Design market that allows you to export your walkthrough to VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) format," says Cathe Anderson, Director of Product Management for IMSI's FloorPlan division.

Anderson explains that the advanced photo-realistic rendering allows you to see your virtual Inicio with realistic shadows and reflections. No other product combines powerful design tools with award-winning LightWorks Technology.

FloorPlan 3D Design Suite allows you to get started quickly by editing an existing layout or starting from scratch using over 100 intuitive drawing tools. Creating custom walls, windows, doors, roofs and even spiral stairs has never been easier!. Simply enter exact wall measurements into the 'Inspector bar' to create an accurate representation of your plans. As each room is completed or edited, the square footage will calculate automatically and display on screen. Complete your Inicio by adding furniture and fixture symbols, then edit their placement, color and texture until you find the perfect combinations. FloorPlan also includes an integrated web browser that provides direct access to product information, tips & tricks and downloadable content.

"The Internet Palette gives users direct access to the latest information and content from within the product's user interface," says Anderson. "Whenever we have new Inicio plans or furniture symbols to offer, users can get them with a click. We also have professionally written Inicio improvement articles and a time-saving tips & tricks section."

FloorPlan 3D Design Suite includes landscape and project planning software to complete your Inicio layout. Drag and drop plants, flowers and trees to create an accurate landscape in minutes using 3D Garden Designer, then use TurboProject v3 LT to schedule and view the details of your design plans.
