Extra DVD with turboFloorPlan

[chipw]

I just got Turbocad with TurboFloorPlan from a friend, he was never able to use it. I installed TurboFloorPlan and am wondering about the extra dvd - 1001 Home Plans. It's just ridiculous to have to open every single one of the 1001 plans to see what the layout looks like. Is there a way to see previews or thumbnails of the plans?

Oh, I should mention this is an older version - v7.0.288

Hi,

Good job you mentioned v7. V7 will be the previous FloorPlan (incompatible with TurboFloorPlan), and the DVD is actually a CD! (CD2)

If you autorun the CD, you should get a menu, where you can select 'Browse 1,001 FloorPlans', which will lead to a page of instructions. You can then select a Style which will give a list of thumbnails of the houses (click on thumbnail for bigger picture), and basic details, but no thumbnails of Plans - so unfortunately you will have to note the number, and open in FloorPlan. (I checked my CD are there are no hidden plan thumbnails)

(The FloorPlan Forum used to have a link that allowed you to narrow the search, but this has long since been removed)

Note the plans are only basic anyway - walls, doors, windows - no roofs, dormers, pillars, and other embellishments seen in the house picture. So after checking a few you might not want to bother with the 1,001 anyway!

There is a still a FloorPlan Forum for the older versions, so if you get v7 running, it would be better to post questions there, to avoid confusion with current versions here.

Thanks for the info. I popped the cd in again and there is no autorun, no index, nothing but 1029 .bmf files. Oh well. I have designed my own house using a U shape, but was curious at other designs done by 'professionals'. I did open a couple of the files on the cd in the app and the fact that they are very basic is okay. I was just curious if there is any plan(s) for a U-shaped house.
Thanks again,
Chip
