What's New in Version 16?
BIM Design
NEW Floor and Ceiling Framing
The floor and ceiling functionality has been improved to make it faster and easier to specify your framing configuration. You can now designate the specific floor joist, rim joist and opening header from the catalog. In addition, you can also specify the Usage and Phase from the library which can be sorted and grouped appropriately for lumber ordering and delivery.
IMPROVED Tapered Columns
Columns can now be tapered using several new variables. By editing the properties of a column, you can change its shape to control the taper distance in either direction to achieve the look of the column desired. Taper distances can be set for rectangular and also for round columns.
Duplicate to Locations improvements
The Duplicate to Locations command has been enhanced to prompt whether you would like to erase the original selection or not.
2D Roof Component Display added
A new 2D roof component has been added to the roof object to display the representation in plan view independently from the elevation view; now roof line styles, colors and weights can be designated independently in these views.
Mirror Command Improvement
The Mirror command has been enhanced to prompt whether you would like to erase the original selection or not.
Usability
NEW From Template
The New ‘From Template’ command allows you to select from a series of predefined templates on startup, and use these settings as a base for a new project. Templates may contain the following:
- Wall framing configurations
- Building Location settings
- Program Settings
- Dimension setting configurations
- Drafting preferences
IMPROVED Print Scale Override
The print scale override function allows you to independently specify the print scale from the drawing (view) scale. Now you can keep your drawing scale and annotation consistent but override the print scale independently when outputting to a print device.
IMPROVED Nudge Command
Under the Drawing Settings section of the Program Settings dialog you can now set up the feature to use the arrow keys for one nudge distance and another distance that uses the Control key in combination with the arrow keys.
IMPROVED Auto-scroll
You can now choose to only activate auto scroll when depressing the Control key. The auto-scroll feature is an extremely useful feature when drawing objects such as walls that might be longer than anticipated in your current view.
Documentation

Key Features:
New Snap Tracking
When inserting/editing/positioning elements, you can hover over a previously inserted element’s snap points to project a virtual line along the same path or at polar/angle snap angles to allow current object to be snapped to. It’s a great way to perfectly align cabinets, furniture, pictures on walls, recess lighting, multiple windows and doors, footings and even works with the layout tools!
This major improvement allows you to automatically generate accurate door and window schedules, including markers. Change your windows or doors then automatically update your schedules. No more creating schedules by hand! The time savings are incredible.
Improved Render Dialog
Reviewing design alternatives and quickly comparing “what-if” scenerios is now even easier with the improved render dialog. Now the render dialog box retains its size and camera position so that you can exit and tweak a model, such as change paint color, lights, etc. in between renders. This will allow you to achieve exactly the same ‘shot’ as the previous camera setup.
Improved Landscape Paths
TurboFloorPlan makes it easy to create driveways and pathways to navigate through lush gardens and lawns. Now, it’s even easier to set the precise placement of these paths because they are now constrained, or fixed to their original placement, when lengthening or shortening. Right-clicking allows for the stretch command which can be used to move the paths endpoint around.
New Room Dimension Tool
Quickly insert the Length and Width of a room with this new dimension tool to speed design.
Improved Site Boundaries
Snap to setback lines and points on boundary as well.
New Drop Exterior Face Option
New TurboFloorPlan 15 provides added flexibility with its new drop exterior face option. This option is used when a wall has an exterior side and is using the exterior surface material….this is the case when walls connect together creating an enclosed boundary. For example, 4 walls create and enclosed building which means there is a definite interior side and a definite exterior side….if and enclosed boundary is not made, then all sided of all the walls will be considered ’interior’ and use the associated interior surface material.
We have now also introduced the ability to force a wall side to be ‘exterior’ meaning it could be sitting out in the middle of a field on it’s own, have both it’s left & right faces forced to exterior which would mean they would have a brick or siding material (the exterior material) instead of an interior material (such as drywall) by default.
Dropping the face on exterior surfaces is used to extend the brick/siding down in a 3D view so that it covers the floor framing (since walls would normally be drawn with their base plate on the floor).
Improved Model View Tooltips
One of the ways TurboFloorPlan helps you design is by displaying helpful information about tools on the fly, called Tooltips. Previously, accessed by right clicking, these tips can now be viewed by simply hovering your mouse over an object for a few seconds, and the Tooltip is displayed.
Improved SketchUp File Import
TurboFloorPlan has now extended its file format support to include import from the popular Google SketchUp v7 application. Now you can import your SketchUp designs and use TurboFloorPlan’s enhanced symbol, lighting, and material library to bring designs to life.
New StartUp
The controls you’ve been asking for are now available. Links to view QuickStart, Documentation, and the News Feed are now readily available at StartUp.
