| Benefits |
|
| Advanced Architectural Tools |
Door and Window Schedule
Adding a window or door into a drawing dynamically updates the schedule. User has complete control over how text will appear. |
Improved Style Manager for Architectural Designs
Customize or modify styles and parameters for architectural object types, schedules, text and AEC dimensions down to the last detail. Define a style guide and manage how objects are defined, look and behave.
|
Walls
Walls automatically create openings for parametric doors and windows. TurboCAD also offers a host of supporting tools for walls. |
| - |
Wall Dimension tool – Quickly assign dimensions to any straight wall, including dimension thickness. Place dimensions in parallel or at any angle from the wall. |
| - |
Join/Split/Modify/Dimension Walls – Intelligent walls automatically join, intersect, and split when placing a door or window and even update dimensions automatically after you edit them. |
| - |
Intelligent Walls – Self-healing intersection and ends for quickly layout floor plans. |
| - |
Convert to wall – convert existing lines, polylines, circles and curves into walls. |
|
Doors and Windows
Drag-and-drop parametric doors and windows into your walls. Choose from hundreds of possible combinations of architectural styles and materials. |
| - |
20 Parametric Door Types – Single*, Double, Single-hung, Double-hung, Double Opposing, Uneven, Uneven-hung, Uneven Opposing, Bifold, Bifold-Double, Pocket, Double Pocket, Sliding Double, Sliding Triple, Overhead, Revolving, Pass Through, Accordion, Panel, and Communicating. |
| - |
7 Parametric Door Shapes – Rectangular, Half Round, Quarter Round, Arch, Gothic, Peak Pentagon, and Custom. |
| - |
15 Parametric Window Types – Picture, Single Hung, Double Hung, Awning Transom, Double Casement, Glider, Hopper Transom, Pass Through, Single Casement, Single Hopper, Single Awning, Vertical Pivot, Horizontal Pivot, Uneven Single Hung, and Uneven Double Hung. |
| - |
14 Parametric Window Shapes – Rectangular, Round, Half Round, Quarter Round, Oval, Arch, Trapezoid, Gothic, Isosceles Triangle, Right Triangle, Peak Pentagon, Octagon, Hexagon, and Custom. |
|
NEW! Slabs
Increase architectural design capabilities with parametric slabs, particularly for multi-level structures. The ability to cut holes in slabs is also supported. |
Stairs
Stairs can be created in just 3 clicks and are fully parametric. Choose from straight*, multi-landing, spiral, and U-shaped styles. Specify material, stair dimensions and more.
|
Rails
This parametric object type lets you define hundreds of rail types and set location, post position, and extension parameters. |
Roofs
Intelligent roofs let you alter the pitch, add skylights, move items, change materials and self heal after a move. |
NEW! Integrated Building Materials Scheduler from 1st Pricing
The most advanced, user friendly building materials scheduler available. Generate accurate real-time schedules, including specifications and price quotes. Create and manage multiple schedules and bids with your free 1st Pricing ID. |
Improved Terrain Tool
Place your design on a hillside or uneven terrain. Create terrains from scratch of by importing Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) data from standard file formats. Even create terrain objects from selected points. |
Improved Schedule Table
Adding a window or door into a drawing dynamically updates the schedule. Now includes support for walls and slabs. User has complete control over how text will appear. |
|
| 2D Drafting |
| Advanced Drawing Tools - Employs over 40 line, arc, curve and spline tools |
| Constraints - Apply relationships between 2 or more objects via dimensional and geometric constraints for accurate designs which can then be adjusted easily |
| Select Copy & Editing Tools - Comes equipped with tools to allow you to quickly select objects by type, colour or by layer |
| Annotation Tools – Dimensioning and Text are vital to any CAD Drawing ours include: |
| - |
Smart, Quick and Baseline which allow you to dimension automatically |
| - |
Associate Dimensions |
| - |
freely move, rotate, or resize the associated objects and the dimension will retain its position relative to the objects, and the dimension text will change automatically to reflect changes |
| - |
Precise Dimensioning up to 10 decimal points |
| - |
Formats include: Architectural, Fractional, Engineering, Decimal and Surveyor |
| - |
Multi-Text formatting and scaling options |
| Parametric Parts, Blocks & Symbols - Parametric Parts greatly enhance this feature by allowing you to create your own parameter driven components for increased changes productivity |
| Block Attributes - Is AutoCAD®-style informational text associated with a block that you can enter whenever you insert a block |
| Hatches Patterns and Line Styles - Apply hatch patterns by object or pick-points to add the finishes touches to your production drawings |
| |
| 3D Conceptual Design and Rendering |
| ACIS Solid Modelling – Provides realistic 3D object creation as well as data crucial for engineers such as Volume, Moments of inertia, centre of gravity and surface area |
| Lightworks - Allows you to place lighting and luminance to your entire environment and allows you to apply bitmap materials to any 3D face for dramatic realism |
| Profile Editing - 3D objects that are created by performing a function on a 2D profile can be modified to update the 3D object that is based on it |
| Assembly Tools - Easily combining multiple components together to create one part has been made especially easy with TurboCAD new assemble tools |
| Part Tree - Allows you to go back to any procedural step in your design and make modifications without losing any subsequent work |
