New Features

“Selector 3D \ Conceptual \ Lighting \ Visualize”

“Selector 3D \ Conceptual \ Lighting \ Visualize”

TurboCAD 2024 welcomes a new Visualize section within the Selector properties dialog, found on the Selector 3D page in the Conceptual tree, within the Lighting sub-tree. This section introduces users to a trio of lighting parameters for a more dynamic design experience: • Type: Offers a selection of default lighting types to best complement your designs. • Intensity: Provides the ability to adjust the light’s brightness to your preference. • Ambient Factor: Allows you to modify the ambient light level to enhance the overall lighting effect. These parameters are designed to offer users complete control over their lighting setup, adding depth and realism to their 3D models.

“Blend Curves” tool

“Blend Curves” tool

TurboCAD 2024 introduces the Blend Curves tool, a versatile feature that smooths the transition between polylines and curves. This tool operates in two distinct modes to suit your design needs: • G2 continuous: This mode creates a seamless Bezier segment using two points, their directions, and curvatures, ensuring a smooth and continuous curve that naturally follows your design flow. • Minimize curvature radius: For designs requiring tighter curves, this mode generates a Bezier segment with the smallest possible maximum radius of curvature, providing a more pronounced bend. Both modes offer you the flexibility to create polished and professional-looking curves with ease, enhancing the quality of your CAD projects.

New property

New property "Sun dir by geo-location"

TurboCAD 2024 introduces the innovative Sun dir by geo-location property for the Sun and Sky2 shaders, leveraging drawing geolocation data for accurate directional calculation. When deactivated, the Dir parameter steps in to determine direction with precision.
