Design Features in TurboCAD
Innovative Architectural Tools
TurboCAD’s architectural tools let you design floorplans, decks, kitchens,
bathrooms, room additions and more. Start in 2D and then easily convert your
finished drawings into photorealistic 3D spaces. Plus, apply light effects and
camera views to simulate video fly-through of your finished
spaces.
Intelligent Parametric Walls
Self-Healing 2D & 3D Walls -
Walls automatically join and intersect, and update
automatically
Single-Click Wall Dimensions - One-step incremental and
overall dimensions
Wall Openings for Doors/Windows - “Slide” doors,
windows, arches or any shape to create “openings” in walls with linked 2D and 3D
views for correct representation in any view.
Parametric Doors & Windows
Window and Door dimensions are fully parametric and can be scaled to
meet your design needs. Doors and Windows can be further customized with
application of materials to the different parts of each object. Then, simply
drag and drop them as objects into the self healing walls of your 3D drawing.
TurboCAD will even automatically generate the appropriate symbol for the 2D
version of the drawing.
TurboCAD Deluxe offers 2 types of parametric
doors and windows. For additional types and shapes and more architectural
functionality, consider TurboCAD Pro 15 Architectural
Edition.
Fractional Dimensions
Display fractions in stacked, diagonal,
or in-line layout to accommodate your personal
preferences.
Point Marker Tool
Automatically number objects such as rooms,
doors or windows and is great for creating legends, call outs, or simply mapping
points and adding notes to your drawings.
Mechanical Design Features in TurboCAD
Sophisticated Mechanical Tools
TurboCAD’s
mechanical drafting tools let you design everything from engines and mechanical
parts, to circuit boards, technical drawings and more. Create complex 3D shapes
simply by extruding (pulling) them from your 2D shapes. Edit directly in 3D mode
and apply colors , brush styles and lighting effects to create stunning visual
presentations.
2D
and 3D Boolean Operations
Create complete 3D objects easily with
one-step 3D shape tools, or extrude, revolve, and more. Even the most complex
designs are easy. Simply transform primitive objects into sophisticated 3D
models with Boolean operations like add, intersect, subtract, and
slice.
Revolve
Create a 3D object by revolving a 2D object around a revolution
axis.
Extrudes
& Sweeps
 Create complex 3D
models by simply extruding (pulling) them from simple 2D shapes. Or use Sweeps
to extrude complex shapes along a path that you define. Perfect for drafting
irregular objects such as pipes that must be routed around other
objects.
Automatic,
Editable Meshes
Easily create complex meshes by entering coordinate
information or importing matrix data from Excel®. Then
view, edit and render the mesh directly into TurboCAD.
NEW and Improved Snaps
Draw lines
quickly and let snap tools automatically align them with the closest center
point, end point, or dozens of points you choose. Plus new geometric alignment
aids offer improved snap indicators and superior auxiliary line presentation
for:
Improved Tangent Snaps
Improved Projection Snaps
Improved Perpendicular Line Snaps
Improved Parallel Line Snaps
Improved Tangent from Arc Snaps
Floating and Shaped Viewports
Create multiple viewports of Model space in multiple Paper spaces.
Then edit your viewports by changing their shape or the layers that they
display. You can even render within a viewport.
Multiple Drawings/Multiple Paper Space
Build multiple drawings, each with multiple paper spaces, with
independent settings (grid units, etc.); then use tabs to quickly switch between
paper spaces.
