Government Create Professional 2D/3D Designs In Minutes
TurboCAD® Mac Pro is a professional CAD application that offers the ultimate in design productivity and ease of use. Access powerful new 2D drafting tools, 3D surface modeling and ACIS® solid modeling tools, and over 11,000 symbols in an intuitive interface. Optimize drawing management with a new ability to organize layers into an unlimited number of sets and subsets, making it easy to turn on and off visual aspects and create more detailed designs.
Advanced Architectural Design Features
Choose from 1,000 included pre-designed floor plans, or start from scratch with the help of our Drafting Assistant. TurboCAD Mac’s new self-healing walls auto-dimension as they are drawn, auto trim wall vertices, and allow for assignment of a hatch pattern and color. When new parametric doors and windows are added to walls, the built-in intelligence automatically creates the needed openings. Users can also offset the door or window a prescribed distance from the end of the wall for precise placement.
Powerful Lighting & Rendering Options
Use powerful rendering and lighting tools to create professional presentations of your design ideas. Create photorealistic renderings for true-to-life presentations, or use the new sketch rendering options for stills and animations that look hand-drawn, appropriate in the early stages of conceptual design.
Flexible CAD & Graphic Design Formats
drums1.gif Easily import existing designs from popular CAD and graphic design file formats, including AutoCAD® DWG/DXF. Just as easily, export your precision designs and technical drawings from TurboCAD to other CAD formats, or choose a popular desktop publishing formats such as EPS TIFF, CGM and more, to create brochures or other marketing materials. Even print design to your specifications with new options for better control of how the printed document will look.
Features
Powerful Photorealistic and Sketch Rendering
TurboCAD MAC PRO comes with the Lightworks Photorealistic Rendering Engine. Choose or customize any of the hundreds bitmap materials included, or apply any *.BMP or *.JPG images to your 3D models for optimal realism. Produce professional quality renderings of your designs by adding lighting, shadowing, reflectance, roughness and environmental effects.
New Sketch rendering for stills and animations makes it easier for computer-generated models to look hand drawn. By avoiding the photo-realistic rendering look, artistic and emotional appeal can be brought out in the design. It is particularly appropriate in the early stages of conceptual design to avoid the feeling of completion. Sketch styles include: Cartoon, Color Wash, Contour, Hand Drawn, Hatch, Ink Print, Line & Color Fill, Line & Shadow, Mosaic, Oil Painting, Rough Pencil, Soft Pencil, and Stipple.
Advanced 3D Surface Modeling
TurboCAD Mac Pro takes your designs further. Primitives, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are included for surface modeling
A partial list of the Surface tools include:
- Skinned Surface - fits a network of NURB patches to a collection of curves that act as cross-sections for the final surface.
- Cover Surface - creates a surface from curves connected end to end
- Tube Suface – quickly and efficiently create a tube or pipe along a reference curve.
- Revolve Surface - This tool allows you to revolve a curve about an existing curve.
- Fillet Surface - blends two surfaces that share an edge or intersection. This tool does not extend surfaces.
- Draft Surface – This tool extends a surface to create a new surface attached to the end of the original surface.
- Net Surface - A net surface is not the same as a mesh. As the name implies, net surfaces are nurb surfaces. Net surfaces are nurb surfaces. A mesh is defined by nodes or 3D vertices. The Net Surface tool creates a surface defined by a grid of M rows and N columns, where M and N are letter identifiers referring to the number of rows or columns.
ACIS® Solid Modeling
Utilizing the ACIS® solid modeling technology, TurboCAD MAC PRO offers realistic, complex 3D object creation as well as data crucial for engineers. Choose from a variety of 3D primitives (Boxes, Spheres, Cones, Torus, Prisms and Pryamids etc…), and access 3D utilities (Trim, Add, Subtract, Union, Split, Stitch & Thicken), solid feature tools (Blend, 3D Fillet & Chamfer, Shelling, Bend, Hole & Boss), solid face modification tools (Draft, Match, Offset, Remove), and advanced modifiers (Twist, Strecth,). Some of the ACIS tools are:
- Bend Solid - bends a solid about an axis through a given radius.
- The Trim Solid tool trims a solid with a curve, surface, or solid. The trim tool is useful for removing material from a base solid. In addition to trimming to surfaces or another solid, the trim solid tool has the unique ability to allow trimming a solid to a curve.
- Skinned Solids – Creates a solid from a collection of closed profiles. Create skin solids using profiles composed of individual curves (such as circles or ellipses) or grouped curves. A profile composed of individual curves does not have to be grouped for use with this tool.
- Polygon from Curves Tool – Draws a polygon with the number of sides determined by chosen points.
Advanced Editing
History Free editing of your parts allows for tremendous flexibility in your design approach by allowing you to manipulate the individual components of a part without having to maintain a part tree which can be both time consuming and complex to manage.
Assembly Tools
- Assembly Connect - The Assembly Connect tool to connects one solid to another at a specified connection point.
- Assembly Mate - mates planar faces. You can specify an offset distance between mated faces.
- Assembly Align - aligns a face of two solid objects and supports cylindrical, spherical and planar faces.
- Assembly Insert - aligns and mates the faces of two solid objects. The align faces must be cylindrical and the mate faces must be planar. This tool is very useful for inserting bolts into holes.
Complete Set of 2D Tools
TurboCAD Mac Pro provides unlimited design options with its complete set of 2D tools. Choose from a number 2D drafting tools including line, arch, curve, circle, ellipse, and spline tools. Access text and dimensioning tools and 2D modifier tools like fillet & chamfer tools as well as 2D Transformation tools for easy editing.
- Polygon from Curves Tool – Draws a polygon with the number of sides determined by chosen points.
- Connect Curve Tool - Join Option - The Join Curve option replaces the two curves you select with a new spline curve. This tool will also join two polylines
- Sketch Spline Tool – samples points as the cursor moves and creates a smooth spline through the sampled data. Once selected this tool has two options, the Sketch Spline tool and Sketch on a Surface tool.
- Fair Spline Tool - The Fair Spline command provides a tool to globally smooth a curve. Fairing a spline optimally moves control vertices to locations that minimize large curvature variations.
1,000 Floor Plans
Start from scratch or choose from any one of these pre-designed floor plans you can customize to make each one your own.
Over 11,000 2D/3D symbols and parts
Choose from thousands of parts and symbols to effortlessly add to your design including electrical, mechanical, bathroom, kitchen, construction, LAN, CMOS, doors, windows, counters, fasteners, HVAC and more. Use the symbols browser to quickly locate just what you need, enhanced to now display symbol filenames.
New Architectural Design Tools
Smart walls- TurboCAD Mac’s self-healing walls automatically join, intersect, intelligently to speed design. Additional Walls options include auto-dimensioning (applied as they are drawn), auto trim of wall vertices, and assignment of hatch patterns and colors.
Parametric Doors & Windows– Choose from 3 door styles (Single, Single Standard, or Double) and 3 window styles (Overlapping Sill, Standard Sill and Tight Sill) to drag-and-drop into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall. In addition, users can offset the door or window a prescribed distance from the end of the wall for rapid and precise placement.
Complete File Compatible & Conversion Options
Easily import your graphic designs files into TurboCAD and turn them into precision CAD drawings with dimensions. Just as easily, you can export technical drawings from TurboCAD into desktop publishing formats, perfect for use in brochures and all other marketing materials.
