TurboCAD MAC Deluxe 2D / 3D V5 (Mac)

KEY FEATURES Design in 2D and 3D in one easy to use application TurboCAD Mac Deluxe has all the powerful 2D drafting and design features of TurboCAD Mac Designer, as well as additional tools for creating 3D models and shaded view renderings. Plus, TurboCAD Mac Deluxe comes with a complete 2D/3D parts and symbols library to drag and drop into your drawing and speed up the design process. Complete Set of 2D Drafting Tools TurboCAD Mac offers a large selection of 2D tools, so that no matter the situation you've got access to the right tool for the job. Included you'll find line, arc and curve tools, like the new fair curve tool. Plus access circle, ellipse, polygon, and spline tools, including the new freehand spline tool. You'll also find power text and dimensioning tools, fillet and chamfer tools, as well as 2D modifier and transformation tools. Drafting Assistant and Snaps The Drafting Assistant thinks like a drafter. It automatically knows where construction lines are typically wanted and displays them temporarily as you draw. Combined with snaps to quickly locate tangent and perpendicular points or align to x, y, z axis edges, faces or workplanes, making TurboCAD Mac ideal for modelling in 3D or quickly laying floorplans, diagrams and more.

Advanced Tools for 3D Design and Rendering TurboCAD Mac Deluxe goes beyond Designer allowing users to create 3D models without sacrificing speed or ease of use. Mesh tools - create 3D mesh designs from multiple points. Surface modelling - primitive, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are all included. ACIS Solid modelling technology - Choose from a variety of 3D primitives and access 3D utilities, solid feature tools, solid face modification tools, and more. 1,000 Floor Plans Start from scratch or choose from any one of these pre-designed floor plans you can customise 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. History Free Editing Easily move, scale or rotate the individual components of your parts without having to maintain a part-tree.

New Architectural Design Tools Smart walls - self-healing walls automatically join and 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 colours.

Parametric Doors and 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 and Conversion Options Easily import your graphic designs files into TurboCAD and turn them into precision CAD drawings with dimensions. Plus, export technical drawings from TurboCAD into desktop publishing formats, perfect for use in brochures and all other marketing materials.

Import or export from these popular formats: 3DS, Adobe EPS, Adobe Illustrator (export only), Adobe Photoshop, BMP, AutoCAD DWG/DXF, IGS, JPG, PICT, PNG with alpha channel export, ACIS SAT, Spline, STL, STEP, TIFF, TEXT, Truespace COB, Claris CAD (import only)


You can also use TurboCAD's powerful batch conversion tool to batch convert a collection of drawings to other file formats.

Printing, Publishing and PDF

Use the page layouts to publish your design from up to 4 different view angles on a single page. New shaded view options for Page Layouts offer greater control of how the printed document will look. Users can also save designs as single or multi-page PDFs in standard or custom sizes for sending via email.

Verify your Designs

A set of sophisticated surface analysis tools will help you maintain design integrity by providing critical information about your designs such as evaluating the smoothness of one or more surfaces, useful for identifying surface irregularities. Then choose from any of four curvature plot styles Gaussian, Mean, Min Radius and Max Radius.

NEW FEATURES

Improved Printing - New Options in Page Layout to Keep Dimensions Text Size, Keep Text Size and overlay the drawing in the Print Preview window. All enable better user control of how the printed document will look.

New Layer Sets - Layers may now be organised into sets, making it easy to visually turn on and off appropriate visual aspects of a model. The number of layer sets is virtually unlimited, layers can be assigned to as many sets as necessary, and sets can be recursively nested.

New Circular Fill - The enhanced fill tool automatically creates polygons when needed, so you can add solid fills to circle objects for added flexibility in design.

New and Improved Wall Options - TurboCAD Mac's new and improved self-healing walls automatically join, intersect, and update to speed design. New enhancements enables auto-dimensioning of walls as they are drawn, auto trimming of wall vertices, and allow for assignment of a hatch pattern and a colour to a wall.

New and Improved Door Tool - Save time adding doors to architectural designs. Simply insert one of the three 2D door styles into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall for the door. In addition, users can offset the door a prescribed distance from the end of the wall for more precise placement.

The door tool comes with 3 styles - Single, Single Standard and Double.

New and Improved Window Tool
Like the door tool, users can quickly insert one of the three 2D window styles into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall for the window. Plus, for more precise placement, windows can be offset a prescribed distance from the end of the wall on which they are placed.

The window tool includes 3 styles - Overlapping Sill, Standard Sill and Tight Sill.


New Block Manager - New palette which enables users to create, edit and manage Blocks. A block preview window is included. Both 2D and 3D Blocks are supported.

New Fair Curve Tool - Accurately smooth and tolerance spline curves with this exciting new tool.

New Freehand Spline Tool - Get added flexibility with the ability to create a vector spline by freehand drawing, as opposed to using user-defined points.

New Lip Solid Tool - The Lip Solid tool sweeps a profile about a collection of edges and either adds or subtracts the resultant sweep to or from the base solid. The given profile is automatically aligned perpendicular to the selected edge. In addition, a reference point is specified such that the profile is translated from the reference point to the start position along the edge selected. When the base solid is regenerated the profile is always translated from the reference position to that on the edge and then realigned.

New Rib Tool -The Rib tool extrudes and thickens a closed or open profile into a base solid. The profile is terminated up to the first face it reaches in the direction of the extrude.

New Invert Zoom for all mouse models - TurboCAD Mac v5 offers the new ability to define whether "Scroll In" or "Scroll Out" on the mouse wheel defines "Zoom In" or "Zoom Out". Formerly, "Scroll In" could only define the "Zoom In" action, but now users can go to the file preferences and invert the Zoom command on the mouse, making it much easier to navigate in and out of a desired area of the drawing.

TC Symbols now display filename - The filename of your TurboCAD Mac symbols now displays when the cursor is passed over a symbol. This makes it much easier to identify, locate, and insert symbols, especially when they look similar in the preview.

"TurboCAD Mac packs in a lot…..in fact, the more we looked at its 3D capabilities, the more we were reminded of formZ, which costs around five times more"
