DesignCAD 3D Max v21

This easy-to-use, versatile 3D CAD tool is perfect for those who want to enter the World of 3D design. Ideal for novice designers, yet powerful enough to create high-quality 2D/3D designs, rendered 3D models and animations.

New! 600 Brand New 3D Models.
Colourful, fully texture-mapped, 3D symbol models you can easily edit and/or quickly drag and drop into your design. Model categories include, Kitchen, Bath, Lighting, Structural, Appliances, Home Décor and Structural items.

New! AutoCAD 2011 Support.
Work with the latest AutoCAD® files. Import/Export support for AutoCAD 2010 and 2011 .DWG and .DXF file formats have been added so users can collaborate with people using even the latest Autodesk® software versions. This includes compatibility with AutoCAD® layouts, and PaperSpace, plus support for AutoCAD layers, linestyles, views and blocks

Improved! Layers.
DesignCAD 21 now offers support for long layer names, up to 256 characters.

Improved! Paperspace.
DesignCAD 21 is now able to use the same paperspace template more than once in a drawing

Improved! Dimensions.
Dimension tools now have an “outside” text placement option similar to that in other CAD programs.

Improved! Usability Enhancements.
Enhancements to the management of default settings and custom workspaces to improve ease of use.

Precision 3D Modelling.
Access to a full range of powerful 3D modelling primitives, including box, sphere, hemisphere, pyramids, cylinders, cone and torus. Utilise Boolean operations, including solid add, solid abstract, and slice, to shape your 3D parts. Add materials to you model to create presentation ready designs

• 3D View Settings
• 3D Primitives
• 3D (Solid) Editing Operations
• 3D Visualisation.

Realistic Visualization and Lighting
Render your 3D models with applied materials, or texture maps, or use transparency and fogging for added impact

• Shadow Tool – smooth the edges of rendered shadows.
• Procedural Textures – add marble, wood, cement, grain, patch, perlin, noise, brick, cells or wood extended textures to your designs.
• Image Fills – Use an image as a fill pattern.

Symbols and 3D Images
Choose from more than 10,000 2D/3D symbols to quickly drag and drop into your design.

Animation & Walkthroughs
Create stunning animated presentations with a moving view of your 3D model.

Drawing Compare
Select two DesignCAD drawings or .BMP images, and Drawing Compare will perform a visual comparison for the two

Drawing Compare (Continued).

There are two options to switch from one to the other, to show only the differences, or to have the differences blink, quickly highlighting where changes have been made. Zoom In or select Zoom to Differences to quickly spot any updates.

The drawing comparison is an invaluable aid when working collaboratively on a project, or when picking up an older project and looking to see the status of updates. Use it to compare a design and an As Built drawing to see where changes have been implemented.

...and much more!
