Architectural Design Features
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
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 colours, brush styles and lighting effects to create stunning visual presentations.
