New Part Tree
TurboCAD Mac Pro now offers a fully editable,
hierarchal part tree for Solids and Surfaces. The Part Tree can
be viewed as a selective UNDO/REDO tool: adjust the parameters
of a bend, for example, without having to UNDO the design steps
that have been made to the model since the parameter of that
object were originally set. Each subsequent step will be applied
correctly on the newly updated geometry.
Printing, Publishing & PDF
TurboCAD Mac Pro offers a variety of ways to
share your work. The new Print by Layer Tool is extremely useful
when you have multiple sets of data within one file that needs
printing. For less complex jobs, a new Print Window option
allows users to simply drag the mouse over the area of your
design you wish to print. Use page layouts to publish your
design from up to 4 different view angles on a single page,
controlling text size and more. Save designs as single or
multi-page PDFs for sending via email, or export to one of the
many desktop publishing formats for placement in brochures and
more.

Surface and Solid Modeling
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:
- New Cut Section tool
calculates the intersection of an infinite plane and a curve,
surface, or solid.
- New Curve Surface tool
calculates the intersection of a curve and surface or
solid.
- New Explode Curve tool
takes an edge of a surface or solid and converts it into a
independent but associative curve.
- 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 Surface
quickly and efficiently create a tube or pipe along a reference
curve.
- Revolve Surface
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
extends a surface to create a new surface attached to the end of the
original surface.
- Net Surface,
which is not the same as a mesh, but rather a nurb surface which
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.
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.
ACIS® Solid Modeling
Utilizing the newly updated ACIS® R22 solid modeling
engine, TurboCAD Mac Pro offers the ability to create realistic, complex
3D objects as well as data crucial for engineers. Choose from a variety
of 3D primitives (Boxes, Spheres, Cones, Torus, Prisms and Pyramids
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, Stretch,).
A partial list of the Solid Modeling tools:
- New 3D Push/Pull tool
quickly creates 3D objects from 2D lines or curves by simply
dragging to extrude an enclosed shape. This tool can also be used to
resize 3D objects by dragging a face.
- New Move Face tool will
translate one or more faces by a vector amount, while neighboring
faces are extended or re-limited to account for the new position.
- New Lofted Solid tool
creates a solid that is tangent between two neighboring solids. The
resulting solid automatically joins the two bodies involved into one
new body.
- New Lofting with Guides tool
which use polylines or curves to set the boundary of a loft.
- Bend Solid
bends a solid about an axis through a given radius.
- Trim Solid
tool trims a solid with a curve, surface, or solid. The trim tool is
usefulfor 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
create 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.
- New Project Curve to Plane tool
projects 3D curves into a 2D plane.

2D/3D
Architectural Design Tools
1,000 Floor Plans
Save time with one of these pre-designed floor plans you can
customize to make your own.Smart Walls
2D/3D self-healing walls automatically join, intersect, and
update 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. Details such as the frame and direction of the door opening are
displayed. In addition, users can offset the door or window a prescribed
distance from the end of the wall for rapid and precise placement. Plus, windows
and doors can now be drawn and displayed in 2D and 3D simultaneously simply by
entering a value for the wall height.New Roof Tool
TurboCAD Mac Pro can quickly create a roof that attaches to
the top of existing walls. The offset value determines how far the roof extends
from the wall. There are two types of roofs, hip and flat, available in the Data
Entry window, each with different properties.
- Hip Roof Type –
Specify the pitch and soffit size. The roof’s pitch is projected above the
wall; the greater the pitch, the further the roof projects. The soffit value
determines how far the roof extends from the wall.
- Flat Roof Type -
Specify the thickness. The roof’s thickness is projected above the wall; the
greater the thickness, the further the roof projects.
New Slab Tool
Create a foundation that attaches to the bottom of existing
walls. The slab’s thickness is projected below the wall; the greater the
thickness, the further the slab projects downward. Another property of slabs is
the offset, which determines how far the slab extends from the wall. You can
control the slab thickness and offset in the Data Entry window.

Assembly Tools
Assembly Connect
The Assembly Connect tool to connects one solid to another at a
specified connection point.
Assembly Mate
Mate planar faces. You can specify an offset distance between
mated faces.
Assembly Align
Align a face of two solid objects and supports cylindrical,
spherical and planar faces.
Assembly Insert
Align and mate 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. |
Photorealistic and Sketch Rendering
Photorealistic Rendering
TurboCAD Mac Pro helps you produce professional quality
renderings for optimal presentation. Choose from nearly 2000 new materials, over
3,700 new decals, or apply any *.BMP or *.JPG images to your 3D models for more
true-to-life renders. Add lighting, shadowing, reflectance, roughness and
environmental effects, then render with the powerful LightWorks Photorealistic
Rendering Engine.Sketch Rendering
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
- Stipple
