Powerful Parametric Constraints
Often referred to as variational sketching, the D-Cubed™ 2D
DCM constraint manager from Siemens Industry Software
Limited gives you greater control and productivity. By
setting up constraints, you get more done, create part
families faster, incorporate red-line changes more quickly,
and have the flexibility to evaluate different designs with
ease. Access a host of geometric and dimensional constraints
in TurboCAD Pro, as well as mid-point and pattern
constraints with TurboCAD Pro Platinum.
Annotation
TurboCAD Pro includes tools necessary to rapidly annotate
your designs. The Drafting Palette accelerates creating
Views, Sections, Elevations, Floorplans, and Detail Views in
numerous display styles. A full range of Dimension types
that are style driven are available as well as Tables, Text,
and Multi-Text tools as expected. Plus, dimension scaling in
Viewports within a paper space is automatic.
Symbols Library
TurboCAD Pro comes complete with a number of sample symbols
as well as a much larger collection of parametric parts.
This program also includes several special parametric
symbols used in certain types of annotation that help in
communicating with manufacturers.
Parametric Parts Manager
Create and consume parts that remain parametrically
controlled even after insertion into your drawing. There is
also a method to draw variably constrained parts and convert
them to parametric parts using a wizard. Because the parts
can be saved individually, like a symbol, libraries of .PPM
objects can be created, shared, and reused from project to
project.
Easy Design Director
The Design Director palette streamlines work and enhances
productivity with advanced controls for Layers, Layer
Filters, creating Layer Sets, setting and saving Work
Planes, controlling Named Views, and more.
Rendering & Visualization
TurboCAD Pro includes the Redway3d Redsdk drawing and
rendering engine to speed design work and create stunning
presentations. This drawing engine utilizes the power of
supported on-board GPU or graphics boards for faster
panning, zooming, and orbiting. It also provides
photorealistic and artistic rendering capabilities for
presenting your designs.
Lighting & Materials
A material editor, along with a complete library of
materials, is included with TurboCAD Pro to define
physically accurate materials, including reflective surfaces
with ray tracing and radiosity. There is also support for
lighting and luminance. Redsdk
will substitute the materials and lighting of images
previously rendered with Lightworks.
External References (Xrefs)
All of the file formats that may be opened and imported,
except bitmap images, may be used as an external reference (Xref).
TurboCAD offers Xref clipping for dozens of file formats and
binding of Xrefs, which can then be exploded and edited.
Xref layers are also easy to manage, including with layer
filters.
Software Developers' Kit (SDK)
TurboCAD Pro lets you extend the functionality of the
application with the ability to develop new tools,
functions, and behaviors. Custom routines that are performed
on a regular basis can be automated. Specific tools for
vertical applications can be created and added. Even
commercial plug-in applications may be developed and sold.
Updated documentation and samples are provided and there is
a wiki and forum-based support online.
File Interoperability
TurboCAD makes it easy to maintain your intellectual
property investment and share your work. TurboCAD Pro
supports export of 3D models to 3D .PDF which can be viewed
interactively with Acrobat Reader. Plus, users can open,
insert, or embed up to 35 file formats and export up to 28,
including .DWG, .DXF (from R14 through 2015 including
AutoCAD® Architecture extensions), .SKP (SketchUp™, to
version 2015), .3DM (Rhinoceros®), .3DS (Autodesk® 3ds
Max®), IGES, STEP, .OBJ, COLLADA (.DAE – export); and many
more.

Advanced Architectural Design & Simple BIM
TurboCAD Pro Platinum speeds design
with an extensive collection of parametric object types and shapes for walls and
compound walls, doors, windows, stairs, railings, roofs, and slabs. Use the
style manager to create and manage how objects are defined, look and behave, or
choose from the many pre-configured styles. Accurately manage data with dynamic
window and door schedules and use the sections/elevation tool to examine custom
cross sections of architectural designs.
TurboCAD
Pro Platinum also lets you create custom properties to objects, property sets,
and entry marks to display the data next to specific objects in a drawing. New
version 21 now allows users to extract that custom data as well as geometry from
walls, doors, windows, slabs, and roofs, and export to IFC format, the industry
standard for BIM information.
Advanced Mechanical Design Tools
TurboCAD Pro Platinum offers
advanced tools for 3D solid and surface modeling. The thread tool, twisted
extrude, extrude to face, imprint tool, parametric holes, imprint and more
enable the easy creation of your more complicated professional designs. A new
ACIS® R24 3D solid modeling engine in TurboCAD Pro Platinum 21 offers better
modeling, improvements to ACIS file filters, and enhancements to several
features based on this engine.
Advanced Modification Tools
TurboCAD Pro Platinum includes a number of tools that enhance 3D modification
for facet editing, lofting, bending and unbending of objects. These tools become
even more powerful when combined with the Advanced Part Tree.
Advanced Part Tree
TurboCAD Pro Platinum greatly
expands o n the Part Tree technology in TurboCAD Pro. Often referred to as
history-based editing, the Part Tree can be used as a selective UNDO/REDO tool.
And unlike with TurboCAD Pro basic, each of the design and modification tools,
and most of the 3D primitives, may be driven by this Advanced Part Tree.
Optimized for 3D Printing
TurboCAD
Pro Platinum both reads and writes STL files, the standard in 3D Printing world.
The Platinum version includes tools that allow for the modification of the
faceting of the STL model which gives the user control over the smoothness of
the printed 3D model. Other 3D printing features include surface simplification
controls and a 3D Print button for 3D Systems printers.
Smooth Surface Mesh 3D Modeling Tools
TurboCAD Pro Platinum allows you to
use existing 3D modeling tools to create a smooth surface mesh (smesh). Users
can control the resolution, smoothness and more. This form of 3D object creation
allows for easier and more rapid creation of organic shapes. Read
more about Smesh Tools
Associative Arrays / Pattern Tools
TurboCAD Pro Platinum patterns are
arrays objects copied in specific arrangements and controlled parametrically.
Create patterns from a variety of entities and apply to spheres and cylinders,
radial patterns, 3D arrays, along a curve, and on polyline for shapes that
couldn’t easily be drawn.
Platinum Parametric Constraints
TurboCAD Pro constraints are
enhanced in the TurboCAD Pro Platinum with two additional constraints. The first
is a Midpoint Constraint, and the second is the ability to create pattern
constraints.
UV Mapping
Create more realistic and varied materials for rendering. Use UV mapping to
project a 2D image onto a 3D object where “U” and “V” are the names of the axes
of plane. It’s a powerful tool perfect for use in photorealistic rendering.
