Doing more with TurboCAD Plug-Ins

By Dave Taylor, Associate Produduct Manager



One of the best parts of my job is working with the TurboCAD community and trying out the cool plug-ins that have been developed using the TurboCAD Software Development Kit. Below are just a few that IMSI/Design resells from TurboCAD.com are new or newly updated for TurboCAD 16.  If you have a plug-in or CAD add-on, please email me at dtaylor@imsidesign.com

Created by Jerry Simington, this plug-in builds on the 3D surface modeling technology in TurboCAD Deluxe and Pro with terrain modeling and GIS capabilities, perfect for residential and commercial site design and development, land development, subdivision design, or road design.  Learn more
