TurboCAD’s complete set of drawing, editing, and modification tools, along with annotation tools, help you quickly draft and document your designs with outstanding flexibility. What-if analysis is made easy with constraints and is a tremendous time saver as you iterate designs. Users can also script and define parametrically driven objects. Use in conjunction with the Drafting Palette to accelerate all levels of the design and detailing process. Support for Surfaces has been added so now the drafting palette can be used for architectural drafting as well.

Speed design with the extensive collection of parametric object types and shapes for walls, doors, windows, stairs, slabs, and railings. New improvements make accurate placement of these architectural objects even easier. The improved Style Manager lets you create and manage how objects are defined, look and behave. It now offers support for creating multi-component walls that you can use with the wall tool. The Style Manager also includes additional, pre-configured styles. Plus, you can manage data more accurately with dynamic window and door schedules and use the new Sections/Elevation tool to examine custom cross sections of architectural designs.
