Want to import a 3D model you created in other software, so you can document it in TurboCAD Mac Designer 2D? You can do that with our Auto 3D to 2D feature that will create multiple 2D views.
Other great features to help you document and annotate your projects include:
26-dimension styles
Import bitmaps for logos and reference images
Spell check is provided for another level of accuracy
Single click Fills and Hatch
ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING FEATURES
You can create scaled building drawings and room layouts with TurboCAD Mac Designer 2D.
For example, custom walls are drawn using thickness for different components, allowing you to present the real-world wall sizes and dimensions of the materials that make up the walls.
Other great architectural design features include:
Walls are automatically trimmed at intersections
Custom wall components allow you differentiate interior and exterior walls visually
Insert intelligent doors and windows with “drag and drop” placement
Instant architectural detailing with automatic dimensioning or customize your own labels for doors and windows with callouts
