2D Design and Editing

The software is rich in professional 2D/3D design tools and drawing aids that speed design. Create views and viewports of any size and shape. Access extensive paper space and printing options. Multi-select drawing tool, dimension tools, and more.

3D Surface Modeling

TurboCAD Deluxe 2018 for Windows includes a complete set of 3D surface modeling and editing tools making it ideal for both single part and small assembly mechanical designs.

Architectural & GIS

The software includes an integrated suite of architectural tools that accelerate productivity in design and drafting, or in the documentation of existing compatible architectural models. The architectural objects are AutoCAD Architecture (ACA) compatible so that .DWG models with ACA extensions may be read, modified, and documented as needed.

Photorealistic Rendering & Visualization

TurboCAD Deluxe 2018 for Windows Expert includes the Redway3d Redsdk 4.2 drawing and rendering engine to speed design work and create stunning presentations. Render management of materials, luminances, environments, advanced render styles and more help users create truly photorealistic presentations of their design.

Interoperability / File Support

TurboCAD Deluxe 2018 for Windows makes it easy to maintain your intellectual property investment and share your work. TurboCAD 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 2017 including AutoCAD Architecture extensions), .SKP (SketchUp, to version 2015), .3DM (Rhinoceros), .3DS (Autodesk 3ds Max), IGES, STEP, .OBJ, COLLADA (.DAE – export); and many more.

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.
