HighDesign

CAD software in general aims at providing a unified solution to several fields of application, be it planning, construction or even full-time architecture. However, each and every one of those fields (and many others) has its own specific requirements and procedures. Addressing those found in architecture and focusing on providing a CAD solution specialized in drafting in sketching is what HighDesign Pro R5 will offer its users.

The app features a highly adjustable layout, incorporating side-panels and loads of accessible tools. Depending on your style of editing, you can choose which panels to be active, the positions of the different tools, as well as the main display area characteristics.

Having a couple of the most commonly accessed features always available is a good thing, regardless of the kind of app you’re using. A handy, circular floating dock that appears on long mouse clicking offers access to project management, editing tools, settings and much more.

A multitude of modules ensures flexibility and efficiency, regardless if your task involves a simple sketch-up for some building plans or more complex, multi-layout task.

It was nice to see that the developer also added a dedicated photogrammetry module, which can help users work with 3D geometry for their objects and therefore attain a better perspective of the elements involved.

This program comes packed with a myriad of tools that were custom-fitted to aid in the creation, editing, and management of architectural sketches and models. Featuring a well-designed layout that improves handling and a consistent collection of editing functions, it can be a good companion to those who are involved in architectural design.
