TurboCAD Platinum

Creating computer-assisted drawings is no easy task. Aside from the skills, you need to understand proportions and the architecture of buildings, objects, etc. undoubtedly, you also have to master computers in terms of being capable to execute complex operations in a virtual environment. Here's where TurboCAD Platinum could come in handy, helping you create whatever you've got in your vision without that much hassle.

Being a suite of tools, this application will include all types of utilities. From measuring elements to vertex calculating widgets, this program includes all the needed tools to execute a precise scheme or design for any 2D and 3D model. There is an undeniable similarity to Photoshop products.

Tools are divided on each side of the window app. You've got your usual selection for controlling and adjusting view position on the left, some creational elements on the left, and a plethora of menus containing all of the other functions that might or might not come in handy.

In terms of compatibility with various file types and formats, you'll be pleased to know that this particular application deals with DWG, DXF, IFC, STL, and even PDF or HTML. The smoothness of 3D objects can be altered when dealing with STL files, meaning you can even print your creations in 3D with a higher grade of accuracy.

Unlike 2D models, 3D creations need a certain consistency added to them. This ultimately means that your model can have different mesh types added to its surfaces for the creation of a smooth overall look. A UV mapping/rendering feature is also available for this very same scenario. The end result means you can project a 2D image on a 3D object, sort of like texturing but not quite.

TurboCAD Platinum is, by all means, a professional program created for individuals that want to give birth to their ideas in a virtual environment. It's not difficult to use if you understand how each and every tool and function help your project, but to an uninitiated individual, it will all seem like a strange collection of complex instruments that don't make much sense.
