New Features:

Professional Architectural Design

Parametric Slabs
Increase architectural design capabilities with parametric slabs, particularly for multi-level structures. Ability to cut holes in the slabs is also supported.

Style Manager for Architectural Objects
Better control architectural designs with the ability to make quick changes to common architectural object types.

Terrain Tool
Create terrain objects from selected points.

Mode in Edit Dragger - Edit Segment
Improve editing of walls, slabs and bulge polylines (zero width polylines).

1st Pricing Costing Module for Doors and Windows
Instantly obtain online cost quotes for Doors, Windows, and Skylights used in your drawing.

Schedule Table
Now includes support for walls and slabs.

Optimized Data Management

Bill of Materials/Parts List
The most effective way to cost your design. Report on all object properties and block attributes, assign custom attributes, or adjust the query to produce custom reports. Then easily convert the report into a table as a new TurboCAD object.

Support of Table Object
In addition to converting a Bill of Materials report into a table, you can also use the new Insert Table Tool to create a table on the fly, or import a table from DWG/DXF files, as Table Objects are now AutoCAD compatible.

Fill Schedule Wizard
Create and fill the schedule table with drawing information faster and easier.

New Environmentally Friendly Content

Green Library
Access a library of over 50 Eco-friendly objects along with dozens of materials to help conserve our natural resources.

Materials
Over 300 New Materials have been added, many that are Eco-friendly.

Parametric Parts Creation and Management

Parametric Parts and Symbols
Ability to create fully parametric 2D and 3D content - some parts may be used in AutoCAD as well!

Part and Symbol Library Palette
New Palette allows for easy management of Parametric Parts and symbols.

Enhanced 2D Drafting & 3D Modeling

Improved Lofting
Lofting guidelines provide enhanced control of your lofted objects by adding 3D splines and polylines.

Woodworking Layout Tool
Create 2D layouts of 3D models to optimize the cutting and manufacturing of new components.

Dimensions
Get greater flexibility and enhanced 2D drafting ability with New Angular Dimension for Arcs and New Surveyor Linear Dimension.

Outstanding Compatibility

ASAT File Import/Export
Enjoy enhanced compatibility for 3D solid modeling. Store 3D objects and blocks/inserts in ASAT files.

Collada (DAE) File Export
Experience enhanced operability with virtual worlds and Google Earth with this powerful new export option.

OBJ File Import/Export
