Platinum Tools

The suite of architectural tools are AutoCAD Architecture compatible is greatly expanded with TurboCAD Pro Platinum including parametric doors, windows, slabs, roofs, stairs, and rails, plus compound walls, schedules, and powerful section and elevation tools. Advanced mechanical design and modification tools offer parametric control over parts, symbols, patterns, and constrained arrays, while new smooth surface mesh tools allow for easier, rapid creation of organically shaped 3D models. Plus, the Advanced Part Tree in TurboCAD Pro Platinum is much more powerful offering greater control over each design and modification tool.

What’s New

Now fully 64-bit compatible, TurboCAD Pro Platinum 19 takes advantage of expanded computer memory, so you can load, process, and render CAD files of nearly any size. In addition, improved design engines, including an updated ACIS solid modeling engine and improved LightWorks v8.3 and Redsdk v3 rendering engines, offer dramatically better performance. New smooth, surface mesh 3D modeling and editing tools allow for easier, rapid creation of organic shapes, while new features like ePack file packaging improve workflow. Plus, experience smoother interoperability and easier rendering and visualization to share your work.

Advanced Architectural Design

Speed design with the extensive collection of parametric object types and shapes for walls and compound walls, doors, windows, stairs, railings, roofs, and slabs. Use the style manager to create and manage how objects are defined, look and behave, or choose from the many pre-configured styles. Accurately manage data with dynamic window and door schedules and use the sections/elevation tool to examine custom cross sections of architectural designs.

Advanced Mechanical Design Tools

TurboCAD Pro Platinum offers advanced tools for 3D solid and surface modeling, including new smooth surface mesh 3D modeling tools. The thread tool, twisted extrude, extrude to face, imprint tool, parametric holes, imprint and more enable the easy creation of your more complicated professional designs.

Advanced Modification Tools

TurboCAD Pro Platinum includes a number of tools that enhance 3D modification for facet editing, lofting, bending and unbending of objects. These tools become even more powerful when combined with the Advanced Part Tree.

Advanced Part Tree

TurboCAD Pro Platinum greatly expands o n the Part Tree technology in TurboCAD Pro. Often referred to as history-based editing, the Part Tree can be used as a selective UNDO/REDO tool. And unlike with TurboCAD Pro basic, each of the design and modification tools, and most of the 3D primitives, may be driven by this Advanced Part Tree.

Pattern Tools

TurboCAD patterns are arrays of solid ACIS 3D objects copied in specific arrangements and controlled parametrically. Apply patterns to spheres and cylinders, radial patterns, 3D arrays, along a curve, and on polyline for shapes that couldn’t easily be drawn. Patterns are solid objects and they and/or their elements can be manipulated by 3D tools, like Bend; and patterns can be modified with Boolean operations with other 3D objects.

Platinum Constraints

TurboCAD Pro constraints are enhanced in the TurboCAD Pro Platinum with two additional constraints. The first is a Midpoint Constraint, and the second is the ability to create pattern constraints.

In order to run TurboCAD Pro Platinum 19, your system must include the following:

Minimum TurboCAD Pro 32-bit System Requirements:

• Pentium IV Processor
• Microsoft Windows XP with 512 MB RAM, or Windows Vista or Windows 7 with 1024 MB RAM
• 300 MB of free hard disk space
• Super VGA (1024 x768) display
• High Colour (16 bit) graphics support

Minimum TurboCAD Pro 64-bit System Requirements:

• Pentium IV Processor
• Microsoft Windows Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 64 bit with 2 GB RAM
• 1 GB of free hard disk space
• Super VGA (1024 x768) display
• High Colour (16 bit) graphics

Recommended: Your experience with TurboCAD Pro will be greatly enhanced with a newer generation, higher speed CPU, 4 GB RAM, and larger display resolution and graphics support.

The optional GPU-accelerated Redsdk render modes require a supported graphic processing unit (either a chip on the board, or on a video card) and the turning off of aero mode. The latest video drivers are typically required. Newer boards with more power and VRAM generally provide greater performance.

Recommended GPU-accelerators:

• NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000 & up*
• NVIDIA GeForce FX & up*
• NVIDIA GeForce 6, 7, 8 & up*
• AMD-ATI Radeon 9500 & up*
• AMD-ATI Radeon X, HD 2000, 3000, 4000
• AMD-ATI FireGL X
• AMD-ATI FireGL V 3000 & up*
• INTEL Integrated graphics series: GMA 3000 & GMA X3000.
