TurboCAD Pro 14 Platinum Edition Includes TurboCAD Pro 14 CAD Software plus Both TurboCAD Mechanical & Architectural Tool Sets | TurboCAD® Pro 14 Platinum Edition is our most advanced CAD solution with the unparalleled design power and productivity of TurboCAD Pro, plus advanced tools for mechanical and architectural design. Integrated 2D drafting, 3D surface and ACIS® solid modeling, and LightWorks® photorealistic rendering offer dramatic visual results while geometric and dimensional constraint management tools, and superior file format compatibility, offer added power and precision.
Complex designs can be created in a few simple clicks with new mechanical design tools including the New Flange Tool as well as tools for Tube Bending and Tube Extending. Our Parametric Hole Tool makes inserting holes into objects simple and now includes a new Boss Hole Type. Utilize the Improved Bend Tool to create models previously not possible and enhance the constraint power of TurboCAD Pro with 2D Pattern and Linear Pattern Constraints.
Speed architectural design with the extensive collection of architectural parametric object types and shapes for doors, windows, stairs, and railings. Use the edit profile tool to customize any existing parametric door or window shape. Plus, the New Style Manager Palette lets you define styles and parameters for architectural object types, schedules, text and AEC dimension, including how objects are defined, look and behave.
Feature Highlights
NEW! Smart Dimension Tool
Faster, more efficient annotation of your drawing, automatically recognizing and creating the correct dimension type for:
Linear dimensions for parallel lines
Linear dimensions for orthogonal lines
Angular dimensions for any angle
Radial Dimensions for arcs
Diameter Dimensions for circles
Even add dimensions to 3D objects in Rendered or Hidden Line modes.
NEW! Geometric Alignment Aids
These aids offer improved snap indicators and superior auxiliary line presentation. Plus, we’ve improved many of our snaps including
• Improved Tangent Snaps
• Improved Projection Snaps
• Improved Parallel Line Snaps
• Improved Perpendicular Line Snaps
• Improved Tangent from Arc Snaps
NEW! Delayed Paperspace Render
Don’t be slowed down waiting for a render to happen. With TurboCAD Pro 14, you control when and how your Viewports in Paperspace will render.
NEW! Chamfer Angle Option
Specify the exact angle to be used in the Chamfer Command.
NEW! Foreground Hidden Line
Open up a world of presentation possibilities by overlaying hidden line renders on top of draft and quality rendered images.
NEW! Dimension & 3D Layers
Created by default and can be turned off/on easily to hide the information.
NEW! Extended Node Editing for Cubes, Cylinders and Cones

Advanced Mechanical Design Features
NEW! Branch Lofting
New Branched Loft Tool, for one “trunk” and two or more “branches,” manages both simple and compound profiles, minimizing what once took several operations
IMPROVED Part Tree
Now you can suppress any operation and delay update for quick "what if" scenerios. You can even hide portions of the Part Tree for re-rendering
NEW! ACIS® 16 Modeling Engine
Upgraded from ACIS v15, you’ll find many more improvements like improved healing when importing models and more.
D-Cubed 2D Geometric Constraint Manager
Create and manage design dependencies with ease
NEW! Constraint Tool Option-Angular Dimension for Arcs
Change the value of the angular dimension and watch it automatically update.
Facet Editing of ACIS 3D Objects and Surfaces
Apply materials to individual facets of same the object
NEW! Face-to-Face Lofting
Select two faces on different 3D objects and instantly build a lofting body to unite them.
More Mechanical Power and Performance
• Historical, Editable Part Tree for Parametric Modeling
• Complex Extrusions, Sweeps and Imprints
• Complete 2D/3D Boolean Operations - Create complete 3D objects easily with one-step 3D shape tools, or extrude, revolve, and more. Even the most complex designs are easy. Simply transform primitive objects into sophisticated 3D models with Boolean operations like add, intersect, subtract, and slice.
• 3D Shelling - 3D Shelling of your ACIS based 3D models - even letting you create "shells" to the inside or outside of the object Lofting - create multiple profiles which define complex 3D objects using NURBS
• Blending
• NURBS and Deformable Modeling Support
• Surface-to-Solid and Solid-to-Surface Conversion
Advanced Architectural Design Features
NEW! Wall Dimension Tool
Quickly assign dimensions to any straight wall, including dimension thickness. Place dimensions in parallel or at an angle from wall
NEW! Window and Door Schedules
Adding a window or door into your drawing dynamically updates the schedule and you have complete control over how text will appear.
New Parametric Stairs
Straight stairs can now be created in just 3 clicks and are fully parametric. Specify material, stair dimensions and more. (Choose from additional parametric stair object styles including multi-landing, spiral, and u-shaped when you add the Architectural Tools for TurboCAD Pro 14.)
Intelligent Parametric Walls
Self-Healing 2D & 3D Walls - Walls automatically join and intersect, and update automatically
Single-Click Wall Dimensions - One-step incremental and overall dimensions
Wall Openings for Doors/Windows - “Slide” doors, windows, arches or any shape to create “openings” in walls with linked 2D and 3D views for correct representation in any view.
Parametric Doors & Windows
Create parameter driven doors and windows in TurboCAD. Design multiple combinations by choosing the architectural style, material, and specific properties of each object including frame, hinges and knobs.
Then simply drag and drop them as objects into the self healing walls of your 3D drawing.
TurboCAD will even automatically generate the appropriate symbol for the 2D version of the drawing.
TurboCAD Pro offers 2 types of parametric doors and windows. For additional types and shapes and more architectural functionality, consider TurboCAD Pro 14 Architectural Edition
