TurboCad

I really enjoyed working with TurboCad

Kommentare: I teach students CAD

Vorteile:

The process of getting started was a positive experience. It accommodates various file formats in both 2D and 3D, with useful functions such as import and export. The user interface is easy to use and provides guidance on how to upload files. This platform is ideal for designing in 2D and 3D using the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Nachteile:

The product is of good quality, however, it would be beneficial if there was a free version available that closely resembles the paid version for one-time use.

Floorplan 2024, fast, easy, results

Kommentare: I’m new to working with floor plan design software but have experience with 3DSMax and Cinema 4D. I found Floorplan 2024 to be much easier to use for home design and layout than other tools. I started with just some basic measurements of the home we’re moving into and managed to build a complete floor plan in just a few hours. There are some key areas to read in the manual that will help, but for the most part it’s relatively easy to watch there tutorial videos and get up and running quickly. The more I used FloorPlan 2024 the more I realized the design decisions of the software and why their approach is very efficient with enough flexibility to provide stunning 3D homes.

Vorteile:

Fastest way to produce a floorplan and place furniture and electrical outlets to visual how a home will look. It has ALL the features needed to produce a floor plan for a construction company to use and implement. Much of the grunt work is handled automatically with wall widths, ceiling heights, electrical drops, framing, roofing, windows, and doors. They provide a wealth of content packs that come with ready to use furniture and materials. Also provide a Custom Workshop tool where you can adjust any of the existing furniture/objects and come up with your own specific furniture which can be added to user libraries. Lighting works very well with the LuxCore render engine and you can use emissive lighting or actual lighting. All is PBR based so light reflects as it should on object surfaces. Support was excellent from both forums administrator and support team at TurboCad.

Nachteile:

Very important to read the manuals and go thru training tutorials to fully understand how to produce some amazing final renders of homes. Rendering time can be slow, even on fast CPUs. Download servers are very slow.

A nightmare to use, least user friendly CAD I have used in more than 30 years

Kommentare: I suffer everytime I use it, if you are familiar with other CAD systems, don't waste a cent on Turbocad

Vorteile:

I live in Argentina and was the only low priced legal 2D CAD I could purchase with credit card, NanoCad (previous suscription) is only available with Paypal that I am not allowed to use.

Nachteile:

User interface, the fact that you don't go to selection mode automatically when you end a command is the most annoying

TurboCAD Special Thanks

Kommentare: Our company has been designing and building custom homes now for 22 years. We consider TurboCAD the go to program that allows us to design all the important aspects and features our clients need in their custom homes. Very easy to make adjustments and its user friendly tool interface is easy to operate. We have recently upgraded to the 2024 Platinum addition of TurboCAD, thanks to Syed(CEO), we will be using it for years to come.

Vorteile:

- Easy to use interface, converting to DWG and Back to TCW - Choose your workspace style - win2000, winXP, CAD Course, AutoCAD, etc. - Easily convert 2d to 3d - Always up to date with Windows updates - Technical support (online) - Affordability - Easily import PDF files

Nachteile:

- Wish technical support was more one on one over the phone - Automated phone support

TurboCAD Pro for ultimate comfort of Design

Kommentare: Generally the 2D and 3D software of TurboCad is quiet an advanced system and would recommend it over the more expensive types since it is a full house and attracts the more novice designer. I use the software to implement architecture and furniture design mostly and since I have started using the software have more than adequate response to the agility of TurboCad Pro for the value that it is priced at, similar if not more aesthetically pleasing than AutoCad for me anyway and all the tools are easy to find and manipulate which I then rate TurboCad Pro 7 out of 10

Vorteile:

Intuitive and easy to use, much more slim design features than AutoCAD, I use the software with ease but it can take some time mastering all the features, I enjoy working with Turbocad Pro because of its slick ease of use with drawing tools, great for architecture, product design, furniture design, and even engineering, mechanical design . The script in 2D drawings is easy to understand and the 3D features render seemlessly even with 4Gig RAM, love this software

Nachteile:

The software is a bit sluggish when it comes to 3D. The add -ons can be a thing to master but practice makes perfect with frequently saved drawings you can go back and edit layers easily, but not so easy when you haven't already saved for a while. The help centre is abit on the negative side because it can give vague explanations that more experienced users will comprehend but for the novice it can be challenging to understand.

The ideal software for your 2D and 3D drawings.

Kommentare: TurboCAD offers multiple editions with versions tailored for beginners and more advanced professionals. Each edition provides different functionalities.

Vorteile:

The feature I like is the 2D drawing functionality, which includes a variety of tools such as creating and modifying lines, arcs, circles, and 2D entities. It also supports dimensioning, constraints, and annotation tools.

Nachteile:

What I like the least and have difficulty managing are the parametric and dimensional constraints, which I find somewhat difficult to master, despite the software being user-friendly.

The ultimate modeling software

Vorteile:

TurboCAD is a powerful CAD drawing software for professionals and technicians in the industry. It works perfectly on Windows, Mac OS; integrates 2D and 3D drawing tools compatible with AutoCAD. Several files are supported such as JPG, TIFF.

Nachteile:

The multiplicity of available versions can be confusing. Indeed, several versions of TurboCAD are available on both Windows and Mac OS. Access to the advanced features of TurboCAD must also be done on the TurboCAD PRO or TurboCAD Deluxe version.

the services offered are very good and focus on helping the client in all possible ways

Vorteile:

I think the way to treat customers and how to help them is great, the services offered by TurboCad Professional are so wide and varied that they cover everything, any customer will be satisfied when working with TurboCAD Professional and I do not doubt it, the services offered are very good and focus on helping the client in all possible ways, it is worth choosing TurboCAD Professional and I do not regret having done it, nothing like working with a company that cares about the concerns and well-being of the client as TurboCAD Professional does ...

Nachteile:

Honestly leaves you very pleased and I leave without any complaint or criticism. I only have good comments about it since I'm leaving with a great image of this company, I will really go back to work with it, 100% worth it. Do not doubt this and above all do not think about it, it is one of the best in its scope. I leave with a smile on my face, since the services of TurboCAD Professional left me satisfied and even beyond that, it seems to me that it is a company that knows what its customers want and it proves it !! VERY RECOMMENDED!

From School to career

Kommentare: Having started using the program while at school, i had thought it was just a part of my past, but I have recently used it once again and found enjoyment for the program once more during a recent project that needed much more detailed and accurate work than what my usual animation program offers.

Vorteile:

The software is easy to use and with a bit of knowledge and is much more accessible than most other CAD programs. Accurate and precise measurements and plenty of tools to help you do exactly what you need to do.

Nachteile:

Takes a little getting used to, shortcuts mostly need muscle memory to really keep pace on projects.

TurboCad

Kommentare: Very good. A keeper for me and my personal projects.

Vorteile:

Ability to have real scale drawing and not just papers. Ability to work on drawing over the years....

Nachteile:

Certain functionalities are hard to use and not self intuitive. A lot of initial knowledge is neceesary.

An Excellent 2D&3D CAD Software!

Vorteile:

Users can customize the interface and tools to suit their specific needs and preferences, making it a flexible CAD solution. Not only that, the fact that it's available for both Mac and Windows operating systems made it super amazing by providing that flexibility!

Nachteile:

Honestly, TurboCad is not so easy to use. Mastering all of its features and tools can take time and effort.

TurboCAD is broken

Kommentare: I bought the latest version of TurbCAD in 2012 as an alternative to the very pricey AutoCAD and Solid Works programs. It took me a few years to learn the program proficiently and I upgraded every year through 2015 until they began a subscription based program which turned me off upgrading until I bought a new work station and I found TC2015 wouldn't run correctly on it. Then after upgrading to the latest version in hopes of fixing the problem I find that the software no longer works. I am very pissed. I make my living designing tooling and I am in the middle of many projects now and it is taking me exponentially longer because the software is literally broken. No body has a solution and there is no support at IMSI.

Vorteile:

Before I bought a specially design for CAD computer (MSI 32 gig ram SSD) I ran TurboCAD 2015 on a Toshiba Quad laptop and it ran fine other than being very slow. Once installed on a 2019 version MSI designed specifically for CAD I lost all the most important functions I relied upon like Conceptual Selector, editing nodes, fence mode plus it stopped rendering. I upgraded to TC2019 and I am still missing all those tools plus a lot more. They broke the software and they don't have a clue or the inclination to fix it.

Nachteile:

Very, very, extremely slow especially to render. Earlier versions such as Pro 20 did not have these problems

TurboCAD: Powerful 3D manipulation tool.

Kommentare: Overall I would say that TurboCAD is a very powerful tool that will allow users to create and manipulate 3D objects. It has a pretty good Photorealistic render and a whole lot of features and tools. This is a software you will need to learn to use at first.

Vorteile:

TurboCAD is a very powerful 3D tool. Its physics engine and the realistic ways materials and especially metals can be manipulated is rather impressive. I use TurboCAD for modelling more technical assets for 3D games as TurboCAD can register all the folds and twists in models. The software has photorealistic rendering which supports many materials. This isn't as realistic as some other software but it gives me a good understanding of how light will warp and react to my models.

Nachteile:

TurboCAD is a very technical software and as such is can be overwhelming to first time users. But this can change as you learn. The UI isn't the most user-friendly. Renders can take a bit of time to render depending on how complex the geometry is.

Excellent Affordable CAD Software

Kommentare: I have used TurboCAD to design architectural plans and even design a custom electric guitar body, as well as a few graphic design elements I've used for decoration.

Vorteile:

This software is relatively intuitive--even for someone who has never used any type of CAD software before. However, because of the many different features of this software, it can take quite a while to master all of the things you might want to do with this application. Also, this is a very powerful software application and the 3D tools available put it on near par with much more expensive professional-grade CAD systems.

Nachteile:

There are several add-ins for this software (such as those that can create virtual walk-throughs of your designs), which I found a bit finicky. Also, some of the available help is not quite detailed enough to learn new features as easily as I would like. Also, some of the 3D tools don't quite work as I would want them to work, and sometimes saving a project prevents you from modifying some of the objects you've made. However, if you save copiese frequently, and get familiar with the order of events you need to use, you can master this software.

Full featured affordable 2D/3D CAD software

Kommentare: Been using this software in various versions for 10+ years for architectural drawings. First CAD software I ever used when transferred from a drawing board and pens. Very happy with TurboCAD and have never considered changing to anything else.

Vorteile:

Extremely affordable 2D/3D CAD software when compared to alternatives. One time payment for licence. Full featured software to suit pros but also easy learning curve for beginners. Supports a wide range of import/export file formats so very flexible. Well supported by knowledge-base and video tutorials as well as active user forums.

Nachteile:

User interface appearance is probably a bit dated but apart from that not a lot.

The services offered by TurboCAD software is really beneficial in one way or the other.

Vorteile:

TurboCAD software is being used by wide range of people for designing 2D and 3D models. Another worth mentioning feature of this software is its ability to publish in PDF format. This is full CAD software product.

Nachteile:

When we start using TurboCAD professional software, its layout seems to be difficult before learning. Sometimes the programs get clear due to so many different icons creating difficulty in learning. Sometimes booting issues also occurs and the system gets slow with less processing speed.

DON'T BUY

Kommentare: WON'T RUN NEW MAC OS 11 SERIES OPERATING SYSTEMS. ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO UPGRADES AVAILABLE.

Vorteile:

Absolutely nothing. I do not recommend this software. It is not kept up to date on Mac systems.

Nachteile:

TURBOCAD IS NOT UPDATED FOR THE LATEST MAC OS SYSTEMS. THIS SHOULD BE OFFERED FOR FREE, AND IS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE. ALL OF YOUR WORK WILL BE LOST. DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL.

Great CAD at low price

Kommentare: I use Turbocad since the V4 version, now have the 2018 PRO, it's a GREAT software, grat file compatibility, no troubles ... never.
Good, good job.

Vorteile:

File Compatibility Great stability Easy to use

Nachteile:

Print interface No italian support Slow to start

User for 10 year

Kommentare: Great program for design 3D and 2D models, top program for value! We use also Solidworks and this program is more easy to use when we build prototypes.

Vorteile:

All is possible to do

Nachteile:

Difficult to use before you learn how to do this

Customer Service is impossible to get in touch with

Kommentare: Frustrated with customer service

Vorteile:

I love the software easy to use if you have some experience,

Nachteile:

Can not get in touch with tech support or customer service when you really need them

Easy to use

Kommentare: Quick easy to use CAD software but limited soldid modelling fuctionality - but I last used this several years ago, so it may have come along in the last few years.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, 2d software with 3d added on. the 2d sketching is sepertate from the parts, but this means you can compile a huge amount of construction lines in preperation for your 3d part.

Nachteile:

Not really native 3d solid modeller. When I last used it surfacing support was limited, this could have changed in the last few years.

Turbo Cad 2D/3D

Kommentare: I really enjoy the program. It’s a great platform to use with 3D printers as well.

Vorteile:

This a a great software platform that provides you with all the tools you need to get to designing you next cool idea.

Nachteile:

It took a lot of time to learn how to use and I wish they had some beginners tutorials.

We have been using TurboCAD at our company since 2016.

Kommentare: Mainly, the ability to create quick drawings of small engineered projects for customers and vendors.

Vorteile:

A lot of things we like about this program - The tutorials are very helpful. The green design eco friendly details are helpful in our state. The ability to publish in PDF format has also proven valuable.

Nachteile:

The only suggestion we have is that the program come with more in depth paper print directions. (some employees prefer hard copy to doing the tutorials.)

Turbocad at prototype designing

Kommentare: We use Turbocad for over a decade in combination with TurbocadCAM and Turbocad Animationlab. To make presentations of productconcepts, Mechanically develop prototypes and feed our CNC machines to produce prototypes. Turbocad provides perfectly in our needs. We also worked with Solidworks and Autocad for a trial period but this did not work out for us as these programms were too limited for us. Too meet our needs with these programms we need to buy very expensive plugins that Turbocad either already has integrated, or delivers at a very reasonable price. We are now certain to stay with Turbocad for the near future as its versatile capabillities fills our needs perfectly.

TurboCAD is good for the hobbyist too.

Kommentare: I'm a hobby woodworker. I need to design my projects before I begin to build them. TurboCAD has been a great asset for me. I used the tutorials to get me started. In a fairly short time I was able to do the basics and begin my own drawings.

Vorteile:

Ease of use. It is full CAD software and the price is extremely competitive

Nachteile:

I'm a novice and so some of the instructions that might be intuitive to a seasoned designer took me some time to figure out
