Key Features

ACISยฎ-Based Solid Modeling

TurboCADยฎย Platinum harnesses the robust ACISยฎย solid modeling engine to breathe life into your designs. Create realistic models where each object possesses genuine volume and shape, built upon a structured framework, wrapped in a precision skin of surfaces, and defined by an inner core.

Geometric & Dimensional Constraints

Utilize Smart Dimension toolsโ€”including parallel, orthogonal, rotated, and Auto Dimension optionsโ€”to display accurate line and angle measurements in both Imperial and metric units.

Part Tree/History Tree

Track and refine modifications on individual objects, groups, and blocks with the Part Tree/History Tree. This intuitive tool records every change, enabling you to review and adjust your design evolution with ease.

Intelligent (Parametric) Architectural Objects

Configure smart architectural objects by selecting them and easily modifying their parameters. This intuitive approach allows you to update dimensions and specifications on the fly, ensuring that your design stays flexible and precise.

Advanced Mechanical Design Tools

TurboCADยฎย Platinum delivers a complete 3D design suite that unites precise drawing, surface modeling, and advanced ACISยฎย solid modeling. Its Mechanical Toolset equips you with essential featuresโ€”such as Thread, Twisted Extrude, Extrude to Face, and Parametric Holesโ€”as well as powerful modification tools like Bend, Unbend, law-based operations, and Smooth Surface Mesh/Sub-D modeling for full control over engineered and organic forms.

Programmable SDK & Ruby Scripting

TurboCADยฎย Platinum extends its capabilities with Ruby scripting and an SDK. Rubyโ€”compatible with SketchUp Ruby Scriptsโ€”lets you create plug-ins to add tools, automate multi-step operations, and enhance both mechanical and architectural designs through the Ruby Scripting Console. The SDK further supports the development of new functions and specialized tools, backed by documentation, samples, and .NET support for commercial or custom applications.

New & Improved Features

Smartly Organized Workspaces & New Start Page

TurboCADยฎย introduces Command Finder, an intelligent feature that quickly locates and executes commands. Type partial namesโ€”for example, “Li” for “Line”โ€”to immediately access tools, while essential functions like Undo, Redo, and Save remain available. With direct command execution from the search results, you save time by avoiding the hassle of navigating through menus and toolbars.

Copilot Professional: Detailed Scene Analysis & Intelligent Part Generation

Exclusively available with the TurboCADยฎย Copilot Professional plug-in, these new features add significant capabilities to your workflow. Rendering Scene Analysis delivers detailed inventories of objects, materials, and lighting, while visual updatesโ€”such as color markers, texture links, dark themes, and raw HTML previewsโ€”provide essential information at a glance. An experimental AI-powered Basic Text-to-CAD feature creates CAD objects from natural language commands, and the all-new Part Creation & Editing tools allow precise design of both standard and custom components.
