New features:
- New House Wizard: Architectural design productivity has enhanced with a powerful new House Wizard tool, which makes creating room-by-room floor plans an automated and intuitive process. In addition to placing and sizing the specific rooms of your home design the way you want, the House Wizard lets you drop in closets, a garage, entry and passageways, even decking! Internal doors are also automatically created when the house is generated. Save time and generate floor plan designs based on your design preferences instantly.
- New Dynamic Dimensions for Doors and Windows: Now dimensions display as doors and windows are inserted, showing the distance to and from the wall ends for easier, more precise placement. Plus, corresponding offset fields have been added to the Inspector Bar.
- New Ray tool. Create rays on the construction line layer to more clearly define your construction geometry. Construction lines are also now editable, and can be edited into rays.
- New Lightworks 8.3 engine. TurboCAD's powerful rending engine now provides progressive, ray-traced rendering, improving workflow by generating fast estimates of the image and an early preview of light settings. Anti-aliasing for geometry & materials is also improved.
- New Window or Crossing Selection. Users can now select objects with a mouse by using the Window or Crossing methods similar to AutoCAD®. Drag the mouse from left to right to invoke Window mode and select only objects that are entirely within the blue window. Drag the mouse from right to left to invoke Crossing mode and select only objects that touch the green Crossing window.
- Enhanced Layers. TurboCAD 18 layers are more AutoCAD compatible, including a new layers dialog based upon 'Design Center'. Users also now have the ability to turn on/off Layers per Viewport.
