Key Features

ACIS®-Based Solid Modeling

TurboCAD^® Platinum harnesses the robust ACIS^® 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 tools—including parallel, orthogonal, rotated, and Auto Dimension options—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

TurboCAD^® Platinum delivers a complete 3D design suite that unites precise drawing, surface modeling, and advanced ACIS^® solid modeling. Its Mechanical Toolset equips you with essential features—such as Thread, Twisted Extrude, Extrude to Face, and Parametric Holes—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

TurboCAD^® Platinum extends its capabilities with Ruby scripting and an SDK. Ruby—compatible with SketchUp Ruby Scripts—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 Features

Smartly Organized Workspaces & New Start Page

TurboCAD^® now offers intuitive, project-tailored workspaces that group the right tools for every task. The new launcher and start page provide pre-configured environments, professional templates, customizable themes, and quick access to recent files, minimizing setup time and enhancing overall efficiency.

Command Finder: Smart Tool Search

TurboCAD^® introduces Command Finder, an intelligent feature that quickly locates and executes commands. Type partial names—for example, "Li" for "Line"—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.

Moreover, the enhanced Save 3D View functionality now includes additional settings for customizing the view. You can fine-tune details such as the active decorator palette, visible floors, plans, subplan visibility, photo render lighting settings, lot specifications, and even the active cutaway object. A perfect blend of accuracy and ease!

Copilot Professional: Detailed Scene Analysis & Intelligent Part Generation

Exclusively available with the TurboCAD^® 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 updates—such as color markers, texture links, dark themes, and raw HTML previews—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.

TurboLux™ Rendering: Precise Control for Perfect Visuals

TurboLux™ Rendering brings robust controls to your projects by managing shadows, lighting, and tone mapping with precision. Easily adjust ground shadows—including darkness, position, and ground plane size—for realistic depth, while advanced tone mapping maintains scene brightness independently using a linear mode. Improved defaults, such as neutral white lighting optimized for architectural visualization, ensure your renderings meet professional standards with minimal tweaks.

Curtain Walls: Master Every Facade with Precision

Achieve meticulous control over building envelopes with the Curtain Wall tool. Designed for architectural excellence, it offers flexible grid-based facade design, nested horizontal and vertical divisions, and precise material assignment for frames and panels. With DWG compatibility for AutoCAD Architecture and specialized editing tools like split, join, and trim, this feature empowers you to rapidly create complex facades with clarity and precision.

File Interoperability

TurboCAD^® Platinum benefits from the latest Teigha (ODA) 25.7 update, enhancing DWG/DXF compatibility and improving overall file translation reliability. Additionally, SketchUp 2024 support allows direct imports of SKP files while preserving material assignments. These enhancements enable smooth collaboration across diverse CAD platforms and disciplines.

TurboCAD Pro Platinum Reviews

"I have used a number of other CAD programs and I believe TurboCAD's dwg translation is much better than average. I have even seen situations where TurboCAD salvaged drawings unopenable in AutoCAD (that were not created in TurboCAD."

Joseph M.

"Price-wise, TurboCAD is much more attractive than other engineering 3D software. It can do all the things that AutoCAD and Solidworks could do, but at a far more friendly price."

Ralf K.

"This is more than a program, it is a powerful tool. Very simple, clean interface, with all the tools and capabilities you could want. As a woodworker, the cut-lists can come in very handy on pieces requiring a large number of parts of various sizes."

James R.

"I have found the tools in TurboCAD to be adaptable to a broad range of tasks. I have done everything from machine parts to earth retaining structures with it. The interface has a much easier learning curve than other products. The input output features makes sharing drawings very easy."

Neil H.

"I have 34 years of CAD experience using the more expensive CAD programs and I use TurboCAD for my business. TurboCAD offers "new thinking" in CAD, which delivers a productive CAD platform at a reasonable price."

Paul S.

"I just love how TurboCAD is an all-purpose CAD application. That means that I can meet the needs of most of my clients using this single product. This includes mechanical designs for manufacture, furniture design and assembly instructions and even retail outlet store renders (interior and exterior)."

Don C.

"Many CAD programs are much too expensive or require a subscription, and prices tend to go way up to get a version that you can actually use for designing homes. For once, I feel like I made the right decision the first time"

Kevin M.

"I've been an AutoCAD user for 30 years. I recently switched to TurboCAD Pro Platinum 2017 and I found it very easy to transition. It has all the power of AutoCAD and does everything I need to do in my work as a designer. Thanks to IMSI for making available an affordable and productive tool for engineers, architects and CAD operators. This software is nothing less than fabulous at a price most can afford."

Bernd V.

"TurboCAD’s functionality is comparable to CAD software selling – or renting – for much more money. It provides all the features I need, and then some."
