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

Blend Curves

A new tool “Blend Curves” has been added to TurboCAD 2024. This tool can blend polylines and curves. It works in two different modes, G2 continuous and minimized radius of curvature. “G2 continuous” builds Bezier segment by 2 points, 2 directions, and 2 curvatures. “Minimize radius of curvature” constructs a Bezier segment whose maximum radius of curvature is minimal.

Points along path

A new tool “Points along path” has been added to the Draw menu in the Points sub-menu of TurboCAD 2024. By activating this tool, the user can set points along the path(curves), followed by the properties “number of points” and “by distance”.

Selector 2D

TurboCAD 2024 introduces new axis options in Selector 2D.

New Handle ‘Y-axis:

“Y-axis” has been added to the selector 2D. This allows user to rotate selected objects around the reference point and move them along the y-axis.

Axis Labels:

A new option ‘Show Axis Labels’ has been added to the ‘Selector 2D’ page in the Selector Properties dialog. When enabled, it displays axis labels X, and Y.

Conceptual Selector

The Conceptual selector is now available in Visualize Wireframe, Hidden Line and Draft and works for all types of Visualize devices: GDI, OpenGL, OpenGLES2. The conceptual selector in Visualize supports all features available in RedSDK. In contrast to the classic mode, the Conceptual Selector uses a full-blown 3D model, materials, lighting, adjustable scale, and editing capability. The user can edit: the selector geometry, materials, the set of handles, response to mouse movements, etc. All data about the Selector is stored, which is accessible for editing.

'Ground Shadow' Category in Environment Library

A new Visualize Environment category “Ground Shadow” has been added to the environments library for TurboCAD 2024. 9 environments with thumbnails have been added to this category, i.e., Plan, Left, Right, Top, Blurry 4, Blurry 8, Ground Offset 0.5, Opacity 0.5, and Opacity 0.9.

Surface by set of polylines

A new tool “Surface by Polylines” has been added to the Lofts tools in the Draw menu for TurboCAD 2024. This tool creates a 3D mesh (surface) from a set of polylines, arcs, and curves. The starting point of the first polyline connects to the nearest starting point of the next polyline, and so on. Optionally, you can create a “smooth” surface along the direction of the “polylines” by adding additional polylines.

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."
