New ability to create sections and elevations of any 3D object - horizontal, vertical or user defined. Sections can even be displayed in a rendered mode. Great for examining custom cross sections of buildings.

The Style Manager allows you to customize or modify styles and parameters for architectural object types, schedules, text and dimensions (both AEC and non-AEC) down to the last detail. Define a style guide and manage how objects are defined, look and behave. Plus, walls are now supported, so you can create multi-component architectural style walls and use them over an over with the wall tool. TurboCAD also now offers additional styles pre-configured for Windows, Doors, Stairs, Slabs, Rails, Tables and Text, instead of just one, for greater flexibility.

TurboCAD now supports custom Dimension and Text styles created in AutoCAD .DWG drawing. These styles are automatically extracted from an imported DWG drawing and saved into the Style Manager under the appropriate section.

Add more variety to the types of walls that can be created. Intelligent self-healing walls can now be made to understand all components that make up that wall, including inside sheet rock, insulation, outside sheet rock, wire mesh, stucco, etc., even it’s association with the foundation. Properties like brush style and color can also be added to each component. Store it as a single entity, and if you extend the wall, the foundation and everything associated with it will extend.

TurboCAD lets you simply drag-and-drop parametric doors and windows into self-healing walls. This operation is made even easier with these enhancements:

• Precise placement and editing of windows and doors have been made easier with new vertical alignment properties including Head Height, Sill Height for Windows and Head Height, Threshold Height for Doors.
• Editing is now easier with added “Right/Left” and “Inside/Outside” flip options added to Node Editing
• Measuring is simpler with “Measure To Property” added.
• Object Materials in render property offers more visualization options of these architectural object types

An offset field has been added to parametric slabs that allow you to specifically control the offset amount between floors and rooms.

Added ability to edit the Stair's height.

This parametric object type now includes the ability to attach railings or banisters to both sides of a set of stairs at once.
