When this option is enabled, the ends of the architectural object anchor to the AEC grid. Wall/Window/Door tools improvement: A new local menu option “Anchor to AEC Grid” has been added to the walls, windows, and doors. With this option enabled, the user can automatically move the axis to any position without having to rename it. The new option adds the ability to save the axis name without changing it, regardless of the order of the axes in the grid. With this new feature, it is now possible to edit slab edge style by activating “Edge Style” option in the edit mode.ĪEC Grid Keep Label Value: A new property ‘’Keep label value” has been added to the AEC Grids. Using edge styles, you can specify dimensions, such as the overhang length, and the orientation and angle of the edges. Now users can edit the slab edge styles via a new edit mode. Slab Edge Styles Support: A new category Slab Edge Styles has been added to the Style Manager. This Radial grid is a new tool that makes it easy to align other radial architectural objects in the drawing, such as curved walls and columns. The extended parameters include Edge and Face mode/color-related settings.Īrchitectural: AEC Radial Grid: A new AEC Grid “Radial Grid” has been added to the Architecture menu. When changing the parameters, you can switch the styles from one to another. Each visual style has its own set of parameters. These parameters are available for 3 visual style modes i.e., X-Ray, Conceptual, Shades of Gray. Visualize - Camera Extended Parameters: A new set of extended parameters have been added to the Draft Rendering page of Camera Properties. New draft rendering visual styles have been added to the Camera Properties -, X-Ray, Conceptual, Shades of Gray. Visualize - Visual Styles Settings: Visual Style Settings have been added to the named views. But with this new option, the user is able to have immediate results when selecting/deselecting different options before even clicking the “OK” button. Previously, the changes were applied only when clicking the “OK” button after selecting the options. When this option is enabled, the dialog parameter changes are immediately applied to the active window.
Visualize - Auto Update Current View: A new option “Auto update current view” has been added to the Draft Render in Camera Properties. TurboLux™ - Materials: TurboLux™ with a library of over 800, fully editable Materials, including a new Gemstones category, and an expanded Metals category. This is particularly beneficial in Interior Design. TurboLux™ supports advanced caustics by providing bidirectional path tracing to trace light not only from the camera but also from the lights in your scene to render the complex lighting scenes. TurboLux™ - Caustics: It is an optical phenomenon where the light shines through typically glass or water materials only to reflect and refract into additional light rays of different wavelengths and colors. Using a Denoiser is one way to remove these artifacts to accelerate progress towards a final, better quality rendered solution in a dramatically reduced period of time. Sometimes this sampling process can produce fireflies or unlit pixels. TurboLux™ - Denoiser: As a progressive-based rendering engine, TurboLux™ samples pixels towards a final rendered solution. Using this high performance device layer, TurboLux™ extracts the most out of your computer’s available hardware, which results in faster, high quality rendered images. This highly optimized rendering layer provides performance that scales nearly linearly with the number of available computing devices. TurboLux™ - Heterogeneous Computing: TurboLux™ uses OpenCL and/or CUDA to run on any number of CPUs or Nvidia-based GPUs that are available on your machine. Combined with shaders for matte, glossy, glass, car paint, and metal, these new materials enable renderings to look more realistic by simulating real world imperfections such as scratches, roughness, smudges, or noise. PBR Materials extend the traditional color mapping with normal, metallic, roughness, and height maps.
Support for PBR-compatible Materials for TurboCAD is included in the 2022 release, with over 800, fully-editable TurboLux™ materials in the TurboCAD Materials Palette. PBR models light and materials based on the laws of physics, accurately simulating the flow of light, resulting in eye-popping images of photographic quality.
Rendering and Visualization: TurboLux™: TurboLux™ is a state-of-the-art rendering technology that exploits Physically Based Rendering (PBR) techniques. The Professional version has a strong focus on Visualization, 3D Modeling, and Architectural enhancements.
New & Improved TurboCAD Professional TurboCAD 2022 Professional contains over two dozen New & Improved features and is highlighted by the inclusion of a new Physical-Based Rendering (PBR) engine, TurboLux™.
