Description

It operates independently with the included IntelliCAD license or can be utilized alongside a separately acquired full AutoCAD license. Purchases from Carlson Software will be sent via email, along with your new serial number and download instructions, typically within a two-business-day timeframe. All Map tools become accessible when used with AutoCAD Map, offering additional commands for managing Map data, including labeling Object Data Areas. Users can create points with customizable settings for symbols, layers, and styles, while the Point Group Manager allows for the organization of points into sets based on specified filters. The software includes features that automatically identify and resolve overlapping point labels using predetermined rules. Furthermore, it provides utilities for modifying point labels, including options to move them along with leaders, twist, or resize them as needed. Additionally, it includes construction estimating capabilities for tasks related to earthworks, subgrades, material quantities, strata quantities, and trench networks, making it a versatile tool for various engineering projects.

Description

IDEA Architecture provides sophisticated 3D BIM modeling while maintaining an interface similar to AutoCAD, allowing users to utilize basic 2D commands such as polylines, entity snaps, and copy functions to effortlessly create 3D models with our extensive library of 3D BIM objects. By simply drafting floor plans with the intuitive and parametric objects found in our AutoBLD menu, IDEA Architecture automatically generates the corresponding 3D representation. With a quick double-click, users can access and modify properties of any object with ease. Differentiating itself from other BIM software, IDEA Architecture utilizes DWG as its core file format and offers functionality to convert 3D BIM objects into straightforward vectors, which can be easily viewed and altered in AutoCAD®. This compatibility makes it simple to share both 2D and 3D files with a wide range of CAD users. Additionally, our Architectural Software incorporates all the capabilities of 4MCAD, which serves as a viable alternative to AutoCAD®, ensuring a versatile and comprehensive design experience. By combining user-friendly commands with powerful features, IDEA Architecture streamlines the transition from 2D to 3D design.
