TurboCAD Pro Platinum includes an integrated suite of architectural tools that accelerate productivity in design and drafting, or in the documentation of existing compatible architectural models. TurboCAD architectural objects are AutoCAD® Architecture (ACA) compatible so that .DWG models with ACA extensions may be read, modified, and documented as needed. Architectural Tools included in TurboCAD Pro are Wall, Window, Door, Roof, Slab, Stair, Rail, Marker, Schedule, Terrains, and a Style Manager. And all the architectural objects have both 2D and 3D representations, so that elevations, floor plans, and ISO views are easier to document.

Using self-healing walls is dramatically faster than designing with standard double line tools. The TurboCAD Pro Wall tool includes compound wall definitions to generate multiple-component walls with separate design parameters such as width, offset, and the hatches to represent each material within the wall. Because AutoCAD includes object enablers for AEC wall objects, a design from TurboCAD will keep its self-healing properties even when modified in the basic AutoCAD, or AutoCAD LT®, neither of which includes the tools necessary to create the architectural objects.

The integration of the tools facilitates productivity: create a roof automatically by selecting the walls; add a railing to stairs with a click; drop in a schedule and see all the elements generated on the fly.

And all the architectural objects have both 2D and 3D representations, so that elevations, floorplans, and ISO views are easier to document. There are many other improvements to the tools including door and window muntins, a bottom wall modifier, new Rail tool improvements, and others. Many of the standard templates were also modified to provide better default settings for each of the tools.
