Cadalyst - October 2007 - (Page 31) cadlabsreview PRODUCE. PERSUADE. PERFORM. ON PAPER. WITH CANON Figure 2. A paper space view of the Door and Window Schedule feature. GENUINE TONER, PARTS AND Figure 3. TurboCAD Pro 14 has a new Terrain tool that lets you enter discrete points or import triangulated terrain models of an actual site. When you design a building, it will go where it was intended and not surprise you. Figure 4. Face-to-Face Lofting lets you create a transition from one object to another. It’s good for ductwork. SUPPLIES. just about every aspect of your project (figure 2). The Terrain tool (figure 3) lets you model the actual building lot you are going to use. You can enter the data using xyz coordinates and then manipulate it by moving points. If you already have the data, you can import it using a triangular irregular network (TIN) format file. Mechanical Muscle The Face-to-Face Loft function (figure 4) lets you build a transition model between two selected objects. A good example is a piece of ductwork that goes from a rectangular cross-section to a circular pipe. The new Branch Loft function is intriguing. With it you can transition between one central trunk and two or more branches. I can think of many instances in which that would come in handy: for example, manifolds, wiring harnesses, and coat trees. You can use simple objects as well as compound profiles. TurboCAD Pro 14 will keep everything where it needs to be. And speaking of compound profiles (figure 5, p. 32), TurboCAD Pro 14 now supports them in a new, much more creative way. In some 3D modeling systems, you can have only one profile in a command. Not anymore. TurboCAD Pro 14 lets you select multiple profiles that don’t intersect each www.usa.canon.com 1-800-OK-CANON Canon is a registered trademark of Canon Inc. in the United States and may also be a registered trademark or trademark in other countries.
