Beschreibung:
Kostenloses 3D-Programm für Architektur und Bauwesen aus den USA mit innovativem Bedienkonzept- Lite-Version von dem Programm Design Workshop:
Die Maus bewegt den Cursor in der xy-Ebene (und definiert so den Grundriss). In Kombination mit der [Alt]-Taste definiert die Maus die dazu senkrechten z-Koordinaten. Die Modelle enstehen somit aus Extrusion aus dem Grundriss oder durch Kombination von Blöcken.

Modeling
* Industry-leading 3D direct-manipulation click-and-drag interface
* Live 3D perspective modeling tools provide the most natural and easy way to create form
* Space-jump function provides instant, precise 3D crosshair positioning
* Click-and-drag in any view to create and resize openings in solid-object walls, using state-of-the art feature-based solid modeling technology
* Automatic Paste-Into-Openings function for instant and accurate placing of door and window frames
* Optional 3D-snapping to object handles, for CAD-style accuracy when you need it
* Easy creation and reshaping of common architectural shapes including cuboids, columns, extruded arches and mouldings, roofs, contour site models
* Complete automatic texture mapping and 3D image placement using named materials
* Complete light sources and rendering with separate controls for sun and artificial lighting
* Powerful "Knife Tool" provides fast, accurate trimming function for cutting both objects and groups
* Wallify function for instant conversions from massing model to spatial model
* "Fit Object" and 3D object alignment functions, for instant accuracy in modeling
* Merge Files for efficient handling of large projects in 3DMF format
* Object Info floating window for direct display and editing of object size, position, layer, material, etc.
* Unlimited user-named layers and materials
Viewing
* Immersion viewing with "eye", "look", and "walk" tools for fully dynamic navigation in 3D
* Live 3D walkthroughs of fully lit and textured models, with natural 'game-style' interface
* intutitive two-dimensional and three-dimensional zoom tools
* Plan, section, elevation, perspective, and axonometric views, all fully editable
* Shaded sections without cutting model, with automatic architectural poché
* Fast view-independent object-based shadow casting
* Instantly your own saved 3D views to the View menu, with automatic command-key short cuts
* Support for both multiple documents, and for multiple windows for each document
* Hide Objects, Projection Lines, etc. provide fast, professional-level modeling scene control
Rendering
* QuickDraw 3D real-time rendering with multiple lights and textures, using optimized trimesh geometry for maximum speed and reliability
* Anti-aliased and shadowed presentation rendering to any resolution (in DesignWorkshop Professional)
* Available hardware acceleration and transparency
* Resolution-independent wireframe, hidden-line, flat shaded, and shadow-cast object rendering in 32-bit color
* Smooth shading and texture rendering with multiple light sources
* Sun angle set by date, time and latitude
* Point and spot lights render in 32 bit color
* 150 named and scaled architectural material types built in, for rapid construction of realistic models
* Sun studies render in parallel, recording directly as QuickTime movies and/or sequenced PICT files
* Scripted walkthroughs by view list with variable interpolation, recording directly as QuickTime movies and/or sequenced PICT files (in DesignWorkshop Professional)
* Automatically takes advantage of QuickDraw 3D graphics acceleration hardware and special effects
* Easy production of QuickTime VR scenes
Interchange
* Integrates effectively with virtually every drafting software on the market
* Open, merge and save the QuickDraw 3D "3DMF" metafile format for seamless integration with most Macintosh 3D applications
* Complete clipboard support provides copy and paste from 3D to 3D, 3D to 2D
* Import and export DXF drawings and models (both 2D and 3D), with improved efficiency
* import and export DWG drawings and models (in DesignWorkshop Professional for Windows)
* Powerful Radiance scene export including texture-map translation, for accurate daylighting simulation
* PowerCADD 4.0 direct translator plug-in module, included free
* Import and export both Object PICT and Pixel PICT image formats
* Export live 3D models in VRML 2.0 format, complete with textures, for live 3D web publishing.
Output
* Print current window at any time with any standard Mac QuickDraw or PostScript printer
* Save current window at any time as a full 32-bit color PICT file, with image resolution limited only by available memory.
* With DesignWorkshop for Windows, Save in BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, and PICT formats.
Objects and Data
* Read and edit object dimensions, parameters, materials in Object Info floating window
