Punch Software 93503 ViaCAD Pro v6.0 Architectural & Mechanical Design Tools

Punch! ViaCAD Pro designed with the Professional in mind. It gives you all the features of the revolutionary ViaCAD 2D/3D, plus increased high-end modeling power and a more robust collection of materials and textures for interactive visual realism.

You can use ViaCAD Pro as your foundation to create precise 3D Digital prototypes, suitable for concept-to-manufacturing solutions. Explore and develop new product concepts using a variety of modeling methods including tools unique to ViaCAD Pro for complex shape design. Whether you're designing furniture, jewelry, consumer products, or mechanical parts, ViaCAD Pro provides an environment that lets you Focus on the design and not the software. The innovative User Interface allows you to work freely in 3D with the intuitive snaps and intelligent work planes. Combined with the innovative tool prompts, hints, and online help, even the novice designer can quickly get up to speed with ViaCAD Pro. ViaCAD Pro supports an Integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the Task at hand. The different construction methods work together with Transparent associativity and a history tree to provide rapid design modifications, or use the local face modeling tools to modify parts imported from other CAD applications. ViaCAD Pro includes a strong foundation of basic surface and solid modeling tools. For complex shape design, ViaCAD Pro extends the tool set to include: Face Deformations; Trim, Join, and Split Surface; Bend Body Along Curve; Offset and Draft Surfaces; N-Sided Tangent Surfaces; Tangent Lofting; Untrim and Elevate Surface; G1/G2 Surface Matching; Surface Analysis and Booleans. It also features powerful tools for 2D architectural design; quickly create intelligent walls that automatically heal when positioned next to other walls. Explore new wall configurations by dragging or precisely changing parameters that control length, angle, and thickness. Add custom wall styles for detailed wall components or drag intelligent doors or Windows onto walls.
