Developed by architects and software engineers for architecture, DataCAD includes tools that make design and drafting much easier for your students, such as automatic door and window insertion, associative dimensioning and hatching, automated 3D framing and OpenDWG-based DXF/DWG translators. DataCAD is listed as the second most-widely used software by registered architects according to the most recent American Institute of Architects (AIA) firm survey.

 

Friendly user interface!
Students as early as junior high have been seen to create a floor plan for a small house, add door and window openings, and generate multiple 3D views of the house within an hour or two of first sitting down with DataCAD.

DataCAD 9 can display an unlimited number of DataCAD drawings and bitmap images simultaneously for design coordination and to facilitate the exchange of drawing data between multiple documents.

 

 

Who Uses DataCAD?

According to an AIA survey, DataCAD is the second most widelt used CAD software amoung American Institute of Architects (AIA) member firms. DataCAD is used in a wide variety of architectural design applications. Academic licenses are available.

 

Although no setting is withheld from advanced users, the DataCAD default settings have been designed so that a new user can immediately start creating architectural designs without first having to go through the long frustrating period of learning about all of the system settings that is required by many other CAD programs. This is extremely helpful to instructors who have a very limited time for introducing students to CAD.

A superior 2D drafting tool!
DataCAD provides all of the drawing and design tools required for creating complete building documentation.

 

A 2D/3D preview window in the
Insert Symbol dialog box lets
students see the symbol before
inserting it into their drawings

 

A large collection of templates and symbols are included!
In CAD, no one should ever have to draw anything twice. With DataCAD, you frequently don't even have to draw things once. Thousands of standard symbol files are included. The collection of included symbols not only saves drawing time, but provides instructors with an excellent teaching aid for introducing architectural design standards and concepts to students.

 

Build 3D visualization skills!
As soon as a floor plan has been drawn, the DataCAD user has the ability to switch to 3D views of the design. Isometric and other parallel projection views can be created with the click of a mouse button. With DataCAD, defining a new perspective view is as easy as using the mouse to position a viewing point and a viewing direction. DataCAD also comes with a quick shader function to enhance 3D views of designs.

Powerful macro functions included!
Imagine creating a complete spiral or double back staircase in one click. Then imagine viewing a shaded perspective view of the stairs with just a couple of more clicks. The included 3D Stairs macro makes all this possible. Another macro provides for creating wall, floor, and roof, framing complete with a list of required framing lumber. Additional professional level macros are included that will provide your most advanced students with previously undreamed of design power.
 

Rendering and animation at no extra cost!
Each copy of DataCAD comes with the Visual Reality rendering and animation program. With this program it is possible to generate photorealistic images and animations of designs produced with DataCAD.
