| Upgrade from any version of LWCAD! Latest versions contains some revolutionary features as a real-time curve booleans or real-time polygons drilling which are absolutely unique in the industry. Also new set of archiviz tools which is specially designed for creating architecture. It allows user to create a complex building in a few minutes. Those new features will push you into another modeling dimension What's new - Global changes
- LightWave 9.5 compatibility
- Windows vista compatibility
- Nurbs curves limit raised to 1024 points per segment
- UCS new universal coordinate system applied globaly into all tools, enables you to work in custom defined plane.
- 3 modes :
- UCS off disable UCS
- UCS auto UCS is defined by first tool click, recignized from polygons or curves
- UCS fixed UCS from previous event, can be set by UCS tool
- Snap changes:
- AXIS snap to UCS lines
- ANGLE snap custom angle
- GRID snap UCS grid
- Constraint chain tools, make constraint for middle handles
- Real-time 3D booleans works with all 3D primitive tools
- Refined curve offset algorithm
New tools - UCS face defines UCS plane on polygon faces
- UCS edge defines UCS plane on polygon edges and corners
- Point creates points, add points into polygons, curves and divides curves
- Box creates polygonal boxes, derived from Rectangle tool
- Box3p creates polygonal boxes, derived from Rec3p tool
- Cylinder creates polygonal cylinder, derived from circle tool
- Pyramid creates polygonal pyramid object
- Tube creates polygonal cylinder with hole, derived from circle tool
- PLine creates a chain of two point polygons, with slice polygons option.
- Pattern 3D creates custom 3D polygonal objects, uses shape library 3D
- Pat3d Vector clones pattern 3d shape along the vector
- Pat3d Polygon clones pattern 3d shape on the polygon surface
- Radial Clone clones objects along the axis
- Bool tool universal boolean tool for curves and polygons
- Knife Tool knife tool for polygons and curves
- UCS Magnet fix tool for projecting points into defined UCS plane
- Line Magnet fix tool for projecting points into defined line
- Nail help tool for mounting objects on walls with defined offset
- Handle crates handles
- Pipe creates pipes with rounded joints
- Roof Pyramid creates pyramid roofs with booleans
Modified tools - Arc tool updated with angle mode
- Circle operates in three new modes : radius, diameter, 3 point
- Ellipse ellipse rotation enabled
- Rectangle center handle added
- Rec3p two side handles added
- Pattern 1d operate in 2d-3d mode
- Pattern 2d operate in 2d-3d mode
- Vector Clone new segment-full mode
- Array Clone new segment-full mode
- Mirror center handle added
- Join operates with curves and polygon
- Explode operates with curves and polygon
- Del Segment operates with curve segments and polygons
- Trim operates with curves and polygon
- Extrude works in two modes free and perpendicular
- Wall tool new center mode
- Window-Door modified offset mode, adjustable also with handle in viewport
- Roof tool revised numeric panel options, new half side mode, new boolean mode
- Add to lib 3Dsupports shape library 3D for Pattern 3D tools
