From Google Maps to Domus.Cad with Map2Cad
Map2Cad is a module of Domus.Cad Pro and Std, which enables you to import both satellite and road maps from Google Maps.
Maps are imported with actual measurements and represented in the video scale selected in Domus.Cad.
The main features of Map2Cad are:
- Internal browser for viewing maps, with the Google Maps functions integrated
- Import of maps
- Managing a list of maps
- Inserting the maps from the list into Domus.Cad
- Maps are imported with actual measurements
The use of Map2Cad is very simple and allows for the integration of each of the Google maps features in Domus, including search functions, display choices, street view and more.
When you choose Map2Cad from the Domus.Cad Modules menu, the following dialog box appears:
On the left, a list of previously imported maps appears.

Standard and Professional – Domus.Cad now twice as good!
With the latest version, Domus.Cad becomes twice as good, to better meet the professional requirements, both economic and functional, of designers.
Designers can now choose between Domus.Cad Std and Domus.Cad Pro.
Domus.Cad Pro is a complete BIM program, integrated with other programs to manage an entire project, with specialist functions to optimize and save time and simplify operations. For example, Domus.Cad Pro communicates seamlessly with other programs. It has powerful specialist functions, such as automatic creation of tables of demolished/rebuilt areas, entire wooden structures, complex spiral and helical stairs and much more.
Domus.Cad Std is not the classic ‘Light’ software, only there to boost sales of the more complete version. It is a program with all the functions a designer needs to create complete and complex projects, with total control of 2D and 3D aspects. It does not have some of the automatic functions, so here the designer will have to use the program’s more generic functions, which will take a little more time. This is for you if you don’t need to do internal computations, export to DOCFA for the Italian Land Registry or model terrain. Otherwise, Domus.Cad Std lets you use all the other functions at less than half the price of Domus.Cad Pro.
Domus.Cad Pro – Design without compromise
The new version of Domus.Cad is out – and it’s called Domus.Cad Pro.
No more numbers – we had reached version 16 – we’re starting at 1 of Domus.Cad Pro, where Pro stands for Professional, as opposed to the version Std (Standard), also being released.
Lots of new features that make Domus.Cad increasingly the best professional architecture and parametric program for architects worldwide.
Domus.Cad Std – The essential for architects
Domus.Cad Std – that’s Standard – is a new configuration of Domus.Cad, with a very attractive price, which is a complete work tool for architectural, parametric 3D drawing.
Domus.Cad Std has what you need, minus some Domus.Cad Pro functions that are not strictly necessary for drawing.
DigiCad 3D 9 – The latest in photogrammetry
Interstudio has released DigiCad 3D 9 for Mac Os X. The Windows version will be out soon. The new version contains lots of new features, including: New algorithms for transforming images, for image rectification and irregular surfaces, too. Not only have we made the function much faster, it is also more accurate outside of attach…
New Geo-Tec B 7.1 for slope stability verification
The new version 7.1 of Geo-Tec B is in the final beta test phase.
Geo-Tec B is a program for verifying stratified slopes in the presence of water beds, loads and reinforced zones. It also calculates for seismic zones.
Some novelties are:
Domus.Cad 16 – What’s new?
Vectorial rendering, the new vectorial rendering engine allows the user to obtain editable elevations, sections, perspectives, axonometries and in a way as the interactive 3D view, generating high quality and very detailed drawings, colored with the same colors as the interactive 3D view. New graphic interface, the palettes are functionally modified and re-arranged, grouping icons with similar…
Convert, view and print DWG, DXF and DWF
Interstudio released CAD File Converter, a program to convert, view and print DWG, DXF and DWF files, supporting all the format 12 … 2011.
CAD File Converter is the key that gives you access to drawings in the most common CAD formats, by making them compatible with your own graphic programmes – even if not the latest versions – visualising them and printing in PDF format.
Main functions are:
