The version 23.0.1 of DigiCad 3D has been released which, among the various improvements, includes two very important functions, the conversion of PDFs into vector drawings, documents, graphics, etc., and the cropping of images, both for drilling and for cutting. Remember that DigiCad 3D is an aerial, terrestrial and cartographic photogrammetry program. PDF Conversion…
Also for DigiCad 3D the numbering of the versions changes, which, as already done with Domus.Cad, it is based on the year of release of the version, in this case 2023. All the versions released during the year will be numbered 23.01 , 23.02 etc. PDF import Importing images also imports documents in PDF format.…
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:
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.
We’re presenting here a list of “things to look for” specifically aimed at those with experience of other CAD programs who might appreciate special guidance for Domus.Cad. The following points highlight specific areas and draw attention to what makes the program unique compared to others.
It is often impossible to take the entire facade of a building in just one photograph. You have to take several photos then mount them together in a mosaic to form the picture.
Many programs claim to do mosaics of several photos, but what they actually mean can vary a lot. Some do no more than straighten up several photos in one document, leaving the user the task of mounting them together as best he can, with programs such as PhotoShop.
Excluding such kinds of program, many other alternatives remain:
80% of architectural work in Europe is done on old buildings. This is undoubtedly also the case in any country with an architectural heritage of buildings made of stone or other durable material, of equal or greater importance than any new construction work .
This means working with an incredible variety of non-standard construction elements. Some architectural CAD programs attempt to solve this by increasing the number of parameters, but it is a hopeless struggle, because the number of construction elements is infinite and it is near impossible to cover all eventualities. So the parameter problem becomes a real obstacle to the architect.
