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 – 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.
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…
Domus.Cad 15 for Windows and MacOs X is downloadable from the Internet site of Interstudio. There are a lot of improvements and modifications – here are a few: New quadrangular and triangular mesh-type elements, for faster and more accurate modeling. This brings many advantages to already-existing parts of the program, such as slabs and additional…
The monthly review ‘Applicando’, which traditionally dedicates a lot of space to creativity, graphics and design in the computer world, published an article on Domus.Cad written by Italian architect, Carlo Magri. Mr Magri was very complimentary both about the latest version of Domus.Cad and about us at Interstudio! Below are some excerpts from the…
A May 2006 issue of Computer Week contains an article entitled “Software for design and interior decoration”. The article reviews four programs, including Domus.Cad and the conclusion is that Domus.Cad is “THE BEST” ! Below are a few excerpts from the article: Domus.Cad is a 3D design program which contains a host of user-friendly…
Irene Chirico held a formative curricular internship at Interstudio where she deepened the techniques of treatment of points clouds. The internship is part of the 3D Data Processing and Collection course, carried out by IED, Istituto Europeo di Design Spa, in collaboration with Regione Toscana. The internship was carried out using the Domus.Cad BIM…
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.…
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.
When the first Macintosh 128 K came out in 1984, it had 3 programs, each of which – in their own way – were the basis for generations of other programs, many of which are commonly used today.
These programs were MacWrite, MacPaint and MacDraw (for vectorial drawing).
All three used the new graphic user interface and a new pointing device called a “mouse”. Also, they were WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) – what you see on the monitor is what comes out when printed.
Nowadays this seems normal, but then, it wasn’t. In fact, even today many CAD users, particularly AutoCad™, do not adopt this philosophy, and the video and print versions of the drawing are completely different.
MacWrite was the prototype of all word processing software that followed, including Microsoft Word, whose first version was created on Macintosh.
