Modular CAD Features Simple resizing: Modular CAD handles units of any design, so manufacturers, and even craftsmen can benefit from design automation.
Single items, or pieces of furniture which need to be produced in a variety of sizes can easily be handled.
There is also a batch function which can group a production batch of differing unit, of differing sizes together, and output unit, and component drawings and a consolidated list of panels and parts.
Fast planning in 3D: Modular CAD's other major feature is the 'room planning' function, where units are placed in defined runs, maintaining their alignment with neighbouring units even when they are swapped, deleted, resized or moved.
The planning function enables Modular CAD to create realistic 3D detailed spaces as diverse as kitchens, offices, factories, schollrooms, laboratories, bedrooms, supermarkets and warehouses.
Modular CAD produces drawings and listings of the whole area or areas, plus drawings and listings can be output at the press of a button.
