![]() IronCAD is getting a lot of attention these days, adding TraceParts, integrating GrabCAD, and more recently, adding KeyShot. To see what all the fuss was about, I figured I’d open up the software and take a look inside. Back with IronCAD version 1 in the 90s I witnessed it doing direct modeling (history-free), long before most CAD users knew they needed it. ![]() More accurately, IronCAD did both history and direct modeling back then, as it always was a hybrid molder. Before then, it was known as Trispectives with its Tri-Ball user interface, which is still present today. So, here we are today with IronCAD version 2014 and a host of new features. I could write an entire series of articles to cover the features of IronCAD properly. Step 1.2: Import the data into your GIS 12 Step 1.3: Identify overlaps and generate polygons 15 Step 1.4: Address gaps and validate 16 Option 2 Can polygons be drawn using basemaps or satellite imagery 18 Step 2.1: Select a polygon drawing platform 20 Step 2.2: Draw polygons 20 Step 2. I’ll start in this software review with the user interface, supported file types, and large model handling, and then I will highlight functions new to IronCAD 2014, including TraceParts, KeyShot, GrabCAD, and point clouds.īut for now, I’ll touch on some of the new and core features that are generating attention. ![]() In figure 1 I identify a few key interface elements, such as the Tri-ball, the Catalog Browser and Scene Browser.
