CAD Limited Products

Our portfolio of products can offer a solution for any discipline or size of company.

For data collection from site CAD Limited offer Sitemaster 3 (LaZerCAD) a program that links a laser measuring device such as a Disto to your cad system, also Curamess, photogrammetry software that allows the user to produce accurate elevational cad drawings from a photo.

For design - Allplan 2005 covers every aspect of the design process both 2D and 3D.

For those practices on a lower budget FastCAD and EasyCAD offer unrivalled speed, functionality and productivity for pure 2D.

And finally Squiggle turns those CAD looking drawings into hand drawn masterpieces to complete the design process.

Sitemaster 3 (LaZerCAD)

LaZerCAD - The Missing Link - Becomes Sitemaster 3

The Old way.....
Assuming that many projects involve extensions, or modifications to existing buildings, we start with a technician, using a laser based measuring tools, taking measurements on site – drawing the building by hand on a notepad. These sketches have to be developed by the senior architect who outlines the design, and then passes the drawings to technicians to be worked up in 2D CAD. These days most of the clients are requesting 3D walk through’s, so the 2D CAD drawings have to be converted into a 3D model usually at a high cost to the Practice. After showing the design to the client, a number of alterations may have to be made, and the process goes back into the loop. The Building has already been drawn four times at this stage.

The New way....

Compare it to what can be achieved now – Whilst measuring the building with the Disto, the intelligent Sitemaster 3 (LaZerCAD) software takes the laser measurements and draws the building there and then. Drawing first the main structure and then adding the window and door openings and other features....all on site....any mistakes are seen on screen in the Sitemaster 3 and can be put right....you walk away with a finished 2D survey. You can finish the drawing on site and email it back to the office or take it back to the office, load into you normal CAD package to add the drawing sheet and final detail.

Using Allplan 2005 to we can construct the building in 3D - That’s it ! - The building is measured and drawn. Using a digital camera, photograph the materials on site, or use any picture file, drag them onto the model in Allplan, export this as a VRML file and e-mail directly back to the office from site using your mobile phone.

From laser measuring device on site to full 3D rendered virtual walk through, with plans and elevations - back at the office in an hour - or so.

Sitemaster 3 (LaZerCAD).... The Missing Link will run cross platform on the PC and Windows CE and Pocket PC (PDA's).

Curamess

Curamess - Curamess is a new program for determining dimensions based on digital images. This program enables users to benefit from photogrammetic procedures. The technical equipment required (PC; digital camera, camera, scanner) does not need to be very sophisticated.
Precise results are achieved even after a brief intorduction. Curamess analyzes coordinates, lengths, areas and transfers elevations or floor plans directly to Allplan.

FastCAD Is Not Just a Name, It's a Fact.

FastCAD 32v7 2D/3D is a full-featured precision 2D/3D CAD program, the newest product in Evolution Computing's line of award-winning PC-based CAD software. FastCAD's unique design and wealth of features shorten the learning curve and enable you to create professional quality drawings in just a few hours.

Though FastCAD 32 is written to harness the power and flexibility of the Windows 98/NT/2000/XP operating system, it still retains the unique qualities that made our DOS software the choice for many power users in the CAD community...

Speed

FastCAD 32 is the one of the fastest CAD products in the PC market today. FastCAD's unique CAD engine is crafted in assembly language, designed to work directly with today's powerful processors. Nothing is more efficient and speed isn't the only payoff. FastCAD 32's economical management of resources results in a program size that is absurdly small by today's software standards - yet nothing is compromised in FastCAD's design and capabilities.

Ease of Use

FastCAD has paved the way in making CAD accessible to anyone who could use a mouse. That still hasn't changed. From the CAD Operator or Engineer who uses FastCAD eight hours a day, every day, to the casual user who spends only a few hours a week with it, getting up and running and producing is seldom easier. You won't need a six week class learning to use our program, and refreshing your knowledge after a hiatus will take minutes, not hours or days.

Ability to Customise

What you get "out of the box" can be tailored by you to make your work easier. You can rearrange or add items to the pull-down menu, create new commands with FastCAD's powerful macro language, and create new icons and add them to any toolbar. You can easily create new hatch patterns and line types. With the XP Toolkit (available only in C or assembly language), you can even create new entity types and custom commands that run at the same speed as FastCAD itself!
