Tutorial Compatibility with TurboCAD 2015
An important message about changes in TurboCAD and what this means for Textual Creations TurboCAD tutorials.
With the arrival of TurboCAD 2015 comes a significant change for TurboCAD. TurboCAD users will now find that the program no longer comes loaded with the LightWorks engine that was part of the program since its early days. LightWorks has been fully replaced by RedSDK which began to be implemented back in version 18 and became the default engine selection in version 20. Those that want to continue using LightWorks will need to purchase it as an add-in from IMSI/Design.
What this means for Textual Creations TurboCAD tutorials is that no tutorial before TurboCAD 2015 (i.e. V21.2 and previous) will be applicable in TurboCAD 2015. This is mostly due to to the fact that all previous tutorials were based on LightWorks where the difference is very prevalent when it comes to Materials, Luminance Lighting and Render Scene Environments. The author intends to work strictly with RedSDK while writing new tutorials.

TurboCAD
Pro V21.2 - Curio Cabinet
From the Introduction:
It is time for a woodworker's tutorial and what better construct than an elegant curio cabinet with a semi-complex design.
Unlike most of the tutorials offered by the author, this particular tutorial is approached with a 'design as we go' format. As such, there is the occasional design change made within the tutorial. Making changes helps illustrate the thinking behind designing and illustrates methods to edit parts as needed due to design changes. Making changes is definitely something a designer will need to know how to do as he or she proceeds with all future designs.
Within the tutorial the reader will be lead through each keystroke to produce every component of the curio cabinet that is illustrated on the cover of the tutorial (with the exception of some downloaded standardized parts that get inserted). The reader will also learn how to insert standard lighting, will learn how to utilize render scene luminance and establish a render scene environment. Additionally, the reader will learn how to render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format.

TurboCAD
Pro V21.1 - 5 Cylinder Radial Engine
From the Introduction:
The Radial Engine tutorial was originally written for TurboCAD Pro V15, but it has been fully updated for TurboCAD Pro v21.
I have wanted to create a tutorial for a radial engine for eons but always felt a bit intimidated by the idea. However, like any good modeler, I decided to face the challenge and see what I could come up with. To my surprise and pleasure, the task was not terribly difficult in the end. It just required some forethought, a bit of time spent researching and the drive to make it happen, which I already have in spades, as the saying goes. Although I based the radial engine on some internet photos I found while researching, much of the model was made up as I experimented with the design.
I hope that you will enjoy following the tutorial and will feel the magic of TurboCAD that I feel every time I create something with the program.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be lead through each keystroke to produce every component of the radial engine that is illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. The reader will learn how to create all the components using 2D profiles and modified 3D shapes. The reader will learn how to insert standard lighting, how utilize render scene luminance and utilize a render scene environment. Additionally, the reader will learn how to render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format.

TurboCAD
Pro V21 - Executive Jet
From the Introduction:
Lofting profiles in TurboCAD to create organic shapes is usually the
route taken to create such things as airplanes, boats and cars. Since
TurboCAD is not a NURBS based 3D modeling package it is not
always easy to get the desired results and most often a user must live
with a lesser degree of precision. Be that as it may, these organic
shapes can be created in TurboCAD to some degree with some planning,
some experimentation and a strong desire to make it happen.
The executive jet in this tutorial will be approached more like one
would proceed with a modeling program than one might with precision CAD
software. Much of the detail will be created by 'tracing' strategically
positioned and scaled images. As such, a reader may find that the input
data listed within the tutorial may not be exactly as what is seen on
their own desktop. This does not mean that the tutorial cannot be
followed, but the reader must be aware that this is the case and that
they must use their data in place of what is written in the tutorial.
This will become clearer as the tutorial progresses and it is not
something that should cause any grief.
Those who have worked through the Textual Creation tutorial known as
Airliner (from v15) will notice many similarities in this tutorial. Be
that as it may, a number of areas in this tutorial are approached
differently and some areas expanded upon. This tutorial also includes a
short boat hull lofting lessen at the end to demonstrate a different
form of lofting, one not used while creating the Executive Jet.
Within the tutorial the reader will be lead through each keystroke to
produce every component of the executive jet that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the
user will learn how use materials (including UV wrapping), how to
insert standard lighting and how to utilize render scene luminance. The
reader will learn how to establish a render scene environment and the
reader will learn how to render their drawing and save it in a high
resolution image format.

Pro V21 - Architectural Presentation
From 2D Drawing to 3D Model
From the Introduction:
Without a doubt, one of the larger fields where CAD software is
employed regularly is within the architectural industry and its myriad
faces. As such, any means to make the process of architectural
presentation quicker and easier is most certainly welcome. With such
thinking driving the development of TurboCAD, this awesome program
continues to evolve and provide users a formidable way to achieve
pleasing and functional plans and renderings in a very timely and
professional manner.
TurboCAD Pro V21 - Architectural Presentation is a fully illustrated
tutorial that leads the beginner through every keystroke necessary to
transform IMSI/Design's 2D Marion floor plan into the fully detailed 3D
model presented on the cover of this tutorial. The furnishings are not
created during the tutorial, but they are supplied and inserted into
the house during the tutorial. This tutorial was originally
written for TurboCAD version 11 and then revised for version 15 and
again for version 17. Due to its popularity it has now been fully
revised for version 21, integrating new program processes and some new
design ideas.
Also within the tutorial, the reader will learn how to set up their
drawing, how to insert standard lighting and how utilize render scene
luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render scene
environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing and
save it in a high resolution image format. Three different views will
be established and one paper space page will be created.

TurboCAD
Pro V21 - Drawing Template
Create Reusable Drawing Templates
Including ANSI A, B, C and D Size Sheets
Note that the large foprmat printer is not created during the tutorial,
it is only a prop for the book cover.
From the Introduction:
One of the fundamental tenets of any CAD package is to never draw the
same thing twice. This is very sound advice and a user would be wise to
broaden this tenet to its fullest definition. This not only includes
using blocks and symbols while drawing but it includes devising ways to
approach the more mundane things such as repeating text and
establishing tool properties or styles. One way to address much of this
is to create a drawing template(s) where many properties have been
pre-established and which includes at least one paper space page that
has a reusable title block.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce four ANSI size reusable TurboCAD templates with title blocks.
These are based on the mechanical style the author uses in his daily
work with one client within the manufacturing industry. The reader will
find much discussion within the pages of this tutorial that will
hopefully provide good insight into choices that are made.

Pro V21 - Workplanes
Demystifying TurboCAD Workplanes
From the Introduction:
One of
the fundamental concepts
in TurboCAD, when it comes to drawing in 3D, is the use and
understanding of
workplanes. Most new users are initially overwhelmed by this concept,
but once
the user puzzles out what workplanes are all about they quickly realize
that
they weren't that complex after all.
Each
workplane tool, complete with a user-friendly explanation and example,
will be
illustrated within this tutorial and this will be done by having the
reader
work through various examples keystroke by keystroke. By the time the
reader
reaches the end of this tutorial any confusion about workplanes should
have
lessened significantly.

Pro V20.1 - Gear Reducer
From the Introduction:
While tooling around GrabCAD one day looking for tutorial inspiration I
came across the work of Verislav Mudrak and his very cool gear reducer.
Having been impressed by the model, and thinking that it would be an
ideal mechanism to create during a TurboCAD tutorial, I contacted
Verislav and asked for permission to use his model as the basis for a
new tutorial. I am happy to say that Verislav replied in the
affirmative and this tutorial has come about due to his willingness to
share. Thanks Verislav!
Check out Verislav’s GrabCAD page and the reducer model, if desired.
http://grabcad.com/verislav.mudrak/about
http://grabcad.com/library/reducer--3
I hope that you enjoy the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
create the gear reducer that is illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will
learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize render scene
luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render scene
environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing and
save it in a high resolution image format.

TurboCAD
Pro V20.1 – Sheet Metal Box
(With UV Wrapped Texture)
From the Introduction:
The Sheet Metal Box tutorial is a narrow focus tutorial that looks
specifically at two processes. The first is the ability to bend sheet
objects and the second is the ability to wrap an image texture to the
bent results. Although the ability to bend sheets, via the Bend tool,
has been available in the Platinum version of TurboCAD for a number of
versions the ability to effectively wrap these bent objects has not, at
least not in an easy and efficient manner. With the arrival of TurboCAD
V20 and its new UV Wrapping tools the user now has the ability to
effectively wrap these bent objects. As with any new tool, the process
has a bit of a learning curve and it is the hope of the author that
this short tutorial will help users come to grips with the new process.
Please be advised that the Platinum edition of TurboCAD V20 is required
to create sheet metal box. A 3D box is supplied, however, for those who
want to learn about UV Wrapping but only possess the basic version of
TurboCAD Pro
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
create the tissue box illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. Aside
from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will learn how to
insert standard lighting and how to utilize render scene luminance. The
reader will learn how to render their drawing and save it in a high
resolution image format. The reader will also learn how to utilize
paper space to create a drawing that illustrates the pre-bend sheet.

TurboCAD
Pro V20.1 – Construction Drawings
From the Introduction:
At one point in time I received an email with a request to create a
tutorial that would lead a reader through the steps necessary to create
a set of construction drawings. The request specified a double hung
window or an entry door. Initially I had my mind set on illustrating
the double hung window but it quickly became apparent that the window
was just too complex to fit into a tutorial of reasonable length. The
entry door, although complex enough, requires fewer components and so
seemed much more suitable for a tutorial. It is by all means adequate
to illustrate the processes necessary to create a set of construction
drawings.
This tutorial was originally written for TurboCAD Pro V15 but has been
fully revised and updated for TurboCAD Pro V20.1. There have been many
great additions to the program since V15.
I hope that you will enjoy the tutorial as much as I had creating it.
Best regards, Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
create the framed 36" entry door illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will
learn how to insert standard lighting and how to render their drawing
and save it in a high resolution image format. The reader will also
learn how to utilize paper space where the construction drawings will
be created utilizing viewports, inserted drafting palette objects
(views/inserts), dimensions and annotations.

TurboCAD
Pro V20 – Pneumatic Cylinder
From the Introduction:
TurboCAD is an exceptional tool when it comes to creating CAD drawings
and 3D visuals. One of the great benefits that come from modeling in 3D
using TurboCAD is that once the 3D model is created a near infinite
number of views can be established. These views can include a variety
of environments, lighting schemes and embellishments. The TurboCAD user
can also create many styles of visuals that include exploded views,
section views and even cutaway views, the latter of which is what will
be worked toward in this tutorial.
Readers of earlier Textual Creations TurboCAD tutorials will recognize
the pneumatic cylinder within this tutorial as the model from the
Textual Creations tutorial Mechanical Illustration V11.2 &
V15.1. Modeling in V20 is essentially the same, with a number of
processes simplified along the way, but the final result is much more
refined.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
create the pneumatic cylinder that is illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will
learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize render scene
luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render scene
environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing and
save it in a high resolution image format.

Pro V20 –
Modular Cabinets
with Kitchen Scene
From the Introduction:
TurboCAD is, without a doubt, the ideal companion for any cabinet maker
needing to lay out kitchens in a timely manner. This is especially so
if a user spends some initial time creating a modular cabinet system
that makes resizing and placing cabinets a breeze. The benefits don't
stop there. Once the layout is established a user can easily create
dimensioned drawings and realistic renders to share with those in the
shop, with one's marketing team and with prospective customers.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
create a modular cabinet system that will be used to create the kitchen
scene illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. To help create a much
more pleasing final scene the author has supplied several household
items (created in TurboCAD) that the user will place during the
tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will
learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize render scene
luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render scene
environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing and
save it in a high resolution image format.

Pro V19.2 –
Exterior Architectural Setting
From the Introduction:
For the last couple of years it has been my pleasure to have a large US
national advertizing company as a client. The sales teams for this ad
company will often make presentations to many of the big name chain
stores businesses that we all see in our daily travels. These chains
include clothing stores, restaurants, grocery stores, home stores and
even car dealerships. Pretty much wherever one would find a larger
market for ads – especially signs and product displays.
My roll has been to create many of these environments in 3D and include
the proposed ad material within the 3D environments. The overall 3D
presentation has often taken many forms, some of which show the overall
environments in a gray-scale render format with the new ad material in
full color (as in selective coloring). Some have been created in full
color but without the surrounding environment, while still others have
been created in full color and do include a full surrounding
environment. They are all quite fun to create but do offer some
challenges. I will often receive one or two photos for reference and
asked to create a scene such as the one pictured in the reference
material and to include the attached signage. Of course, there are no
blueprints provided to make the job easier so it is a matter of doing
my best to replicate the scene (or improve upon it). For the most part
I just rely on my limited knowledge of commercial buildings and
occasionally on data I have found via a Google search (for fixture
dimensions, etc). Including a surrounding environment is one thing that
proved very challenging at first. This was mostly due to the fact that
I did not have access to a good selection of photographic backgrounds
that could be used within TurboCAD or added afterward via Photoshop. I
did find a solution that proved to be quite adequate and I will share
that, along with many other details of the whole creation process,
within the tutorial.
I really enjoy the process of creating these 3D architectural scenes
and find that TurboCAD has been such a tremendous partner for helping
get the job done in a timely manner. With the addition of 64-Bit
technology I can now add more detail than ever before in TurboCAD and
render without issue.
I hope that you enjoy working through the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce almost all of components of the architectural scene that are
illustrated on the cover of the tutorial (four seat table sets and
trash bins are supplied). Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD,
the user will learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize
render scene luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render
scene environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing
and save it in a high resolution image format.

TurboCAD
Pro V19.2 –
Roll Top Computer Desk
From the Introduction:
Many requests have been made of the author to create a tutorial that
would lead a woodworker through all the stages of a modern furniture
design project. It was hoped that the tutorial would show how to use
the program in such a way that a two-dimensional design concept could
be turned into a three dimensional model for client presentation and
that shop drawings could be created from the 2D and 3D drawings. This
tutorial is the result of those requests.
Construction note - the following design will be based on the use of 19
mm wood panels for construction and the cabinet components
will
be assembled, for the most part, using plate joinery biscuits.
Within the tutorial, the reader will learn how to create all the 2D and
3D components required to create the modern roll top desk and
accompanying drawings that are illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user will
learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert standard lighting.
The reader will learn how to establish render scene luminance and a
render scene environment. The reader will also learn how to render
their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format. The reader
will also learn how to utilize paper space with inserted viewports and
drafting palette objects, along with dimensions and annotations, plus
much more.

Workplanes
Demystifying
TurboCAD Workplanes
From the Introduction:
One of the fundamental concepts in TurboCAD, when it comes to drawing
in 3D, is the use and understanding of workplanes. Most new users are
initially overwhelmed by this concept, but once the user puzzles out
what workplanes are all about they quickly realize that they weren't
that complex after all.
Each workplane tool, complete with a user-friendly explanation and
example will be illustrated within this tutorial and this will be done
by having the reader work through various examples keystroke by
keystroke. By the time the reader reaches the end of this tutorial any
confusion about workplanes should have lessened significantly.

Pro V19.1 -
Finger Press Engine
From the Introduction:
TurboCAD is very well suited for Mechanical Drafting with its myriad
tools and functions that make the job so easy. With each new version
that hits the market the professional user will readily notice how much
effort has been put into developing and fine tuning this wonderful CAD
package. TurboCAD Pro, now with a 64-Bit version, means that a user can
tackle the most complex assemblies knowing full well that the program
will deliver.
The Finger Press Engine tutorial was created especially for those with
a bent toward mechanical drafting. It is a very comprehensive review
that leads the reader through a full project that outputs fifteen pages
of blueprints ready for the manufacturing floor. It includes
instructions on creating the model in all its 3D glory, creating an
exploded view, getting the model to paper space and even creating a
bill of materials.

TurboCAD
Pro V19.1 -
Drawing Template
From the Introduction:
One of the fundamental tenets of any CAD package is to never draw the
same thing twice. This is very sound advice and a user would be wise to
broaden this tenet to its fullest definition. This not only includes
using blocks and symbols while drawing but it includes devising ways to
approach the more mundane things such as repeating text and
establishing tool properties or styles. One way to address much of this
is to create a drawing template(s) where many properties have been
pre-established and which includes at least one paper space page that
has a reusable title block.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce four ANSI size reusable TurboCAD templates with title blocks.
These are based on the mechanical style the author uses in his daily
work with one client within the manufacturing industry. The reader will
find much discussion within the pages of this tutorial that will
hopefully provide good insight into choices that are made.

Pro V18.2 -
Interior Architectural Setting
From the Introduction:
A common request for theme specific TurboCAD tutorials is interior
architectural renderings. Those that have submitted requests often
include the desire to learn how to approach such a theme, how to use an
image to reflect what is visible outside the windows and how to
establish interior and exterior lighting that will help make the scene
seem welcoming and believable. It is with this in mind that TurboCAD
V18.2 Pro - Interior Architectural Setting has been created.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce most of components of the classroom that are illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. Five items are supplied to help keep the
tutorial time to a manageable amount. Supplied models include the
Laptop, the Light Switches, the Recycle Bin, the Teacher's Chair and
the Student Desk. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user
will learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert standard
lighting. The reader will learn how to establish render scene luminance
and a render scene environment. The reader will also learn how to
render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format.

TurboCAD
Pro V18.2 – Bill of
Materials
From the Introduction:
An important part of any design scheme is the ability to create a list
of parts and materials used within a drawing. Although TurboCAD does
not have a dedicated bill of materials function per se it does come
with some tools that can be used to create a report that can be used in
the production of a bill of materials. All of the initial work is done
right in TurboCAD and through the onboard export functions some
additional automation can be added using Microsoft Excel or other such
spreadsheet software.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the night stand that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial, with the exception of the hardware which has
been supplied. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user
will learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert standard
lighting. The reader will learn how to establish render scene luminance
and a render scene environment. The reader will also learn how to
render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format. The
reader will also learn what steps to take to give custom attributes to
all the parts of the night stand and how to create a detailed report
for use in a final Excel bill of materials. The user will also learn
how to use the layout tool to create a cutting plan, a plan that could
be exported and perhaps used in conjunction with one's cnc machine.

TurboCAD
Pro V18.1 – Preparing a
Model for Final Rendering
From the Introduction:
If there has been one area where I have received more tutorial requests
than any other it has to be for a tutorial that looks specifically at
Materials, Lighting and Environment. In essence - preparing a drawing
for a final render.
As daunting a task as this was, I decided that it was high time to make
it a reality. To aid in the task I have decided to forgo creating a
model during the tutorial, which is always time consuming. As such, I
am providing a model that will serve as the subject matter (the MP3
Player), thus allowing all tutorial time to be spent on the three
desired areas - that of Materials Application, Lighting (Standard and
Luminance) and Environment. All three areas require review as all three
affect one another at every level. This is one of the main reasons that
so many users struggle with these particular TurboCAD functions......
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce the rendered MP3 player that is illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. The reader will learn about the relationship between
materials, lighting and scene and what it takes to get decent results.
The user will also learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert
standard lighting. The reader will learn how to establish render scene
luminance and a render scene environment. The reader will also learn
how to render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image
format. Unfortunately, the reader will also learn that there is not one
quick and easy setting that will work for every drawing –
that
experimentation and persistence is key to success.

the classic student desk? Although not the most exciting design, it
does offer some interesting challenges to those wanting to draw it in
3D. The molded seat and back are two of those challenging objects and
some interesting approaches are illustrated within the tutorial that
allow for fairly easy construction.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the student desk that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the
user will learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert standard
lighting. The reader will learn how to establish render scene luminance
and a render scene environment. The reader will also learn how to

TurboCAD
Pro V18.1 - Antique Cannon
From the Introduction:
The antique cannon is a pretty remarkable device when one considers the
carpentry and blacksmith skills that are required to construct and
continually maintain its structure when dealing with the forces imposed
upon it.
This seemingly simple model is actually quite complex and its
construction requires some definite forethought as will be seen while
working through the tutorial. The amount of hardware required to hold
the cannon together and to anchor it to the ship, where it would likely
be found, is enough to tax TurboCAD and requires special attention to
the onboard ACIS settings.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the antique cannon that are illustrated on
the cover of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD,
the user will learn how to set up the drawing and how to insert
standard lighting. The reader will learn how to establish a render
scene environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing
and save it in a high resolution image format.

Pro V18.1 -
Octagonal Gazebo
From the Introduction:
Recently, I sent out a survey asking my tutorial customers how they
felt about the tutorial materials I provide. Was it meeting their
expectations? Did they like the format? Was it a good value for the
cost? And, of course, if there were any particular fields or topics
that they would like to see new tutorials. The responses clearly showed
that the materials were meeting or surpassing expectations, were of
great value and that the format was ideal . There were a few
suggestions for new material and of those suggestions the greatest
number asked for more in the fields of carpentry and cabinet making. It
is with this in mind that I have chosen to pen TurboCAD Pro V18.1
–
Octagonal Gazebo as the first post-questionnaire tutorial. The tutorial
is based, for the most part, on free gazebo plans that I found on the
internet.
I hope that you enjoy working through the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all 'wood' components of the gazebo that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the
user will learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize
render scene luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render
scene environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing
and save it in a high resolution image format. The reader will also
learn about many of the functions found within paper space and will
create two pages of detailed drawings.

TurboCAD
Pro V18 - Rope
Clamp
From the Introduction:
There have been a number of requests to create another TurboCAD
tutorial that would concentrate more fully on the functions found in
paper space. This tutorial started out as the answer to those requests
but, as luck would have it, it turned out that the rope clamp was a bit
more complex than first anticipated. Although the rope clamp does take
a bit longer to model than initially hoped, there was still plenty of
time remaining to address many of the functions that are, indeed, found
in paper space.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the rope clamp that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the
user will learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize
render scene luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render
scene environment and the reader will learn how to render their drawing
and save it in a high resolution image format. The reader will also
learn about many of the functions found within paper space and will
create, not only a title block, but three pages of detailed drawings.

Pro V17.2 -
Oscillating Fan
From the Introduction:
While looking around my office for tutorial inspiration I spotted my
trusty Sanyo fan that has run every day of every season without fail
for more years than I can remember. It dawned on me that the fan would
provide a number of challenges for the TurboCAD user. The base, with
its unique neck, would provide a good opportunity to take the Lofting
tool for a spin. The base, with its unique neck, along with the motor
case would be sure to give the Fillet tool a run for its money; and
what about all those cage wires? Would TurboCAD be able to manage them
and allow a full render? Well, I am here to tell you that the fan
tutorial ended up being quite a blast to create and TurboCAD managed it
all in stride.
I hope that you enjoy working your way through this (my 75th) TurboCAD
tutorial.
Best regards,
Don

Pro V17.2 - Retro
Fridge
From the Introduction:
While cruising the Internet for tutorial inspiration I came across Big
Chill (http://bigchillfridge.com/site/) and what I thought was a very
cool set of retro style kitchen appliances. I decided that the fridge
would make a great tutorial so I dived right in and this tutorial is
the result. Although the real world fridge boasts a modern interior, it
has been simplified within the tutorial to keep with the overall retro
feeling. I have also taken additional artistic liberties as will be
seen if one compares the Big Chill product with what is created within
the tutorial.
I hope that you enjoy working your way through the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the fridge that is illustrated on the cover
of the tutorial. Aside from learning how to draw in TurboCAD, the user
will learn how to insert standard lighting and how to utilize render
scene luminance. The reader will learn how to establish a render scene

TurboCAD
Pro V17.2 - Spiral
Stairs
From the Introduction:
There is no denying that a set of metal spiral stairs is very cool.
What is almost as cool is the process to create the stairs in TurboCAD.
Although some calculations are required, the overall construction is
not
as complex as it might appear. Using the not so well known Transform
Recorder tools makes the job even easier.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the spiral stairs that are illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. The user will learn how to insert standard

Pro V17.2 - Timber
Frame Barn
From the Introduction:
A large user focus of any CAD software is ultimately the architectural
/ construction field. Whether a user is designing a cabin, a house, or
other unnamed structure a user must feel that they can depend fully on
the CAD software that they purchased – that it will meet
their needs in
a timely and hassle free manner. It is the author's belief that
TurboCAD can and will meet the needs of most builders without too much
trouble, once over the initial learning curve that is part of any CAD
software package.
Within this tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the timber frame barn that is illustrated on
the cover of the tutorial. The reader will learn how to create each
object by manipulating 2D profiles and 3D primitive shapes. The reader
will learn how to set up their drawing, how to insert standard lighting
and how utilize render scene luminance. The reader will learn how to
establish a render scene environment and the reader will learn how to
render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format.
Additionally the reader will be led through the steps to create a six
page paper space presentation.

TurboCAD
Pro V17.2 - Drawing
Template
Create
a Reusable Drawing Template
Including Title Block Creation
From
the Introduction:
One of the fundamental tenets of any CAD package is to never draw the
same thing twice. This is very sound advice and a user would be wise to
broaden this tenet to its fullest definition. This not only includes
using blocks and symbols while drawing but it includes devising ways to
approach the more mundane things such as repeating text and
establishing tool properties or styles. One way to address much of this
is to create a drawing template where many properties have been
pre-established and which includes at least one paper space page that
has a reusable title block.
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce a reusable TurboCAD template and the title block that is
illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. The reader will find much
discussion within the pages of this tutorial that will hopefully
provide good insight into choices that are made.

TurboCAD
Pro V17.2 - Speaker Cutaway
Using
an External Reference Parts
and Assembly Approach
Unlike
other Textual Creations TurboCAD tutorials, this tutorial makes use of
a design process more likely to be seen in programs such as Solid Works
and Alibre. That is, a parts and assembly approach, where all
parts are created in separate files and then assembled in one assembly
file. In TurboCAD, this process can be accomplished using external
references.
Although
using X-Refs in this tutorial
will be one of the major focuses, there are many additional processes
that will
be discussed that all TurboCAD users, no matter what approach they use,
will find
of great benefit.
Within
the tutorial the reader
will be led through each keystroke to produce all components of the
speaker that
is illustrated on the cover of the tutorial, with the exception of the
crossover which has been supplied. The reader will also learn how to
set up
their drawing and save it as a template. The user will learn how to
insert
standard lighting and how utilize render scene luminance. The reader
will learn
how to establish a render scene environment and the reader will learn
how to
render their drawing and save it in a high resolution image format. The
user
will learn how to create a cutaway view and the user will learn how to
use
paper space to create a single page paper presentation using inserted
viewports
and images.

TurboCAD
Pro V17.1 - Anatomy
of a
TurboCAD House
From the
Introduction:
I had been surfing the internet one day looking for tutorial
inspiration when I came across a house cutaway that I just loved. I
knew immediately that this was the route I wanted to go to showcase
many of the TurboCAD architecture tools that exist. I made contact via
email and asked if those behind the creation minded if I based my new
tutorial on their idea. Matt Jennings replied that he was pleased that
I liked his illustration and said that he was okay with basing the
tutorial on it. Thanks Matt!
I hope that you enjoy the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
More and more, architects, builders and interior designers are being
forced to compete in the industry by supplying top notch architectural
visuals in a timely and cost effective manner. Luckily, CAD software
designers such as IMSI/Design are aware of these needs and have stepped
up to the plate to create a package that addresses these needs - all
the while keeping in mind the budget conscious, ease of use and, of
course, quality of output.
TurboCAD Pro V17 (Platinum Edition) has kept up with the tradition of
introducing additional architectural features, this time most notably
with the addition of window muttons. Within this tutorial the new user
will be introduce to many of the new and existing architectural tools
and functions in a manner that should prove most enjoyable.

TurboCAD
Pro V17 - Window
Illustration
From the
Introduction:
There are times when a TurboCAD user will encounter projects that will
seriously tax the workings of their program if it is not approached
with some forethought. Throughout 2009 I had the opportunity to create
100+ graphic illustrations for a major player in the merchandiser door
business. These included fridges, freezers and deli cases
found
in grocery stores, pop coolers and vending machines found in every
imaginable place, as well as viewports found in walk-in cooler doors.
In the beginning I chose to create every extrusion in full detail since
I knew that I would need each object for a variety of reasons. After
about a half day of work I realized that I was going to be in trouble
if I didn't find a better approach to the job. I did find a better
approach and I will explain within the tutorial the processes I
discovered and used to accomplish this task in a more effective and
less stressful manner.
I hope that you will enjoy the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don

Pro V17 - Workplanes
Drafting table
is for illustration purposes only - it is not created during the
tutorial.
From the
Introduction:
One of the fundamental concepts in TurboCAD, when it comes to drawing
in 3D, is the use and understanding of workplanes. Most new users are
initially overwhelmed by this concept, but once the user puzzles out
what workplanes are all about they quickly realize that they weren't
that complex after all.
Each workplane tool, complete with a user-friendly explanation and
example will be illustrated within this tutorial and this will be done
by having the reader work through various examples keystroke by
keystroke. By the time the reader reaches the end of this tutorial any
confusion about workplanes should have lessened significantly.

TurboCAD
Pro V16.2 - Banker's
Lamp
From the
Introduction:
I
often
visit the galleries of other CAD and 3D modeling software to see what
its users are capable of producing. Quite often I marvel at what I see
and feel a bit dejected knowing full well that these things cannot be
produced in TurboCAD no matter how much I wish it were so. Other times
I smile and know without a double that TurboCAD can do much better, and
at a fraction of the cost. Just prior to writing this tutorial I came
across a compact fluorescent in the Rhino gallery and although I knew
that I could produce a better looking presentation I was unsure how
well TurboCAD would manage the upper spiral portion. The only way to
know for sure was to try and although it took me several tries to find
a reliable and repeatable process I was quite pleased with the end
result. Although the successful process will be the one used within the
tutorial, I nevertheless discuss the other methods that I tried while
researching the tutorial so that the reader is made aware that all
kinds of options are available to the TurboCAD user.
I hope that you find the tutorial enjoyable and beneficial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each keystroke to
produce all components of the compact fluorescent and the banker's lamp
that is illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. The reader will learn
how to create each object by manipulating 2D profiles and 3D primitive
shapes. The reader will lear how to set up their drawing, how to insert
standard lighting and how utilize render scene luminance. The reader

Water Tower
From the
Introduction:
A
water
tower tutorial was one of the very first tutorials that I penned back
in the days of TurboCAD 9.5. It was a very popular tutorial at the time
and requests have been received over the years to revive it. I have
obliged these requests by devising this new and improved water tower
tutorial. It is definitely not the same water tower tutorial that was
previously released. It is a totally new design that utilizes many of
the new processes that I have learned over the years and, of course, it
uses new tools here and there that were not present in the days of 9.5.
I think it is a great new tutorial and I hope that you will enjoy
following along.
Best regards,
Don

Pro V16.1 - Helical
Tri-Lobe Blower
From the
Introduction:
Mechanical
design and illustration is truly one of my favorite areas when it comes
to CAD and graphics works. It is an area that I never tire of
investigating and an area where I am always awed by the ingenuity of

Pro V16.1 - Product
Package & Poster
From the
Introduction:
Product
presentations are an excellent way to inform prospective clients or
customers about new or existing wares. Done right, they can draw the
viewer in and excite them in ways that plain text simply can't achieve.
The product poster does not have to say it all, but it has to say
enough to perk interest and inform the viewer where these wares can be
found.
Within the tutorial the reader will create a number of files which will
culminate in the creation of the poster illustrated on the cover of the
tutorial. Within the tutorial the reader will be led through each
keystroke to produce all components of the spark plug and product tin.
The reader will learn how to insert standard lighting and how utilize
render scene luminance. The reader will learn how to render their
drawing and save it in a high resolution image format. The reader will
also learn how to create the final poster within TurboCAD paper space.
Additionally, the reader will have the option to learn how to achieve
enhanced results using Photoshop, due to the ability to use drop
shadows and top notch text tools offered there.

TurboCAD
Pro 16.1 - Grommet Manufacture
(Preparing Drawings for Production)
From the
Introduction:
I
can
attest to the fact that TurboCAD Pro is a viable solution when it comes
to getting our designs to manufactures for production. Although most
manufactures do not use TurboCAD in their process they do use other
formats that TurboCAD can export to when electronic CAD files
(drawings) and/or 3D models are required. When file export will be
required a user must give careful consideration to the whole drawing
process to minimize translation issues.
Occasionally, some overseas manufactures require only product drawings
printed to PDF format. They simply build from the provided drawings or
recreate the drawings with their own software based on the supplied
data. The processes used for drawing in this case (and I am not talking
about precision here, but rather tool usage) are far less critical
since no consideration need be given to what text is used, whether or
not someone else's format will be able to view TurboCAD's viewports and
drafting palette objects correctly or whether the assembly needs to be
exploded down to its constituent parts.
While constructing the grommet illustrated on the cover of this
tutorial I will attempt to address some of the issues that I have come
upon while venturing into the world of manufacture. I have chosen the
grommet as it is a fairly simple construct that can be created in 3D
quite quickly, so that much time can be spent in paper space creating a
title block and the required drawings.
I would like to mention that I am not a formally trained draftsman. As
such, I am not familiar with standard drawing conventions so the layout
I use within the tutorial may not conform to industry standards. I can
state, however, that I have not had any complaints to date with any of
the drawing that I have supplied to the world of manufacture.
I hope that you enjoy the tutorial.
Best wishes,
Don Cheke

Pro 16 - Trade Show Booth
Image Wrapping Demystified
From the
Introduction:
I am very
pleased to present my first TurboCAD Pro tutorial for version 16.
TurboCAD Pro V16 - Trade Show Booth is based in a field that I have
spent considerable time with over the past few years. I have always
found creating the virtual booths, and many of the graphics that are
used within the real world booths, to be a most enjoyable activity.
Each booth provides much opportunity to hone my drawing skills and my
image wrapping techniques. Because image wrapping is a technique that
often overwhelms new users I thought that creating a booth would be the
perfect way to illustrate some of these techniques.
I hope that you will enjoy creating the trade show booth as much as I
did while planning and writing the tutorial.
Best regards,
Don
Within the tutorial the reader will be lead through each keystroke to
produce almost every component of the booth that is illustrated on the
cover of the tutorial. The table and chairs are provided by the author
and are inserted into the drawing in a manner that one might do if they
were getting parts from an associate or from an online vendor. The
reader will learn how to create the remainder of the components using
2D profiles and modified 3D primitive shapes. The reader will learn how
to insert standard lighting and how to utilize a render scene
environment. The reader will learn how to render their drawing and save
it in a high resolution image format. Additionally, the reader will
learn how to use Paper Space to create a pleasant single page
presentation.

Deluxe V21 - Caboose
From the
Introduction:
There is something romantic about the Caboose. It conjures up all kinds
of feeling about the past, about solitude and life on the rails. Many
folks have a fascination with railroading and the author is no
exception, so a tutorial to create such a thing seemed the perfect way
to introduce new users to TurboCAD.
An HO scale wide vision Caboose, purchased from the local hobby store,
will be used as the basis of the tutorial. The reader is not required
to purchase one, as the author will measure and provide the required
dimensions.
Within this comprehensive tutorial the reader will be led through each
keystroke to produce all components of the caboose and track that is
illustrated on the cover of the tutorial. The reader will learn how to
create each object by manipulating 2D profiles and 3D primitive shapes.
The reader will learn how to set up their drawing, how to insert
standard lighting and how utilize render scene luminance. The reader
will learn how to establish a render scene environment and the reader
will learn how to render their drawing and save it in a high resolution
image format.
