The product is generally OK for architectural drawing. When it works. > > **Cons**: 1. When a tried to use the draw a parallel line, it only worked about 50% of the time. This was enormously frustrating. 2. On May 2, I experienced a sudden massive failure of Turbocad 2023 resulting in the loss of most of my drawings. This has never happened before. This represents a significant financial loss to me as it will require me to undertake significant redrawing. > > My faith in Turbocad not losing drawings has been shaken to the core and I am not sure it is now reliable. ----- ### "Floorplan 2024, fast, easy, results" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *3 November 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fastest way to produce a floorplan and place furniture and electrical outlets to visual how a home will look. It has ALL the features needed to produce a floor plan for a construction company to use and implement. Much of the grunt work is handled automatically with wall widths, ceiling heights, electrical drops, framing, roofing, windows, and doors. They provide a wealth of content packs that come with ready to use furniture and materials. Also provide a Custom Workshop tool where you can adjust any of the existing furniture/objects and come up with your own specific furniture which can be added to user libraries. Lighting works very well with the LuxCore render engine and you can use emissive lighting or actual lighting. All is PBR based so light reflects as it should on object surfaces. Support was excellent from both forums administrator and support team at TurboCad. > > **Cons**: Very important to read the manuals and go thru training tutorials to fully understand how to produce some amazing final renders of homes. Rendering time can be slow, even on fast CPUs. Download servers are very slow. > > I’m new to working with floor plan design software but have experience with 3DSMax and Cinema 4D. I found Floorplan 2024 to be much easier to use for home design and layout than other tools. I started with just some basic measurements of the home we’re moving into and managed to build a complete floor plan in just a few hours. There are some key areas to read in the manual that will help, but for the most part it’s relatively easy to watch there tutorial videos and get up and running quickly. The more I used FloorPlan 2024 the more I realized the design decisions of the software and why their approach is very efficient with enough flexibility to provide stunning 3D homes. ----- ### "Frustrated novice business user." — 2.0/5 > **Michael** | *1 November 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s inexpensive. I tried to move to Rhino but learning curve is too steep. Low cost alternative to other expensive tire frame cad programs > > **Cons**: Their support is non existent. No phone support. only email., which takes hours to hear back. Their sales team is easy to talk to, but they can or won’t help with issues other than sales > > Decade long user. Not high level, I find it difficult to use the advanced features. Project go unfinished or delayed because of slow functionality and I’ve give up trying to functional help. ----- ### "TurboCAD Special Thanks" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *12 September 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy to use interface, converting to DWG and Back to TCW - Choose your workspace style - win2000, winXP, CAD Course, AutoCAD, etc. - Easily convert 2d to 3d - Always up to date with Windows updates - Technical support (online) - Affordability - Easily import PDF files > > **Cons**: - Wish technical support was more one on one over the phone - Automated phone support > > Our company has been designing and building custom homes now for 22 years. We consider TurboCAD the go to program that allows us to design all the important aspects and features our clients need in their custom homes. Very easy to make adjustments and its user friendly tool interface is easy to operate. We have recently upgraded to the 2024 Platinum addition of TurboCAD, thanks to Syed(CEO), we will be using it for years to come. ----- ### "Nondeterministic software." — 2.0/5 > **Peter** | *25 September 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features and capabilities. Lots of both. Free trial. This allows potential users to determine whether or not to use the tool. > > **Cons**: The features are on a tiered model. Some of the features that would be most useful for me are in the higher tiers while I won't use many of the lower tier features. TurboCAD changed the properties of my objects randomly. This caused confusion and issues. This glitch is why I decided to not purchase the software. Support is slow. The best turnaround time I saw was one business day. > > I got a trial license, downloaded the software and started to use it. While not intuitive, the interface was easy to use at a basic level. I encountered an issue late in the trial and contacted support to help me resolve it. While they came up with a solution to the problem, the trial license had expired. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/167524/turbocad-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/167524/turbocad-professional) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
