Short: CYCAS Demo: Architecture Design 2+3D, FPU Author: Wolfgang Weidner Uploader: cycas core de, Verlag Anja C Frese Type: gfx/misc Version: 1.78 Requires: OS 3.0/3.1, 2MB, ECS/AGA/graphicsboard, 68020/881, 68040/60 Architecture: m68k-amigaos CYCAS is a 2D + 3D CAD/Architecture program for Amiga Computer. CYCAS was developed for all those people who want to design, represent, showcase and build architecture. Cycas adheres to the philosophy of simulating architectural drawing using a conventional drawing board as closely as possible, so that the draftsman is not faced with working methods that are untypical of his trade. ____ New features in CYCAS 1.78: - 3-times faster display of patterns/hatches. - New pattern designed with points. - New function "Last" in the selection menu. - RPL (Real3D) -Export. - Material database for output as RPL and LWO. - Enhanced preview for 3D elements. - New DXF options: - 3D export - 3D export to Reflections - New env.-variable CYSCALE for a correction factor for the output to printer. - New dimension symbol: arrows. - Optimizing for 68040/060 processors. - Bugfixes - English translation - Localized - New mesaurements: feet / inches ____ Features User interface: - Easy to handle - Online Help - WYSIWYG - Dialog windows - Layer technique Elements: - Symbols` library - Lines, circles, texts, patterns, walls, openings, windows, doors and - Calculation of areas and volumina. - Semi-automatic and manual measurement. - Architectural elements such as 3D, units and - 3D basics. 3D: - Intuitive input in the ground plan, elevation and in isometric views. - Computing graphics such as hidden line or wire graphics from various perspective or isometric views. - Material database for the output of 3D data to Renderer. Import: - DXF 2D/3D Export: - DXF 2D/3D - LWO (Lightwave) - RPL (Real3D) - EPS-Postscript Output: - Workbench-Printer - HPGL ____ Limitations of the demo version: Saving drawing elements is not possible. Output of drawings only to printer. The output of 3D elements in Lightwave object format is limited. ____ System requirements: Software: Kickstart 3.0, 3.1 Workbench 3.0, 3.1 Minimum: 68020, 2MB RAM, HD Recommended: 68030/68882 or 68040/60, 6MB RAM and more HD and graficsboard. __________________________________________________________ Verlag Anja C.
