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. ----- ### "TurboCad? Is it right for you?" — 1.0/5 > **Frank** | *9 May 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use is great once you get used to the odd behavior. You really have to get into the programs inner workings to keep it from crashing. > > **Cons**: I do not like their support team whatsoever. If you purchase a version they will only let you use it for so long a period of time. I purchased a new computer here in 2026. I have TurboCad 2022. My original key expired. I contacted them for a new key. They don't support 2022 anymore so you have to buy another new TurboCad Platinum by the way for 2026. Once you purchase something it seems you should be able to use it as long as your system can support it. Not the case here. Subscriptions are expensive. Not much in the way of alternatives. So if you purchase like I did be prepared to purchase every few years. > > Worst support team I have ever run into. They take their time getting back to you if they do. In my situation their answer was to just purchase another license. ----- ### "Highly disappointed" — 4.0/5 > **Lonnie** | *15 May 2026* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used this program for many years now. It operated much like Auto Cad and I liked that. I upgraded every two to three years to keep current. This last upgrade to 2024 worked fine for about 1 year. > > **Cons**: Now I can't even get it to launch. I have been trying to get help from IMSI on this matter foe 4 months but only get excuses. I had intended to upgrade to a 3D modeling version but found a better alternative, so I am writing off IMSI. It's a great program when it works but don't expect help of any kind if you have a problem. Like any of my tools, if it doesn't work it's of no use to me. > > Overall, it has been good, as long as the program worked. Now I am disappointed to the point I am going to dump them all together. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/167524/turbocad-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
