Pros
The process of getting started was a positive experience. It accommodates various file formats in both 2D and 3D, with useful functions such as import and export. The user interface is easy to use and provides guidance on how to upload files. This platform is ideal for designing in 2D and 3D using the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Cons
The product is of good quality, however, it would be beneficial if there was a free version available that closely resembles the paid version for one-time use.

I have the very pricey Platinum edition which enables a number of features for a better 3D CAD experience.
This is an absolutely essential tool to be able to work with data from many different sources. TurboCAD's ability to import and export and convert between many data forms has saved the day so many times over.
This is not something you pick up and learn in a day. Or a week. Or a month. Even after years of using various versions of TurboCAD, I'm still learning new details of core functionality and behavior that have been there all along.
This is a serious tool that can generate precise and beautiful 2D drawings and 3D models. With proper setup, 3D rendering is beautiful.
The UI is sometimes not as fast and responsive as I might like -- you will want to invest in a fast PC with a high performance GPU to get better experiences.
Pros
This product is a "Swiss army knife" of features.
Performs all core 2D and 3D CAD tasks.
Great "bang for the buck"
Excellent drafting tools.
Very powerful once you know how to use it.
Cons
Very steep learning curve.
Very limited parametric/history modeling.
Mediocre UI/UX for naming objects - hard to use with complex assemblies.

I suffer everytime I use it, if you are familiar with other CAD systems, don't waste a cent on Turbocad
Pros
I live in Argentina and was the only low priced legal 2D CAD I could purchase with credit card, NanoCad (previous suscription) is only available with Paypal that I am not allowed to use.
Cons
User interface, the fact that you don't go to selection mode automatically when you end a command is the most annoying

Floorplan 2024, fast, easy, results

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.
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.
