 3D View Settings
 3D Primitives
 3D (Solid) Editing Operations
 3D Visualization

Realistic Visualization and Lighting
Render your 3D models with applied materials or texture maps or use transparency and fogging for added impact.
 Shadow Tool – smooth the edges of rendered shadows
 Procedural Textures – add marble, wood, cement, grain, patch, perlin noise, brick, cells or wood extended textures to your designs.
 Image Fills – Use an image as a fill pattern.

Layers
DesignCAD utilizes layers that can be independently switched on and off in order for users to have a better visibility of the drawing. For example, if one just needs to see the outline of the component, he or she can switch off other layers containing center lines, dimensions, etc.

DesignCAD can also lock layers, so that they are visible but not editable, in order to prevent accidental changes to the locked layer. Some features of objects, such as color or linestyle, can also be controlled on a per-layer basis, so for example, objects drawn in a particular layer can automatically have a certain color and/or linestyle applied. DesignCAD allows users to switch these by-layer settings on or off at will, or allow the settings to change automatically as they switch to and from layers with color or linestyle presets.

The Layer Options dialog box has been redesigned in DesignCAD v22 to maximize the amount of layer information displayed. You can resize the dialog box to show more layers and longer layer names, columns can be hidden, resized, or rearranged, and new capabilities have been added to Show Marked Layers, Hide Marked Layers, Lock Marked Layers, Unlock Marked Layers, Clear Marked Layer Colors, Clear Marked Layer Line styles, and Clear All Layer names.

DesignCAD also supports several image formats including .BMP, .TIF, .JPG, .TGA, .WMF, .PSD, .AWD, .EPS, .WPG, .TIF, .PCX, and .PNG

Extensible
Use the built-in BasicCAD scripting language, or OLE Automation, or both, to add new tools and enhancements to DesignCAD.

DesignCAD NEW FEATURES

New Print Section Command
This new command allows you to specify a rectangular subsection of the drawing to be printed. Once the region is selected, the Print command opens, and only considers the area you chose when calculating overall size, scale, and other print features.

Enhanced Print to PDF
Printing multiple panels to PDF format now results in just one multipage PDF file.

New Double Line to Vector Command
This new command converts the selected double-line object(s) to normal vectors using the currently-active line style and line width. Note: This command differs from the similar command Double Line to Wide Line, which converts the selected double lines to wide lines of the same width as the original double lines.

Larger, more versatile Layer Options dialog box
New Layer Options dialog box has been redesigned to maximize the amount of layer information displayed.
 Dialog box can be resized to show more layers and longer layer names
 Unwanted columns can be hidden by right-clicking on the column headers
 Right-clicking on the body of the layer list provides a context menu which exposes commands that were formerly presented as buttons
 New capabilities have been added to the Layer Options dialog box, including:
o Show Marked Layers
o Hide Marked Layers
o Lock Marked Layers
o Unlock Marked Layers
o Clear Marked Layer Colors
o Clear Marked Layer Line styles
o Clear All Layer names
 The Save as Default button now saves the layer names along with the layer presets

New Coordinate bar field width option
This option lets you specify the width (in pixels) of the coordinate bar’s numeric fields. This can be handy when you want to display more digits, are displaying coordinates in feet and fractional inches, or are using a large display font. The minimum value is 48 pixels, while the maximum will vary depending on the width of your display.

New Layers List additional width
This option lets you specify how much extra width (in pixels) to add to the layer drop list in the Info box and Layer Toolbox relative to the width of the collapsed layer control. Increasing this width allows you to see longer layer names.

Improved Hatch, Hatch Line, Hatch Fill
A new “Same As” button in the Hatch dialog box allows you to easily match the style of the hatch being drawn to an existing hatch entity.

Improved Import and Export
The “Missing Xref” warning dialog now offers options to skip some or all missing xrefs when importing dwg files. We’ve also improved the export of paperspace layouts to dwg format. In addition, DWG/DXF export now exports layer names longer than 32 characters.

Improved Fillet command
A new, more robust algorithm has been implemented for filleting one arc against another. This should result in less ambiguity when filleting arcs where multiple solutions are possible.

Improved Linear Dimensions
We have reduced the gap between the arrow “tail” and the dimension text when the text and arrows are forced outside the extension lines. We have also added a snap point to the left-side arrowhead to enable repositioning the dimension line using that arrowhead from Point Select Mode.

Improved Section Trim, Section Cutoff and Section Cut by Line
The Section Trim, Section Cutoff, and Section Cut by Line commands now also affect hatch objects; hatch entities were previously ignored by these commands.

New File Wizard command
New options have been added to Ignore Shading Flags and Ignore View Data, just like they were already present in the Open dialog.

Improved Set View and Set View by Drawing Center Command
Several new controls have been added to make it easy to save, load and delete “cameras” with preset viewing angles.

Improved Repeat Last Command (F3) and Undo Command
DesignCAD now longer records the various Zoom commands in the F3 and Undo command buffers. This makes it easier to repeat drawing commands even if a zoom in or out was necessary to see more details. All Zoom commands can still be undone separately using Zoom Previous.

Improved Sweep Command
Previously, the original profile used to generate the sweep was left separate from the swept object, with the assumption that you might want to re-use it for some other purpose. Now, the profile becomes part of the swept solid. A new option has been added to retain a copy of the profile if you want to use that profile again.

Enhancements to many commands using “Selected only” checkboxes
The last state of several “Selected entities only” checkbox is now remembered, so the next time you run that command with something selected, the checkbox is checked or not depending on your last choice when something was selected. If nothing is selected, the setting is ignored.

Additional Enhancements
 Improved Hidden Line – New option to change the dash scale for hidden lines in hidden line mode.
 Improved Shading Command – Slight improvements to the anti-aliasing algorithm when using native Phong or Gouraud shading.
 Improved Load Animation Template – New delete button allows you to delete an existing animation template from the drawing.
 Improved Arrow and Dimension commands – New algorithm for drawing arrows with a line width results in an arrowhead that points where it should and ends in a sharp point.
 Improved Dimension Arc – Improved appearance of the extension lines.
 Improved Surface Intersection command – Previously this command only worked on grid objects. Now it also works on solids, including planes.
 Plus, corrections have been made to bugs found in DWG/DXF export, animation export to AVI, fillet command, rotate command, view settings, coordinate bar, print preview, and gradient hatches.

The History of ARIZ Development
by G. S. Altshuller
Petrozavodsk, Russia

The following article has been condensed from information presented at the seminar “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving” held at the School of Management, Simferopol, Ukraine, 1986.

WHY WE NEED THIS SESSION

• ARIZ looks like a complicated subject. This session will demonstrate the logical way new ARIZ elements are introduced

• ARIZ is evolving quickly. It is important to understand the systematic way in which it has evolved

• ARIZ represents a mechanism of systemic thinking. Analyzing its evolution helps develop various algorithms for solving problems in non-technical areas (science, the arts, etc.).

The notion that technological systems evolve according to certain patterns that can be understood and purposefully used to solve problems emerged in 1946. Since 1948, the work in this area has become vitally important.

Initially, the intention was to build a method for inventing as a set of rules such as: “Solving a problem means finding and resolving a technical contradiction,” or “For any given solution, the less material, energy, space and time used, the more powerful it is.” This method was intended to include typical innovation principles such as segmentation, integration, inversion, changing the aggregate state, replacing a mechanical system with a chemical system, etc. These rules and principles were to be (and are) based on research and information compiled about the inventive activities of famous inventors, by interviewing known inventors, the analysis of personal inventive practices, and other available technical information including the history of technology.

A PRE-PROGRAM ACHIEVEMENT

• · ARIZ-56

ARIZ-56 is a set of steps for problem solving rather than an algorithm or program (in the way that a Table of Contents is not yet a book). It was influenced by the practices of the best inventors of the past; the analysis of patents was not yet a main tool for ARIZ development. The operational part of ARIZ-56 recalls Synectics because of its reliance on analogic thinking (primarily in its use of natural prototypes). Journal: Questions of Psychology, 1955, #6.

• · Strengths of ARIZ-56

– It was precisely stated that solving a problem means revealing and resolving a technical contradiction

– It incorporated the concept of reaching beyond the boundaries of the immediate subject.

An example of the practical implementation of ARIZ-56 is the solution of the problem of developing a thermal protection suit.

In the mid-1950s, a strong understanding had grown that all inventors, even the most successful ones, work extremely ineffectively. They used trial-and-error methods and it was therefore senseless to attempt to uncover and put to use the “secrets of creativity.” What did make sense was to build a completely new technology based on the objective patterns of technological evolution, which could be revealed through a systematic analysis of the extensive bulk of patent information.

THE SYNTHESIS OF A PROGRAM FOR PROBLEM SOLVING BEGINS

• · ARIZ-59

ARIZ-59 represents the beginning of a long journey toward a structured algorithm supported by a set of tools for sequential use (operators, knowledge base units, etc.). The first steps, a chain of operations, appears. As of yet there is no system – the steps can be interchanged. “Natural prototypes” are moved to the end of the operational portion of ARIZ. A new and important step is introduced: identification of the Ultimate Final Result (Solution). Journal: Inventor and Innovator, 1959, #10.

ARIZ-59 resulted from a number of seminars conducted in the construction industry of Azerbaijan. Examples of practical implementation: electro-thermal jack, spiral binding for clamps (J. A. Ismailov), and a grape espalier without poles.

By the end of the 1950s it became obvious that a “method of inventing” must include, besides ARIZ, the patterns of technological evolution and the constantly growing knowledge base. In fact, what was originally intended, as a “method of inventing” would be more appropriately termed a science of invention. There was strong resistance – those opposed to the notion of a science of invention had become accustomed to the existence of a “method of inventing.” After all, it merely amounted to a set of useful recommendations based on analysis of the experience of inventors. A science of invention, however, threatened more than a few “sacred cows.” It denied the uniqueness of history’s great inventors and intruded upon the common perception of the incomprehensible nature of the creative process. While “method of inventing” helped in terms of gaining insight to inventive thinking, a “science of invention” in effect cancelled the old notions, including that of creativity as an innate capability. This, in other words, was nothing less than pure heresy . . .

• · ARIZ-61

ARIZ-61 was an improved version of ARIZ-59, based on a set of seminars conducted in cities other than Baku in Donetsk, Tambov, Ryazan. The operational part of ARIZ-61 is extended but the rules for fulfilling the recommendations of each step are still missing, as well as the special steps later incorporated for controlling psychological inertia. (G. S. Altshuller, “How to learn how to invent”. Tambov Book Publishing House, 1961).

Examples of practical implementation are problems related to a mine pile (Donetsk) and the sequential transport of oil products (Stavropol).

CLARIFICATION OF THE PROGRAM

• · ARIZ-64

ARIZ-64 introduces the section on “Clarifying and verifying the problem statement.” This is a significant change and one that indicates a new direction in ARIZ development – as that of a tool for obtaining powerful solutions to difficult problems. The rules for fulfilling the recommendations have been introduced (step 2.1). The first table of Innovation Principles has been developed. (G. S. Altshuller. “Basics of the Method of Inventing,” Voroneg, Central Chernosem Publishing House, 1964).

Example of practical implementation: Washing windows in a manufacturing plant.

• · ARIZ-65

In ARIZ-65 the first limited contradiction table is introduced. The operational portion still contains the analysis of natural prototypes. The word “algorithm” has been introduced as an indication of the long-term objective for the development of ARIZ. (G. S. Altshuller. “Attention, an Algorithm of Invention.” economics newspaper, September 1, 1965).

A pattern:

If certain steps in the evolution of TRIZ are identified as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, etc. and currently TRIZ is, for example, on step E, TRIZ allows us to see steps F, G, and H, for example. In contrast, the opponents have so far accepted steps A, B, and C. They are doubtful but silent about steps D and E, and are aggressively arguing against F and G. Then TRIZ moves to step F, after which the opponents accept step D, do not want to talk about E and F, and argue against G, which (to others) is utterly obvious as the step that follows F, and so on . . .

When we spoke of a “method of inventing,” rivals were insistent that we refer to nothing more than a collection of useful recommendations, considering an algorithmic approach absolutely out of the question. When TRIZ emerged, they accepted the notion of an “algorithm” and transferred their resistance and aversion to TRIZ, TRTS (Theory of Evolution of Technological Systems) and OTSM (General Theory of Powerful Thinking) . . .

• · ARIZ-68

The first chapter of ARIZ-68 is divided into two parts: Selection of the problem and clarification of the problem statement. Special steps for handling psychological inertia are introduced. The knowledge base is significantly extended and structured: systematic analysis of patents has revealed 35 Innovation Principles and the next version of the Contradiction Table. Paleo-bionics has been introduced instead of natural prototypes. (G. S. Altshuller. “Algorithm of Invention,” 1st edition, Moscow Worker, 1969).

Example of practical implementation: Icebreaker problem.

Until 1968, enhancements to ARIZ were based on the analysis of patent information. Seminars were conducted from time to time; I was the only individual teaching TRIZ. After 1968 the situation was different. In anticipation of the mass utilization of TRIZ, the preparation of teachers and modification of ARIZ for a general audience became necessary.

During the next three years – from 1968 to 1971 – TRIZ seminars were organized in the following cities (all within the former Soviet Union): Sverdlovsk, Kaunas, Moscow, Dzintary, Dushanbe, Baku, and Gomel. A comprehensive course in TRIZ was completed in the inventive schools for youth in Baku. Selected portions of ARIZ were tested via surveys. Altogether, more than 5,000 records related to 150 problems were available and provided for the transition to the next version: ARIZ-71.

THE PROGRAM BECOMES ALGORITHMIC

• · ARIZ-71

With ARIZ-71 the program becomes more rigorous. In the process of analysis, the operational zone and its contradictory requirements have been identified (a prototype to the later physical contradiction). A psychological operator for modifying Dimensions, Time and Cost (DMC) has been introduced. The Contradiction Table has been brought to completion and additional Innovation Principles have been identified (up to 40 and, later, to 50). (G. S. Altshuller. “Algorithm of Invention,” 2nd edition, Moscow Worker, 1973).

Recommendations, notes and examples of use have been added. The main operations are integrated into a system and the links between steps are more rigid. A new section for evaluating ideas that have been found has been introduced.

• · ARIZ-75

On one hand, ARIZ-75 is a logical continuation of ARIZ-71: more precise recommendations for each of the steps and stricter requirements for completing them. Continued analysis has revealed the existence of physical contradictions.

On the other hand, ARIZ-75 is the first modification built like TRIZ and is intended to work together with the Patterns of Technological Evolution, substance-field transformations and the compiled guides of effects. G. S. Altshuller. “Analysis of Invention Case Studies.” Collection of articles entitled “The Theory and Practice of Inventive Problem Solving”. Gorkiy, 1976.

• · ARIZ-77

ARIZ-77 is a logical completion of the line that began with ARIZ-71: an algorithmic type of program has been constructed. Again the rigorousness of the program is significantly improved. The text includes multiple rules, notes and examples. A prototype of the physical contradiction on a micro-level (Micro-PhC) is introduced (Step 4.1). Analysis of the solution process has been included as well. Bridging of the steps and the knowledge base (substance-field transformations and effects) has begun. The Contradiction Table remains as an auxiliary unit. (G. S. Altshuller. “Creativity as an Exact Science.” Soviet Radio, Moscow, 1979.).

The 1970s represent a stormy time in the evolution of TRIZ. Dozens of TRIZ schools, courses, seminars, etc. are teaching TRIZ, various mistakes and information helpful for fixing them are quickly being revealed. All TRIZ subjects are in existence: the algorithm, standard solutions, substance-field analysis, knowledge about the Patterns of Technological Evolution and innovation guides. Methods of teaching TRIZ improve.

On the cusp between the 1970s and 1980s, new information necessary to provide for the next step from TRIZ to TRTS (Theory of the Evolution of Technological Systems) started to accumulate within TRIZ. After 1982 educational programs change, with the main objective is preparation to teach TRTS and, further, to teach OTSM (General Theory of Powerful Thinking), that is, to the theory of solving problems in any area.

Beginning with ARIZ-82, a paradoxical process of specialization/ generalization begins. In technology, ARIZ is targeted specifically toward the solving of difficult non-typical problems and the development of new standard solutions. At the same time, ARIZ gains some universal features as it is applied toward the solving of scientific problems, problems in the arts, etc.

• · ARIZ-82 (modifications A, B, C and D) and ARIZ-85A

Information on educational and practical applications of the algorithm quickly accumulates. Other TRIZ tools and applications improve as well, contributing toward the further enhancement of ARIZ.

A new trend is in action: all recommendations and notes made by a teacher must be incorporated into the algorithm. All chapters of ARIZ (with the exception of the first) are improved, especially the operators having to do with transitioning from a physical contradiction to methods for eliminating it. A unit for analyzing the problem model has been introduced. A definition of “micro-physical contradictions” and the second (refined) Ideal Ultimate Result (IUR-2) have been introduced as well. (For ARIZ-82 see “Technology and Science,” 1983, #2-4, 6. For ARIZ-85A see G. S. Altshuller, B. Zlotin, V. Philatov. “Profession – the Search for New Ideas.” Kartya Moldovenyaska Publishing House, Kishinev, 1985).

• · ARIZ-85B and C

Significant changes in structure are introduced, including the second line of operations and the analysis of substance-field resources. The former first chapter is no longer part of the algorithm as it is not rigorous enough compared to the other chapters. The orientation towards ideality strongly increases as a void (empty space) is recognized as the most effective resource.

The link between the algorithm, the system of standard solutions, and the patterns of technological evolution becomes stronger. The second half of the algorithm – that devoted to the development and utilization of ideas that have been found – is improved as well. (G.S. Altshuller, “ARIZ-85B and ARIZ-85C,” Dnepropetrovsk, 1984, 1985: pre-prints made for the seminars conducted at continuous education courses held by the Ministry of Iron Metallurgy, Ukraine.)

WHAT WILL THE NEXT STEPS IN ARIZ DEVELOPMENT BE?

The following main directions can be highlighted:

1. The tradition of increased rigorousness in the evolution of ARIZ continues due to more thorough and increased utilization of the Patterns of Technological Evolution.
2. Significant strengthening of the bridge between physical contradictions and the methods for resolving them.
3. Extension of the knowledge base and strengthening of the bridge between ARIZ and the standard solutions.
4. Separation of the second portion of ARIZ (the development and utilization of ideas) into a separate algorithm
5. Development of a new first chapter (or a separate algorithm) for revealing new problems to be solved.
6. Strengthening of the philosophical function of ARIZ as a tool for developing the skills for powerful thinking.
7. Continual increase of universalization (i.e., encompassing more types of problems other than technical).

Murat Mayor : ABD Konut Piyasası Deneyiminden Türkiye Nasıl Yararlanabilir?

ABD Konut Piyasası Deneyiminden Türkiye Nasıl Yararlanabilir?

Dr. Murat Mayor / Mart 2008, Washington DC

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri konut pazarlarında faaliyet gösteren büyük ölçekli inşaat firmalarının 5 senelik stratejik iş planlarını yaparken kullandığımız analizler piyasadaki gelişmelerin hem ABD hemde global ekonomilere etkilerini ortaya koymaktadır.

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde ekonomistler ülke çapında gelecek tahminlerini belli coğrafi ve demografik bölgelerden aldıkları verilere dayandırırlar. Bu örnek bölgeler ekomisi geleneksel olarak canlı bölgeler ve gelişmekte olan bölgeler olmak üzere iki gruptan seçilir. Canlı ve gelişmekte olan bölgelerin en tipik örnekleri Washington DC bölgesi ve Arizona’dır.

Ekonomik anlamda Washington DC bölgesi District of Columbia, Maryland (Baltimore dahil) ve Kuzey Virginia’dan oluşur. Arizona eyaletinde ise esas olarak Phoenix şehrinin 50 millik yarıçapının belirlediği alan kriter olarak alınır. Bu iki örnek bölge genellikle ABD ekonomisinin gidişini önceden gösteren bölgesel ekonomiler olarak değerlendirilir.

Washington DC bölgesini incelediğmizde pazarda stoklanmış konut sayısının (inventory) Haziran 2006 itibarı ile olağan üstü artmaya başladığı ve satışların önemli oranda düştüğü görülüyor. Ağustos 2007’den beri FED’in (ABD Merkez Bankası) faiz (prime rate) indiriminin satışları beklenen seviyede arttırmadığı ve stokları eritmediği görülüyor.

Piyasada mevcut konut sayısının çoğalması ve satışların düşmesi nedeni ile fiyatlar gerilerken Agustos 2007 den itibaren fiyat düşüşü önemli ölçüde ivme arttırmıştır (Tablo 1). Resimdeki tabloda özetlenen analizimize göre fiyatlar 2005 başındaki değerlere gerilemiştir.

Washington DC bölgesindeki ekonomik canlılık, hükümet ve buna bağlı işlerin fazlalığı konut pazarındaki krizi bir ölçüde hafifletmektedir. Phonix, Arizona’da tesbit ettiğmiz sorun daha derindir. Mortgage krizi nedeni ile evlerini satışa çıkaranlar piyasadaki konut stoğunu hızla arttırmaktadır. Ucuzladığı halde satılamayan bu konutlar inşaat firmalarının yeni ev satış şansını önemli ölçüde düşürmektedir. Buna ilave olarak Arizona’da demografi de hızla değişmekte, Güney Amerika kökenli (Hispanic) nüfus ve 55 yaş üstü nüfus hızla artmaktadır. Güney Amerika kökenli nüfus bazı alan kodlarında (örneğin Arizona’da 85043 alan kodunda) %75’e kadar çıkmaktadır. Washington Post gazetesinde bu ay yayınladığımız makalede açıkladığımız gibi, analizlerimizde ABD genelinde alan kodlarının çoğunda 55 yaş üstü en hızlı büyüyen demografik segment olarak tesbit edilmiştir. Bu gelişme klasik konut sektörü için yüzeyde olumsuz görünsede danışmanlığını yaptığımız firmaları yaş sınırlamalı (55 yaş üstü – ‘Active Adult’) mahalleleri kurmaya yönlendirerek krizin etkilerinden korumuş bulunuyoruz. Bu kesim emekli olma yaşına gelen, gelirleri ve yatırımları ortalamanın üzerrinde olan ‘Baby Boomer’ segmentinden oluşmaktadır.

Konut inşaatı şirketlerine tavsiyemiz pazara girmeden önce hedef kitlelerinin yaş, kredi (mortgage) ödeme gücü ve yaşam tarzı tercihlerine göre joğrafi yoğunluklarını analiz etmeleridir. Bu amaçla geliştirdiğimiz analiz yöntemini kullanarak Arizona’da faaliıyet gösteren bir firmaya arazi alımları için yer tavsiyelerimiz aşağıda örneklenmektedir. Bu örnekte 25-44 yaş grubu, 50.000-100.000 dolar geliri olan ve müstakil ev almak isteyen insanların yoğunlukları harita üzerinde belirlenmiştir. Firmanın önceden aldığı bazı arazilerde satış yapamadığı ve bu arazilerin haritada düşük potansiyel gösteren beyaz alanlarla çakıştığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu analiz üzerine firma sorunlu arazileri (satış potansiyeli göremediğimiz parseller) elden çıkarma kararı alıp yeni işlerini koyu kırmızı ile belirlediğimiz yüksek potansiyelli alanlara kaydırmış, ve olumlu sonuçlar almaya başlamıştır.

Resimde ‘İnşaat pazarı potansiyeli’ analiz örneği verilmektedir. Potansiyel müşterilerin yoğunlukları belirlenmektedir. Bu örnekteki inşaat şirketinin müşterişleri ortalama 11 yilda bir 8 mil taşınıyor.

Washington DC ve Arizona örneklerinden çıkardığımız sonuç; konut stoğunun normal dışı ivme ile arttığı, faiz oranı indiriminin yeterince etkili olmadığı, pazara doğru yerde ve değişen demografik yapıya uygun konut sunulmadığı için sorunun derinleşerek devam ettiğidir.

İki örnek bölgede ele aldığımız durum ABD çapında ve İngiltere başta olmak üzere batı Avrupa’da da gözlemlenmektedir. Özellkle 2002 den sonra gevşeyen kredi standartları ihtiyaçdan büyük ve pahalı evlerin satışını özendirmişdi. Bu şekilde yaratılan talep fiyatları arttırdığı için inşaat sektörü de talebe daha pahalı ve büyük evler yaparak karşılık vermişti. Bu döngü kredi ekonomisinin yerleşmiş olduğu ABD ve batı Avrupa ülkelerinde kırılma noktasına ulaştı. Çin ve Avusturalya’da ise halen fiyatlar tırmanışa devam etmektedir. Türkiye açısından ABD deneyiminden çıkarılabilecek sonuç; yeni gelişen konut kredi sisteminin benzer şekilde çökmemesi için kredi/gelir orantısın dikkatle ele alınması, kredi standartlarının gevşetilmemesi ve doğru yerlerde doğru nitelikte (ihtiyaç olan bölgelerde ve ihtiyaca uygun nitelkte) konut yapılması için demografik analizlerin ihmal edilmemesidir. Bu analizleri yapabilmek için Türkiye’de konut kredi sisteminin yeni yeni tanınmakta olduğu zamanımızdan itibaren istatistik verilerin sistematik olarak kayıt edilmesi ve düzenli olarak yayınlanması son derece önemlidir. ABD ve Avrupa’da ortaya çıkan kredi krizinin Türkiye’deki kısa vade etkileri özellikle Ege ve Akdeniz sahil şeridinde yabancılara ait mülklerlerin el değiştirmesi şeklinde ortaya çıkabilir. Esas konutlarında kredi sorunu yaşayan yabancılar büyük olasılıkla Türkiye’deki tatil konutlarını elden çıkararak kredi problemlerini çözümlemeye çalışacaktır.

DesignCAD by MAYOR GROUP, mayorgroup.com

Easy to Use 2D Drafting & Design

Intuitive yet sophisticated editing tools, advanced geometric construction capabilities, drawing short cut keys and complete layer management make 2D drafting a breeze.

• Usability Tools
• Workspace Tools
• Macros
• Image Tools
• Drawing Tools
• Editing and Measuring
• Dimension Tools
• Groups, Blocks, Symbols and more

Precision 3D Modeling

Access a full range of powerful 3D modeling primitives, including box, sphere, hemisphere, pyramid, cylinder, cone and torus. Utilize Boolean operations, including solid add, solid subtract, and slice, to shape your 3D parts. Add materials to your model to create presentation ready designs.

• 3D View Settings
• 3D Primitives
• 3D (Solid) Editing Operations
• 3D Visualization

Realistic Visualization and Lighting

Render your 3D models with applied materials or texture maps or use transparency and fogging for added impact.

• Shadow Tool – smooth the edges of rendered shadows
• Procedural Textures – add marble, wood, cement, grain, patch, perlin noise, brick, cells or wood extended textures to your designs.
• Image Fills – Use an image as a fill pattern.

Layers

DesignCAD utilizes layers that can be independently switched on and off in order for users to have a better visibility of the drawing. For example, if one just needs to see the outline of the component, he or she can switch off other layers containing center lines, dimensions, etc.  

DesignCAD can also lock layers, so that they are visible but not editable, in order to prevent accidental changes to the locked layer. Some features of objects, such as color or linestyle, can also be controlled on a per-layer basis, so for example objects drawn in a particular layer can automatically have a certain color and/or linestyle applied. DesignCAD allows users to switch these by-layer settings on or off at will, or allow the settings to change automatically as they switch to and from layers with color or linestyle presets.

Symbols and 3D Images

Choose from more than 10,000 2D/3D symbols to quickly drag and drop into your design. Plus, get access to millions of additional mechanical and architectural symbols with a free 3-month subscription to CADSymbols.com!

Animation & Walkthroughs

Create stunning animated presentations with a moving view of your 3D model.

Drawing Compare

Select two DesignCAD drawings or .BMP images, and Drawing Compare will perform a visual comparison of the two.

There are options to switch from one to the other, to show only the differences, or to have the differences blink, quickly highlighting where changes have been made. Zoom In or select to Zoom to Differences to quickly spot any updates.

The drawing comparison is an invaluable aid when working collaboratively on a project, or when picking up an older project and looking to see the status of updates. Use it to compare a design and an As Built drawing to see where changes have been implemented.

Added Flexibility when Sharing Your Work

• User Notes – Add notes to any drawing
• Save for Sharing – When you save a drawing, all files referenced externally (textures, symbols, images) are saved to a subfolder with the host drawing’s name.
• Paper Space Mode – Create a view frame and choose a specific scale or enter a custom view frame scale.
• Print Scale Options – Select from a standard set of print scale options or create your own.

AutoCAD® DWG/DXF Compatible

Read and write AutoCAD® files through 2011 and enjoy excellent compatibility with AutoCAD® layouts and PaperSpace, plus support for AutoCAD® layers, linestyles, views, and blocks in both DXF and DWG file formats.

DesignCAD imports DWG, DXF, WMF, HPGL and XYZ files and exports to DWG, DXF, WMF, HPGL, RIB, VRML, WPG and PDF.

DesignCAD also supports several image formats including .BMP, .TIF, .JPG, .TGA, .WMF, .PSD, .AWD, .EPS, .WPG, .TIF, .PCX, and .PNG

Extensible

Use the built-in BasicCAD scripting language, or OLE Automation, or both, to add new tools and enhancements to DesignCAD.
