An extensible 3D CAD modelling app.

NaroCAD - a powerful utility built specifically to assist designers in crafting their 3D CAD models with ease. Boasting an array of options and tools at your disposal, the setup process is quick and effortless, without any unpleasant surprises.

An easy-to-navigate and familiar user interface

The interface is designed with a minimalistic and well-organized layout, comprising a quick access toolbar, a tabbed ribbon, several buttons, and a few panes, allowing you to effortlessly view various information and your ongoing project.

But that's not all - Extensive help contents are available, so you can seamlessly learn how to master NaroCAD, regardless of your previous experience. Supporting file extensions such as BREP, STEP, and NAROXML, you can import files with ease, while export options are available only in STEP and NAROXML formats.

A lovely structured tree view

The folder structure of all the items added to the project, along with layers and grid properties, can be easily accessed via a tree view. These properties are customizable, allowing you to adjust width, length, name, transparency levels, and colors, among others.

If that isn't enough, a vast selection of elements can be added to your projects - from points, rectangles, lines, and circles, to cones, boxes, spheres, and pipes. You can rotate, revolve, and apply a Boolean fuse to solids, mirror points, and even measure the distance between two points.

Multiple viewpoints

The possibilities are endless with NaroCAD - dynamic zooming and panning, multiple constraints to shapes, a selection of provided types of views, and the ability to reset all options with just one click of a button.

As if that weren't impressive enough, a command console is also incorporated, enabling you to write and execute code using the Boo language.

Acceptable usage of system resources

NaroCAD's system performance is top-notch, not requiring a significant amount of system resources. Response time is rapid, and we experienced no issues, such as errors, crashes, or hangs.

To sum it up

In conclusion, NaroCAD is a powerful and useful software when it comes to creating 3D CAD models, bundled with an array of options and boasting an intuitive interface, making it a must-have tool for designers of all levels.
