EM.CUBE's CUBECAD is a comprehensive 3-D parametric CAD modeler with the capability to import and export standard CAD formats (STEP, IGES, STL, VRML, OpenFlight, DEM, etc.). This allows for native construction of structures along with the ability to fly in external CAD models with ease.
A streamlined user interface puts all of CUBECAD features at your fingertips. With the click of buttons, build complex 3-D models in seconds using a large variety of intuitive mouse-based object creation and transformation tools. Visualize simulated, measured or imported 3D data and overlay them on your CAD structures.
