Although CAD software applications have mushroomed in recent times, many of these applications fail to serve the right purpose due to limited compatibility and few other reasons. ZWsoft.com recently launched two of its flagship CAD software products, namely ZWCAD+ and ZW3D All-In-One for facilitating cost-effective architectural designing. The developers representing ZWsoft.com have successfully addressed the incompatibility issues that impede the implementation of structural design applications across industries. Daniel Huang, Product Manager for the integrated CAD solution provider, pointed out that structural designers often fail to evaluate software applications from pragmatic perspectives. ZWsoft.com is a turnkey solution provider in the field of architectural designing. As a part of its commitment to its large and ongoing customer base, the software development company assessed the possible contributory factors that impede successful implementation and integration of software-based solutions across diverse industry segments. The DWG CAD software applications that the company recently launched bring to the table a whole

Trimble introduced today Trimble® MEPdesigner for SketchUp, a new platform extension to SketchUp Pro specifically designed to improve the productivity and ease of use in 3D computer-aided design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for contractors. The platform extension is designed to enable contractors to quickly and easily migrate from a 2D to a 3D work environment, through SketchUp Pro, a 3D modeling platform used around the world. The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions. Trimble MEPdesigner was created specifically for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) contractors who are looking for an easy-to-use and cost-efficient 3D CAD platform. Trimble MEPdesigner for SketchUp version 1.0 will initially support electrical systems objects including conduit, cable trays and device boxes, and continually expand to incorporate intelligent object data and other MEP systems specific to today's contractor's needs. The solution also features tools that allow contractors to easily create custom components and route conduit within the SketchUp Pro platform. MEP

C3D Labs is pleased to introduce three new design programs from customers of its С3D geometric modeling kernel. New releases from NTP Truboprovod and Center GeoS are benefiting from advanced visualization, higher accuracy, and faster construction speed, while LEDAS has unveiled new technology for comparing three-dimensional models. All of these programs are based on the C3D geometric kernel. PASSAT from NTP Truboprovod performs structural analysis of heat exchange vessels. The software company used the C3D kernel to improve the visualization of 3D models: Adds the ability to cut holes in elements easily Ensures accurate construction of coupling rings of pipe connectors, curvatures, flarings, and contact surfaces of flanges Exports models in ACIS, IGES, Parasolid, and STEP formats K3-Mebel 7.3 from Center GeoS is the newest version of a professional software suite for designing, manufacturing, and selling cabinet furniture. Its new features became possible because of C3D: Adds the geometric constraint solver from C3D Solver Visualizes the kinematics of different

Trimble announced financial results for the third quarter of 2014. Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights Third quarter 2014 revenue of $584.8 million was up 5 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2013. Engineering and Construction revenue was $342.3 million, up 10 percent, with growth across all major product categories. Field Solutions revenue was $88.8 million, down 11 percent due to weakness in sales of agriculture products, partially offset by an increase in Geographic Information System (GIS) sales. Mobile Solutions revenue was $121.2 million, up 7 percent due to double-digit growth in sales of transportation and logistics solutions. Advanced Devices revenue was $32.6 million, down 1 percent.
