The table below provides an overview of notable computer-aided design (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software).
Rhinoceros (typically abbreviated Rhino or Rhino3D) is a commercial 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) application software that was developed by TLM, Inc, dba Robert McNeel & Associates, an American, privately held, and employee-owned company that was founded in 1978.
Grasshopper is a visual programming language and environment that runs within the Rhinoceros 3D computer-aided design (CAD) application. The program was created by David Rutten, at Robert McNeel & Associates. [2]
VisualARQ is commercial architectural BIM software that works as a plug-in for Rhinoceros CAD application; [1] [2] [3] developed by Asuni CAD, based in Barcelona, Spain.It is aimed at Rhinoceros users and professionals working in the architecture sector such as architects, interior designers and developers.
The PRC file format was first presented by TTF (Trade and Technologies France) in 2003 at DMS in Tokyo. [1] In 2006, the TTF company was acquired by Adobe Systems. [2] In 2014, the PRC file format was approved as an international standard (ISO 14739-1:2014).
3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images.
The import and export of data is the automated or semi-automated input and output of data sets between different software applications.It involves "translating" from the format used in one application into that used by another, where such translation is accomplished automatically via machine processes, such as transcoding, data transformation, and others.
[1] [2] [3] Three-dimensional (3D) models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. [4] Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created manually, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or by scanning.
