Software - CAD CAD Software ![]() Deneba Platform: Mac OS, Windows 95 / 98 / NT Media: CD-ROM ASIN: B00002S71M Editorial Reviews Brand-new, full fledged, computer-aided design (CAD) applications for the Mac don't come down the pike every day, despite the Mac's obvious superiority as a design tool. (Well, obvious to everyone but the legions of bent-backed drafting serfs and their whip-cracking managers laboring in DOS-based, AutoCAD-only shops.) So Deneba, whose Canvas illustration program has always sported the most CAD-like precision of the major drawing apps, deserves a gold-plated pocket protector for daring to release DenebaCAD, a 2D/3D CAD package aimed mainly at architects and interior/exterior designers. Not that there aren't other excellent drafting programs out there for the Mac. DenebaCAD's chief competition, Diehl Graphsoft's market-leading MiniCAD 7, also lists for $795, and it is a mature, polished product with a deep feature set. But DenebaCAD has its strengths too: It offers a wide range of tightly integrated built-in capabilities, including simple 2D drafting, complex 3D modeling, and materials tracking and cost-analysis, within a smooth interface that technically oriented designers will master easily. The program's single best feature is the well-thought-out 3D Render module. It produces close-to-photorealistic renderings, flythrough QuickTime animations, QuickTime VRs, and anaglyphic stereo images. If you've struggled with the clunky, ugly 3D in most other low-to-mid-range CAD programs, you'll appreciate the ease with which DenebaCAD produces quite handsome images, complete with textures, natural and artificial lighting, shadows, reflections, and transparency. Rendering is reasonably fast, especially if you've got a 604e-based Mac...
