QuickDraw2D : the tSX that brings autoCAD in tS

Post by Emmanuel »

Here is an other "old" plugin by Libor.

QuickDraw2D looks like a "bridge" plugin that allows to draw 2D plans in a typical AutoCAD-type interface, with all the lines and curves tools plus the very useful SNAP feature to draw plans with 90° angles, and then load the shapes directly into trueSpace.

The plugin uses VeCAD5.3 library. So you need to install VeCAD first, then copy the tSX in trueSpace's tSX directory. You can launch VeCAD like a standalone program but the goal is to clic the tSX icon inside of tS interface.

The typical workflow is : clic the icon to open VeCAD window, draw some 2D objects, then clic the Export button in the menu to bring the shape into your tS scene.

This version of VeCAD has some limitations (like a maximum of vertices per object to cross the bridge) and doesn't work in x64 systems.

Here is a video that shows QuickDraw2D workflow :
