To start I’d always advise you to buy TurboCAD Deluxe and a 2D training book. This package costs £110. The training exercises are easy to follow and there is a training CD that comes with the book. Once you have started to get the hang of it, call me to book a training day. By the end of that you will have to very good understanding of CAD in 2D and will have started to understand how 3D works.

Iam considering doing a course on Bathrooms and Kitchens but am quite new to computers. Do you think that I would be able to access you’r course without much difficulty.

Tony,

I wouldn’t start with v15, it’s a few years old now and not supported by win 7. The latest, v18, is £80, (a bit cheaper via this site), and will be more reliable. If it’s only 2D that you want then this will do everything you need. I’d also recommend a 2D training book, these are excellent and have training films included.
If you later want 3D, then check out Google SketchUp, the combination of the two are used by many others in your line of work.
You’re always welcome to call.

John the CAD.

I have very little skills in useing any type of CAD as I fit kitchens only, now i would like to sit behind the desk doing the designing instead.
Due to an injury my future employment will now be limited but i would like very much to do kitchen design!
Would the IMSI TurboCAD 15 V15 Deluxe 2D/3D Drafting & modeling be the one to start off with? or would you suggest another package..
many thanks

Omodele,

The best plan for you would be to buy TurboCAD v18 pro platinum and Google SketchUp. When you buy both together I give you the training books and films for TurboCAD free. You can buy the software on my shop and then email me to let me know and I’ll post your books personally.

It is best to go through a few of the training exercises from the books, or by watching the training films, then when you have some idea of how the package works, book yourself on one of my training days. Either one that does TurboCAD in the morning and SketchUp in the afternoon, or a TurboCAD one that introduces SketchUp later in the afternoon.

This is a package that I sell to a lot of people in your line of work and it works very well.

Hi Paul,

I do not have a prior knowledge of any CAD software but intend to get training on one that is appropriate and suitable for my interior design work.
However, I would also like to know if I purchase the software, can I get going with the tutorials alone or I would essentially need to attend the training.

Hi Paul
Browsing through your site makes me to realise that turbocad has several capabilities.
I just finished a certificate programme in interior design form KLC. I have been intending to do a CAD progamme.
Please, could you advise on the CAD programme suitable for me( i do living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and every area of an interior),the training cost and date.
Presently I am in Nigeria, but would be willing to come to UK again for the trainning.

Thanks and awaiting your response
Omodele.

John,

ArtiCAD seems to be getting around these days, I’ll have to try and take a look at it when I get a chance.

Hi i am a trainied architect have been using a CAD software for years including turboCAD and autocad. i agree with comments listed above. If anyone is interested i also use a specialised software for kitchens and bathrooms called ArtiCAD. it has capability to design in 2d and 3d at the same time and has help me win literaly 100′s of kitchens tenders. if anyone wants to try it for kitchens i suggest taking a look at it. it cost me around £3K and i was trained on site by a chap from north london who was brilliant at kitchen cad design, it exports all dxf to autocad but does a design in minutes, which help with full developments. regards J.Naysworth
