We suggest using a Windows 7 32-bit software to run InteriCAD. Windows XP and Vista 32 bit are also acceptable

Yes! InteriCAD is very easy to learn especially if you have CAD knowledge.

Knowledge of CAD will also help in the modeling environment, which has an interface similar to other CAD systems.

3DS Max lets you create models of complex geometry, such as a sofa, which is  difficult to model in InteriCAD. However, for Interior Design projects there is no comparison.Productivity with InteriCAD is much higher, and you do not need a machine so powerful.

Yes you can. However, all functions and productivity features of the program are designed for Interior Design.The functions of application of materials, lighting and rendering are the same and will produce the same quality results impressive.

Yes, you can import objects shaped SKP, 3DS and even DWG or DXF. This way your library is virtually endless counting on all models shared on the Internet on sites like Google 3D Warehouse.

You are more than welcome to visit our offices for a live software demo. Please use our Contact Page to book a time.

Yes, you can open and edit files in DWG, DXF and 3DS, from other CAD systems such as AutoCAD, GstarCAD, Bricscad. Such files can be used as a base for design of structures or as a source of 3D models. DWG files must be saved as 2007 and lower. 

Yes it can. InteriCAD T5′s CAD system is 98% similar to AutoCAD LT enabling you to complete all of your standard drafting procedures.

 All program updates are done online and are free of charge. Each program either connects to the internet automatically to update or the user must select the update function.

Upgrades are released periodically and there will be a small upgrade fee attached. There is no commitment to upgrade.

3D Object Library is one of the most important aspects of InteriCAD software. By purchasing one of the systems, you have access to  more than 7,000 objects from different manufacturers. Among them you will find elements of structures such as doors, windows, columns, moldings and cornices, domestic and office furniture, bathroom accessories and kitchenware, electronics and household appliances, decorative items such as carpets, curtains, pillows, vases, flowers,  etc.

You also get a prepaid card for the www.interimodel.com from which you can download hundreds of thousands of additional 3D models in formats InteriCAD and 3D Studio Max. In addition, the library system can be developed independently by importing 3D objects, directly from selected manufacturers, file formats: dwg, dxf, 3ds and also by importing directly from the 3D Studio Max.

If you want to add your own 3d models please visit the relevant product support page.

Yes we do.
* InteriCAD Lite – basic training, 8 hours. The scope of training includes work in 2D and VR interface, the execution of several examples of spaces and rendering using advanced editor features editor of textures and light.

* InteriCAD T5 – basic training, 16 hours (2 days). The first part (8 hours) includes work in the CAD system – read the rules of architectural features and construction of the sample, a complex area. The second part (8 hours) explains how to work with the VR interface and includes the execution of at least one, the whole project: the structure (in the layer CAD) and rendering with advanced texture editor and editor of light.

* KD Max – basic training, 8 hours. The scope of training includes work in the interface design principles of 2D and kitchen furniture. During the course presents a system structure that allows dynamic change of details designed furniture such as fronts, countertops, fixtures, texture, etc., and to obtain detailed technical documentation, evaluation, and lists of materials. The training also includes a sample implementation of building furniture, and rendering with advanced texture editor and editor of light.

 Our range of software uses a authorization dongle in order to function. Therefore you may install on multiple machine but only use one machine at a time.  

If the dongle malfunctions we can test to see if it need replacing. If it does we will replace it free of charge provided this is within the 3 month warranty.
If the dongle is damaged there will be a replacement fee attached.
If the dongle is lost or stolen it is the equivalent of losing the software licence. The user will have to repurchase the software. We suggest that the dongle is insured for theft or accidental loss.

Adding your own product line to our software range is a great way to boost your marketing and to help grow the South African product library.   Please contact us to find out more details.

Unfortunately adding your own 3D models to the My Home Designer program is not possible as this requires some development on our side. It is entirely possible for suppliers models to be added to our software product but this is more of  a commercial project. You can however use your own textures, please see the MHD support page

Software like KDMAX can produce working drawings automatically, others like InteriCAD T5 will have to be drawn manually.
