About

4MCAD is a 2D drafting and 3D modelling CAD software. It is a reliable and low-cost AutoCAD like software platform. More specifically, it is powered by IntelliCAD and ODA, providing 2D/3D CAD Complete Design, Raster Image support, Rendering, BIM/IFC import, AEC objects modelling, VBA support, PDF 2 DWG conversion, rich block libraries and a lot of other advanced key features.

About

Rayfront is a platform-independent toolkit that provides a graphical user interface to the lighting simulation software Radiance. It can be operated as an extension to Autocad or Intellicad, together with the 3Dsolar building modeller, or as a standalone program. Radiance is the industry standard raytracing engine for physically correct lighting simulations (see comparisons). While Radiance can be downloaded for free from LBNL, only a toolbox such as Rayfront enables people like you and me to use it effectively on desktop computers and in your local network. You can also use Rayfront together with many other CAD and modelling programs, as it reads all DXF files, and translators for a large number of other data formats are included. Just select the free or commercial geometry modeler of your preference, and there will be a way to use it's output data with Rayfront.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Fast AutoCAD like interface, includes Autocad commands, very stable & reliable, low price. I recommend 4MCAD for beginners & advanced users.
  • Perpetual license and low price, reliable, very fast even in big files, excellent support from the company, looks like AutoCAD, great performance.
  • Very friendly and workable environment, good performance in terms of display engine (zoom/pan) and open/save speeds.
  • Very fast and AutoCAD like interface, includes the most of Autocad commands, characteristics and system variables. Very stable with no crashes.

Cons

  • I can't find something i don'l like in 4MCAD software.
  • The last version seems to have no weakness until now. Everything works fine !
  • I did not find any weakness in the latest release.
  • I can't find something i don'l like in this software.
