AltonaLab

AltonaLab IoT software has a powerful and easy-to-use CAD environment, suitable for the design of complicated diagrams. Please read the documentation and enjoy the exciting world of IoT software! The new connection is established when the user left-clicks with the mouse over the block’s input or output, without releasing the mouse button drag the mouse to the direction of another input/output, and then release the mouse button over it. Double click over the block or click with the right mouse button opens the Parameters editor where every parameter is presented with the separated row. The parameter Name is very important and is unique within the diagram! When the diagram is locked, the application uses this parameter to determine the diagram's size. This is a tricky way to hide all the blocks and contours which are outside the visible area (the area determined from parameters LockedCanvasHeight / LockedCanvasWidth) and only controls from a visible area to be shown.

LibreCAD

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation are free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. LibreCAD started as a project to build CAM capabilities into the community version of QCad for use with a Mechmate CNC router. Since QCad CE was built around the outdated Qt3 library, it had to be ported to Qt4 before additional enhancements. This gave rise to CADuntu. The project was known as CADuntu only for a couple of months before the community decided that the name was inappropriate. After some discussion within the community and research on existing names, CADuntu was renamed to LibreCAD. Porting the rendering engine to Qt4 proved to be a large task, so LibreCAD initially still depended on the Qt3 support library. The Qt4 porting was completed eventually during the development of 2.0.0 series, thanks to our master developer Rallaz, and LibreCAD has become Qt3 free except in the 1.0.0 series.

Renga Architecture

Ascon

The products of Renga Software are intended for integrated design: the information model of a construction object created in the Renga system can be used in other stages of its life cycle. At the first stage of design, the project architect needs a tool to create a quick and easy conceptual prototype of a future building. The Renga BIM system is based on two general principles: designing in 3D space (for enhanced visualization) and using an intuitive, context-based interface (for simplicity of interaction with the 3D model. An architect can create a building in the 3D view, using object tools like walls, beams, windows, etc. You can also switch to the 2D drawing plan at any moment and continue the creation of 3D modeling in that view. A lot of specialists have already appreciated this approach and have found the Renga software operating speed to be a great deal higher compared to other software.
