In the Czech language, a cheap professional CAD program 4M IntelliCAD and a comprehensive modeling program IDEA are now available for architects, construction designers, and all other technical fields. Both offer support for DWG and DXF drawings, a pleasant user interface, and a multitude of features.

4M IntelliCAD


4M IntelliCAD is built on the latest version of the globally popular CAD platform, which is maintained by the international IntelliCAD Technology Consortium. Its success is primarily based on low cost, support for the most common drawing formats DWG and DXF, and a user interface similar to other CAD programs, so users do not have difficulty controlling it. You will find all the important functions as in significantly more expensive products. You can also set your own keyboard shortcuts, create custom menus or toolbars. Supported features also include working with raster images, 3D modeling and rendering, as well as working with LISP and VBA scripts.

4M IntelliCAD is available in several versions, which differ from each other in the number of supported features and price. Each interested party thus has the option to choose the version that suits them best. Options start with the Viewer version, which offers simple editing of drawings, measuring distances and areas, annotating by inserting paragraph text, and printing including the option to set rendering styles. The first version for full 2D technical drawing and 3D modeling is called Classic and is intended for less demanding users who only need standard drawing and modeling functions. The Standard version additionally offers support for working with raster images and rendering options. For the most demanding users, there is the PRO version, which supports VBA macros, working with ACIS 3D bodies, and includes a clear block library manager and pre-prepared blocks for direct insertion into drawings. For all versions, a 30-day free trial version is available for download on the internet, allowing interested parties to try the different variants of the program.

The price of the program in the Classic version is 4250 CZK excluding VAT, in the Standard version it is 5250 CZK excluding VAT, and for the PRO version it is set at 6850 CZK excluding VAT. Only slightly more expensive are the hardware versions, which allow the license to be transferred via a USB key between several computers. For companies and individuals, this is an opportunity to acquire legal professional software for project documentation processing at a low price.

IDEA Architectural

The IDEA program is an extension of 4M IntelliCAD with many parametric elements, libraries, and tools primarily designed for architectural design.

The BIM structure of the IDEA program offers intelligent modeling and high precision of design in conjunction with a virtual 3D model of the building. All building elements are intelligent objects that can be set arbitrarily thanks to a multitude of optional parameters and algorithms. Automatic listings of rooms, elements, and areas are also available. IDEA thus offers a comprehensive modeling environment with an understandable user interface. Architectural design is complemented by photorealistic rendering, seamless 3D/4D navigation, and other features (material lists, topographical components, etc.)

The advantage of working with a parametric model is the ability to define and later make quick adjustments to individual elements. Within a short time, it is possible to create a relatively complex model of the building, including detailed definitions of window and door elements, compositions of individual structures, and so on. In selected planes, export to 2D drawings (floor plans, sections) and possible further 2D modifications are achievable.

4M Suite

4M IntelliCAD and IDEA are part of a complete suite of BIM applications from 4M. It includes the STRAD and STEEL programs designed for the design of load-bearing structures of buildings, as well as programs like FINE-HVAC, FINE-SANI, FINE-ELEC, and FINE-LIFT intended for specialists in various fields.

Support for users of 4M applications in the Czech language is provided free of charge. Online help, discussion forums, and contact information for email and phone support are available at http://4mcad.cz.
