Boolean operations have options for automatic trimming, or automatic removal of subtracted volumes. Solids can be added or subtracted, thus forming Boolean trees representing real mechanical parts. More complex tools include rotation blending between two profiles, lofting between a circle and rectangle, and creation of helical surfaces. Solids can also easily be created by profile rotation, extrusion, or lofting. VariCAD provides a library of basic 3D solids (prism, cylinder, cone, etc.), which are easily modified by editing the original profile or parameters. Models created in 3D are easily converted into conventional 2D documentation. The 3D approach is usually more intuitive than 2D drafting. Designing in 3D is generally more 'natural,' in that it closely represents actual parts and assemblies. You can start by creating a 3D model and then use it to automatically create drawings files, or you can draw only in 2D. An intelligent cursor, numerous detection and selection modes, 2D construction lines, and the orthogonal grid are just some of the tools that make working with VariCAD so easy.

All commands were created with a focus on ease of use. We carefully tailored and tuned the GUI to reflect the thought process of a designer, so that ideas can be captured and communicated with a minimal number of steps. VariCAD's Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been designed to allow quick and intuitive 3D/2D orientation. The 3D designs can be build with the use of different dedicated parameters designed to help you create shaded and wireframe views, rotate or zoom, rebuild 3D objects in case of internal data errors, create and edit solids, combine two solids in one object, define an object’s dimension or position within the corresponding solid, and apply geometric constrains. VariCAD gives users the possibility to insert objects from files (DWB, STP), copy, paste, or delete the selected components, drag and drop them into the working environment, undo or redo the last action, and change the colors of 2D or 3D objects. The user interface may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance, but this is only because the program comes packed with many dedicated parameters. VariCAD is a professional CAD application that provides a wide range of features designed to help you create 3D or 2D drawings useful in the field of mechanical engineering.
