What is new in ELITECAD Mechanics 17 at a glance
Performance boost for your modelling
Thanks to cleverly optimised graphics output, ELITECAD Mechanics 17 lets you work more smoothly than ever before – even with detailed point clouds or complex designs. The new version boosts performance noticeably.
Easier design with maximum clarity
The new parameter management with live previews and flexible search functions makes your design work clearer, faster and more transparent. Even working with rotated coordinate systems is a breeze now. Your plans will also impress big time thanks to the new text-to-3D function and the multifunctional QR codes.

Massively accelerated: ELITECAD Mechanics 17 handles complex models, large point clouds or large numbers of components in your designs faster and smoother than ever before. This is made possible by a completely revised graphics processing with a situation-dependent optimisation of the 3D view automatically in the background.

Whether for remodelling, renovation or extension projects: point clouds have become crucial when working with existing structures. ELITECAD Mechanics 17 simplifies and speeds up scan data processing significantly with practical new features such as the 3D clipping box.
Precise handling of even large scan data & as-built models
The new 3D Clipping Box together with high-performance point cloud processing and automatic georeferencing ensure maximum precision and speed when working with as-built data. This allows you to import scan data faster, process it selectively, organise it by layer or georeference it directly. Even with huge datasets, you always have the best overview.
Completely connected with full control
IFC 4.3 support and revised import data handling bring absolute transparency to the handling of external data. With the new PlanRadar plugin, you can also share your plans directly from ELITECAD in the cloud – including versioning, without manual uploads.

The terrain module and the piping module have also been improved and expanded, for example with new handles and grippers for a more intuitive creation of pipe networks. Both modules are available as optional add-ons to ELITECAD Mechanics 17.
Revised modules for terrain and piping
In the terrain module, existing terrain can now be expanded even more easily, e.g. by adding contour lines or importing points. The new terrain inspector also documents all modifications in a transparent and traceable manner.
The improved piping module also makes the creation of pipe networks much more user-friendly. Thanks to handles and grippers, you can now select, move, rotate or adjust the properties of elements in the pipe network directly in the model without having to go through complex menus or having to redraw elements.
