Free CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models


Do you want a relatively simple Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) program ?

You can design toys with LeoCAD easily. The software currently includes more than 6000 different pieces that you can use to create various virtual LEGO models and a camera position function to view the models at different angles and directions.
LeoCAD has an intuitive user interface with a titlebar, toolbars and menus at the top, a workspace covering most of the center, tool window on the right, color palette below the window and status bar at the bottom. The available pieces are grouped in various categories in the tool window, such as animal, baseplate and car, which are arranged in alphabetical order.
We could expand each category, pick the piece we wanted to use, drag and drop it onto the workspace. Alternatively, we could add pieces using the “Insert” tool or even the “Insert” key, but we preferred using the drag-and-drop function.
Clicking the axis arrows let us move a piece one axis at a time. We could also click the “Rotate” icon and drag the mouse to change the direction of a piece. We could display the grid to help us have a better view of the location of each piece in the workspace.
LeoCAD makes it easy for any computer user to create toys but also includes advanced features suitable for seasoned users. You can even use it to animate the models you create.
