What CapAero does

Complete airport markings and signage, inside your CAD environment.

🛬

Full airside coverage

Covers runway, taxiway and apron environments — markings, vertical signage (signs) and auxiliary devices.

📐

ICAO and FAA compliant

Geometries and standards aligned with ICAO and FAA specifications, with room for local-norm and project-specific customisation.

🧩

Native CAD entities

Input and output as native CAD entities — no redrawing, no proprietary objects, no changes to your CAD configuration.

👁️

Dynamic preview

Live preview as you adjust parameters — see the result before it lands in the drawing.

📊

Automatic quantities

Quantity-takeoff reports generated directly from the drawn entities.

🛠️

Landside via CapRoads

The landside environment (airport access roads) is handled by CapCad's established road-design tools.

Airport horizontal markings

Runway, taxiway and apron markings — command-driven generation, standards-compliant, direct 3D conversion.
