Over the past month or two, our Wood and Metal Framing solutions have been beefed up significantly. Even though we’ve talked about a lot of those updates in several recent blog posts, there are still some points that we haven’t gone over yet. In the latest version of these powerful solutions, you’ll find extended functionality for framing openings, view rotation, mixed wood-metal framing, and more.
To make your work faster and smoother.
The latest versions include enhancements for Joined Sloped Openings:
Another significant technological development incorporated in the framing software is the possibility of modeling complex, mixed wood-metal frames.
The ability to rotate individual Assembly Views is a very useful improvement that you can now take full advantage of. Previously, you only had the possibility of rotating them all at once. Individual view rotation is a boon if you need the joists to be displayed in another direction or for rotating sections.

In the latest framing version, you’ll have new possibilities when it comes to distributing Top Plate Supports, namely, adding Top Plate Supports and Top Headers that are aligned.
Here’s how it works. Let’s add one Top Plate Support and one Top Header, that are aligned.
- In the Opening Framing Configuration, add two Top Plate Supports (Top Headers).
- Then, in the Additional Bridging’s 2nd tab, add Additional Top Plate Support.
The Additional Top Plate Support will automatically delete the overlapping Top Header. Every Additional Top Plate Support will delete the corresponding row of Top Headers.
| Two Top Headers added | Additional Top Plate Support deleted the overlapping Top Header |

And last but not least – Smart Dimensions.
In the new versions of our framing software, you’ll have the possibility of disconnecting a dimension line from total dimension points.
Take a look at these examples, where “Disconnect from Total Dimension point” was checked:
