Metal framing BIM software for automated light steel wall frame design in Revit® including optional CNC output

Wall+

COMPLETE METAL WALL FRAME CREATION

Automate light gauge steel wall framing work in Revit® using Metal Framing Wall+. This BIM solution helps you make optimal choices, move much faster, and avoid errors at every BIM stage – from design and documentation to wall panel fabrication and construction.

• Create detailed multi-layer metal wall framing for any Revit project using predefined or custom rules and templates; solution supports C+C (incl. C+C Chamfered), C+U (incl. C+U Special) and U+U framing systems.
• Frame multi-story houses 10 times faster than using standard Revit interface.
• Easily configure supporting structure, openings, complex L or T connections, details, service hole positions, and more for straight or arched light-frame walls.
• Automate sheathing layouts.
• Frame architectural curtain walls with highly detailed elements and curtain panels (including complex fills and internal frames) precisely.
• Freely revise your Revit model with simple selection of the elements and properties you want to modify; find structural and engineering clashes.
• Perform structural analyses without leaving Revit at any stage of design process.
• Generate shop drawings and cut lists with one click; get real-time take-offs and views, auto-sorting and dimensioning, and optional export to any CNC machines (Howick, Metroll, Pinnacle, etc.).

Smart Walls

WALL & JOIN MANAGEMENT

Manage walls in Revit®: rapidly disassemble layers into different wall types, fully control joins and gap distances, split walls into separate panels with predefined settings, insert gravity points, and manage information with an export-to-Excel feature.

• Manage information of all walls in your project.
• Export filtered, grouped, or selected information (wall parameters) to Excel.
• Decompose wall layers into separate wall types according to user’s predefined configuration.
• Fully control joins and gap distances between walls.
• Insert gravity points.
• Add additional information about real wall orientation, elevation, or coordinates.
• Split walls at exact locations by using grid lines, openings, or other walls.
• Split walls automatically by predefined panel size.

Cut Opening

PRECISION OPENINGS FOR MEP SERVICES AND BUILDING STRUCTURES

Automatically create openings throughout a Revit® model where ducts, pipes, cable trays and conduits intersect with walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, beams and columns. Cut Opening creates openings with special holding details for structural beams.

• Automatically adds openings with predefined sizes in accordance with MEP line based element sizes, categories and system classifications.
• Automatically joins openings with predefined configurations.
• Automatically inserts Fire Dampers where ducts clash with walls, floors, ceilings or roofs with fire rating.
• Automatically inserts structural openings for separated architectural and structural models.
• Enhance BIM-team work and deliverables for integrated project delivery (IPD).

Sort Mark

FLEXIBLE ELEMENT AND GRID RENUMBERING

Renumber Revit® elements just the way you want, detect and renumber grids, determine swing direction and orientation (and add them as properties), recalculate shared coordinates, and much more.

• Detects grid geometry and automatically renumbers them after any project change.
• Renumbers of any Revit elements (Doors, Windows, Columns, Pipes, etc.) in a number of different ways.
• Writes swing direction for the doors into the door’s properties.
• Writes flip/mirror orientation for the selected elements.
• Creates new shared parameters, recalculates shared X, Y, Z coordinates.
• Possibility to save numbering settings under the separate name.
• Possibility to sort elements in Ascending/Descending order, and many more functions.

Smart Views

MAKING VIEWS & PLACING DIMENSIONS FAST IN REVIT®

Get sections and elevation drawings for any building element easily using functions that create views and dimensions for selected elements quickly.

• Uses configurations instead of manual work
• Crops views to the element size
• Creates automatic dimensions based on defined configurations
• Applies view templates to all new views
• Creates the number of views you set in the configurations for multiple selected elements
• Renames views based on configurations
• Apply dimensioning rules to any Revit view or selected elements in view
