Wood framing roof BIM software for Revit® for detailed design of prefabricated timber framed roof panel, truss & rafter systems
Wood Framing Roof lets Revit® users instantly create prefabricated wood frame roof panels, wooden truss and/or rafter systems of any shape or complexity with analytical lines, and generate custom shop drawings.
It’s a potent BIM workflow booster. Functions are versatile, parameters easy to control, and changes occur in real time. No more drafting – just design and decide, knowing you’ll get a high-quality model.
Compatible with Autodesk® Revit® 2023, 2022, 2021
Connectors, cuts, supports, tension braces and other details can be distributed based on predefined rules or connection types. They can then be modified or updated to suit the project design stage and the level of detail required. The layout and details of roof structural elements can be modified and updated whenever the project is changed.
Easy marking of trusses and rafters based on properties and location ensures accurate bills of materials and accurate assembly. And information for fabrication can be automatically generated with all desired views, schedules, and drawings for each structural element.

POWERFUL FEATURES
Roof Panel Layout
PREFABRICATED ROOF PANELING
Plan roof panels easily and split them into segments for prefabrication which can be used in the roof framing process.
- Panel Layout Planning functions let you better understand how a roof will be divided. User can control every division line and can predefine rules to automate the division process.
- Initially an architectural roof can be divided into coarse partitions, or regions. Regions can be created automatically based on ends of roof ridges and bottom ends of valley rafters as well as windows and generic or system openings with predefined distances.
- Regions can be divided into panels using predefined spacing.
- Panels can be aligned and modified for an individual roof side or region and additionally split.
- A variety of automated splitting functions make it easy to get the needed result. Panels can be split in half a variety of ways: by maximum spacing, from the middle to both ends, in the middle and to both ends, from the initially selected end, or from both ends.
- Selected regions or panels can be joined, if needed.
- Creates individual panels for the selected roof side or for the whole roof.
- The full roof panels can later be taken to a new phase via their properties for better filtering and scheduling.

Truss+
FULL-POWER WOOD TRUSS CREATOR FOR REVIT
Generate wooden truss systems instantly, export analytical lines of elements to external structural analysis software, and auto-generate shop drawings tailored to your standards. Functions are versatile, parameters easy to control, and changes occur in real time.
- Build full truss systems in one go with the configurable 3D grid (escaping the limited and time-consuming nature of standard Revit truss family insertion).
- Easily assess options – such as wooden truss framing – in economic, structural, and systemic terms, to make the best design decisions.
- Create new parametric, uniquely-shaped truss families based on model lines and roofs for immediate use in your projects.
- Freely revise your Revit model, updating and adapting truss systems as needed.
- Get real-time take-offs and views, automatic creation of shop drawings and cut lists, and easy export to CNC machines.
Cut Opening
PRECISION OPENINGS FOR MEP SERVICES AND BUILDING STRUCTURES
Automatically create openings (with fire safety components as well) throughout a Revit model where ducts, pipes, cable trays, and conduits intersect with walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, beams, and columns. BIM solution Cut Opening creates openings with special holding details for structural beams.

Testimonials
Panel Designer at Deltec Homes, Inc., USA
“My colleagues and I are very happy with the much-improved quality of the shop drawings I’m able to produce with Wood Framing Wall. I’m now working directly from the same model we generate all our plans from, so the potential for error is much reduced. I also now have control over my deliverables for the shop: I can include a lot more information than before, and I can exclude unnecessary information that used to clutter up panel sheets. One example of major improvements is that sheathing used to be just listed in a table, now it’s all drawn out graphically and easy to understand, which reduces the chance the shop could make a mistake.”
