Save time by framing dozens of curtain wall frames with just a few of clicks. Curtain walls are framed using predefined rules for wall joins, openings and other wall components. Frames are created using default framing profiles which can be customized to suit different standards.

Add structural connections

Increase the LOD of curtain wall framing models using flexible automation rules.

Generate several layers of curtain wall frame components

Save time by automating the creation of multiple curtain wall frame components including mullions, transoms, cover caps, gaskets and other elements. Families for these components come with the solution and are easily adjustable to suit your needs.

Add transom holders to curtain wall mullions

Become more efficient at modeling curtain wall transom holders by automatically adding the components using configurations.

Model management & customization

Get more opportunities to create even the most complex projects.

Modify and update frames

Improve your efficiency when updating or modifying frames in a Revit model. Frames can be accurately updated to fit changed host sizes. Framing rules can be modified at any project stage which means that frames don’t need to be modified manually.

Select elements

Selection features will rapidly speed up framing element management which lets users instantly select components by different rules or filters.

Edit or customize default ventilated facade framing families

Curtain Walls comes with default framing families that can be customized to save time and improve productivity as components are designed to work with the software.

Customize framing configurations

Use pre-defined framing rules for automated framing of curtain wall frames to boost productivity. Configurations can be used to define framing profile types for mullions, transoms, corners and other components.

Documentation

Generate fabrication information with the necessary views, schedules, and drawings automatically.

Automate views and schedules for shop drawings

Save time and eliminate human error by automatically generating sheets with annotated views and schedules. Shop drawings come with customizable automation rules meaning that users can create multiple views and schedules for several sheets at once.

Add dimensions

Speed up the documentation workflow by automating framing element dimensioning process in shop drawing views using pre-defined rules.

Add tags

Increase productivity by automating element tagging process in shop drawing views.

Numbering of elements

Cut the working hours when marking and numbering curtain wall frames and other building components in Revit project. Flexible automation rules ensure accurate component numbering which eliminates human error and saves time. Marked components can be used for scheduling and material takeoffs.

Create drawings for individual components

Enjoy flexibility by creating shop drawings for entire curtain wall frames or individual components in Revit project.
