Save time by framing dozens of façade walls with just a few of clicks. 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.

Split Revit parts to form façade panels

Automate the creation of pre-defined part sizes for ventilated façade panels. Tool comes with customizable paneling rules which can be updated at any time during the design process.

Add structural connections

Increase the LOD of ventilated facade models by automatically placing structural connections using flexible pre-defined rules.

Frame by model lines

Increase your productivity when modeling varying-sized ventilated façade panels in Revit using model lines as a sketch.

Split Revit parts to form insulation panels

Automate the creation of pre-defined part sizes for ventilated façade finish and insulation panels. Tool comes with customizable sheathing and paneling rules which can be updated at any time during the design process.

Model management & customization

Automatically update framing according to project changes at any design stage.

Update and Modify frames

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

Add additional elements

Save time by easily customizing ventilated facade frames using additional element features including additional bridging, stud and other components.

Documentation

Generate shop drawings and cut lists with one click.

Numbering elements

Cut the working hours when marking and numbering 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 assembly to 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.

Smart dimensions

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

Smart tags

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

Create drawings for individual components

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