Wood Framing Wall+ automates wood framing work with walls in Revit® projects. Powerful, flexible, and easy to use. It helps you make optimal choices, move much faster, and avoid errors at every BIM stage – from design and documentation to wall segment fabrication and construction.
Create detailed multilayer timber wall framing for your Revit model in a snap using fully customizable rules and templatesFrame multi-story houses 10 times faster than using standard Revit interface
Control stud, nogging, bridging, blocking, bracing placement, diverse openings, configure complex L or T connections, details, service hole positions and more
Auto-distribute nailers, siding, and fastenings
Create all log house elements and group (pack)/number them automatically
Freely revise your Revit® model, with simple selection of the elements and properties you want to modify
Find structural and engineering clashes; cut and frame openings according to predefined rules
One-click generation of shop drawings and cut lists; get real-time take-offs and views, automatic sorting, dimensioning
Optional export to any CNC machines and CAD/CAM production lines, such as WEINMANN, Randek, etc.
Wall frames and shop drawings update and adapt according to any changes
Perform structural analyses without leaving Revit or export your wood frames to external analysis software at any stage of design process
Compatible with BIM software Autodesk® Revit® Architecture / Structure, and Building Design Suite.
Ideal for architects, structural engineers and manufacturers of timber-frame houses or other wood constructions. (Recently enhanced to fully support Scandinavian market specifics.)
New Release of Wood/Metal Framing Wall+: A Real-life Dream
Customizing a header, sill, or top-pate support in Revit used to be the stuff of dreams and fairy tales.
You can now create custom headers, sills, and top plate supports in your metal or wood framing project!
Part of the AGACAD Wood Framing Suite, a dynamic set of solutions which leverage the full potential of Revit® and the insights of global BIM experts. Also available separately.
Flexible modeling of timber studs, plates, bracings, bridgings, noggings, metal or wooden straps, equipment supports and more
Framing types are easily linked with wall types, can be preset for bearing or non-bearing walls
Easy transfer framing elements between same groups or identical walls in different levels of buildings by predefining what elements building designer is going to affect: all walls from the same model group, from the instance model group, or selected wall should be unique in the building
Fully scalable: from simple structures to complex multi-level buildings; irregular wall shapes
Complex multi-layer wall framing: unlimited number of layers; layer-specific settings for connections (L, T, V and End); recognition of inner/outer corners
Automated details (hangers, ties, anchors and bolts, clip angles, service holes, etc.) on studs and plates
Complex headers and sills for windows, doors and other wall openings; settings can be preset for different opening sizes
Bridging/nogging/blocking: full placement options; continuous; secondary
Nailers: vertical and horizontal
Siding: vertical, horizontal and mixed; two-layer siding with user-defined spacing
Logs: full placement control, profiles can be edited
Library of all main types of wall framing can be edited and expanded
Sheathing layouts can be easily generated and split by existing studs
Built-in clash detection between structural and engineering objects; automated wall openings and flexible framing around it
Wall frame can be modified any time and supplemented with additional elements
Quick alignment of timber studs or opening cripples with trusses or other frames
Automatic sorting, tagging, dimensioning and scheduling (including mass) of all frames and sheathing layouts
Shop drawing views and schedules are added automatically to the sheets according to user predefined template
Framing, sheathing, and shop drawing configurations can be saved for the future projects and shared between company team members
User-friendly interface with intuitive mouse-driven menus and options
Optional CNC output (Hundegger, Randek, Weinmann, ...) to joinery machines and multi panels production lines enables your model data to be automatically exported to manufacturing
