Revit® Turbocharger for Timber Frame Floors

       Compatible with Autodesk® Revit® 2022, 2021, 2020

• Auto-generate detailed multilayer floor framing for your Revit model using predefined or custom rules and templates
• Frame multi-story houses 10 times faster than using standard Revit interface
• Easily control supporting structure, including battens and flooring; distribute details, service holes and more
• Automate sheathing layouts
• Freely revise your Revit model by easily selecting the elements and properties you want to modify
• Find structural and engineering clashes; cut and frame openings according to predefined rules
• Easily prepare shop drawings and cut lists, with all required views, where elements are dimensioned, sorted, tagged, scheduled, and mass calculated
• Optional export to any CNC machines and CAD/CAM production lines, such as WEINMANN, Randek, etc.
• Floor frames 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

Selected additional Wood Framing Floor+ features:

• Automated modeling of floor’s wood framing members including joists, battens, bridging, blockings, rims, noggings, and more. • Fully scalable: from simple structures to complex multi-level buildings with irregular floor shapes. • Easily transfer framing elements between same groups or identical floors in different levels of buildings by predefining which elements the building designer is going to affect: all floors from the same model group, from the instance model group, or selected floor should be unique in the building. • Framing types easily linked with floor types; can be preset for bearing or non-bearing floors. • Complex multi-layer floor framing: unlimited number of layers. • Automated details (support clips, hangers, web stiffeners, service holes, etc.) on bridgings, blockings and rim joists. • Alignment of joists across floor segments and between floors and walls. • Floor frame can be modified any time and supplemented with additional members. • Sheathing layouts can be easily generated and split by existing joists. • Built-in clash detection between structural and engineering objects; automated floor openings and flexible framing around it. • Library with main types of floor framing can be edited and expanded. • Automatic sorting, tagging, dimensioning, and scheduling (including mass) of all frames and sheathing layouts. • Shop drawing views and schedules are added automatically to sheets according to user’s predefined template. • All templates and rules are fully customizable; framing sheathing and shop drawing configurations can be saved for future projects and shared between company team members. • Easy setup, user-friendly interface with intuitive mouse-driven options. • Optional CNC output (Hundegger, Randek, Weinmann, …) to joinery machines and multi-panel production lines enables your model data to be automatically exported to manufacturing.
