See what our customers say about Strucsoft

I couldn’t imagine taking on a project without Strucsoft! The biggest benefit is saved time which allows me to focus on the truly important tasks that make the whole BIM coordination workflow fruitful for the field and other parties.

Alain Michalak, Senior BIM Specialist, PCI

The ability to improvise and pivot in Strucsoft software to meet the last-minute changes that come up on every jobsite helped our customer stay organized and on schedule.

Brian Bembenek, Managing Partner, Dalcassians

Our prefabricated metal panel projects could not have been designed or built as efficiently without Strucsoft. We even used the model to help plan how to ship the panels from our warehouse to the jobsite which was very effective.

Aaron Wright, VDC Director, Hoar Construction

INFINITE CONFIGURATIONS
Virtually infinite wall framing configurations are available with Strucsoft Wood.

Purpose built with wood construction experts in mind, users can create custom framing to define all aspects of wall, floor and roof framing. Model to incredible levels of detail with any project from single family homes to large scale multi family structures and then create material schedules, cut lists, dimensioned panels drawings and easily export to your CNC machine.

MANAGE COORDINATION
Inter-trade clash detection is possible with Strucsoft Wood.

Leverage the coordination capabilities of Revit® by using Strucsoft to manage clash detection with MEP, structural beams and columns within seconds. Using set configurations, users can then modify clashes and correctly frame around these clashes using the quick create feature.

DETECT OPENINGS
Expedite framing by quickly and easily handling multiple opening types within a single wall panel or project wide.

Strucsoft Wood is a template-based and rule-driven wood framing software that allows users to differentiate wall types, openings, connections and penetrations through a Revit® project while simultaneously framing around auto generated openings according to pre-defined user criteria.

MULTILAYER FEATURES
Strucsoft’s intuitive MultiLayer capabilities can accommodate multiple sheathing, furring and structural layers of walls.

Layers can contain sheathing, furring, clapboard, structural framing and more. Once wall assemblies are designed, a master template can be made and applied on a single panel, floor by floor basis or project wide, expediting complete framing creation, all while adhering to green building standards.

FULL AUTOMATION
Simplify the creation of rafter and truss roof systems, and directly export to CNC machinery.

Create custom truss profiles or choose from our pre-existing templates and export lumber cut lists and geometry to your CNC machine’s interface for simple and complex cuts including copes, rafter cuts and even electrical and mechanical passes. Assembly information can also be sent to nailing bridges and panel machines for the ultimate in Revit® to shop floor manufacturing automation.

ENGINEERING CAPABILITES
Floor systems and beams can now be sized and engineered using plugins for Forte by Weyerheuser and Sizer by WoodWorks.

With Strucsoft Wood, users have the built in capability of linking industry leading material sizing engines. Check and analyze complete floor systems or have Strucsoft Wood suggest the optimal member sizes based on Revit® loads, construction conditions, IBC and NBCC codes, and the users pre-defined joist selections.

QUICK CREATE PANELS
Strucsoft Metal facilitates the creation of nearly all aspects of light gauge steel framing within your Revit® model.

Strucsoft’s intuitive template manager can quickly recognize Revit® elements containing all information for accurate framing and then match each user defined template to Revit® wall or floor types. The software will then generate multiple panels with detailed framing in your Revit® model all at once.

COMPONENT MANUFACTURERS
Use pre-loaded libraries of proprietary building components from the industry’s top building manufacturers.

Developed in conjunction with industry leaders such as ClarkDietrich, CEMCO, iSPAN, MarinoWARE, SCAFCO and more, Strucsoft users can take advantage of the pre-loaded libraries and/or quickly create personalized libraries based on project specific requirements within Strucsoft.

CONNECTION MEMBERS
Bring your level of detail to new heights by automatically modeling accurate connection members.

Framing information such as kickers, bracing, straps, hangers, hold downs, and equipment supports can be modeled based on template information and existing conditions in your Revit® model using rough opening dimensions, panel widths, and heights, for instance.

RUN CLASH DETECTION
Enhance project wide coordination with Strucsoft’s clash detection abilities.

Sense all opening types and penetrations such as structural beams, MEP and Revit® wall types based on predetermined information in your Revit® model, and then automatically apply different opening conditions to frame around thousands of intersections and/or penetrants in just a few seconds.

SHOP DRAWINGS
Generate precise manufacturing data directly within Strucsoft.

Create custom shop drawings, fully dimensioned BOMs, cut lists and optional 3D previews. Turn your Revit® project into a manufacturing asset by creating custom construction documentation that can be directly fed into your CNC’s interface for easy panel production and assembly.

CNC OUTPUT
Easily export wall, floor and truss information directly into a format readable by your company’s CNC machine.

Many operations are supported including multiple knock-outs, notching, bird’s mouth cuts, hole cuts, members labels and more. Strucsoft Metal integrates with to AMS Controls, Beck Automation, Framecad, Howick, Knudson, Studmeister, Pinnacle, FrameMac, Arkitech and more. If your roll former is not listed, feel free to reach out to us regarding custom outputs.

TRUSS ENGINEERING
Design oddball trusses freehand using model lines, for further optimization and engineering in your final Revit® model.

Virtually any truss shape is supported either through automatic detection of the Revit® roof profile or by manual features allowing the user to manually draft truss profiles. Using the truss designer, inline, back -to-back and wall truss configuration are all supported, making design versatile and free of constraint.

CREATE DRAWINGS
Optimize member selection and steel truss design and automatically generate engineered reports and detailed production drawings.

Create 3D framing, 2D drawings, material lists and more in just a few seconds. From there, easily export your entire project with framing data directly to a variety of light gauge steel CNC machines or robotic panelizing machines such as Howick, FrameCAD, Pinnacle and more.
