Strucsoft Layers Structural Engineering Efficiencies onto Graitec’s Suite of Productivity-Building Revit Tools

A sister company of Ideate Software, Strucsoft by Graitec is laser-focused on streamlining the wood and light-gauge steel framing process. From model design clear through to frame manufacturing and transportation, Strucsoft is saving companies time and minimizing errors with its MWF (Metal Wood Framer) and ONYX plugins for Revit.  


Much like Ideate Software, Strucsoft’s MWF Revit plugin helps users standardize and duplicate Revit models, filter and modify model elements, and more quickly find and fix errors to achieve workflow automation. These pillars come to life for engineers, construction companies and modular building manufacturers, with these and other favorite features: 

Revit Automation 

MWF recognizes existing architectural elements in a model and enables users to define templates, which can be used to automatically propagate walls, floors, roofs and truss elements.  It can also identify different opening conditions and automate the creation of several types of headers and jambs. 

 

Clash Detection 

In mechanical models, identify and solve for clashing elements, then use MWF to easily create openings around the clashing elements 

 

Shop Drawings 

Specify wall, floor, or ceiling views, material schedules, dimensions, labels and more, and  create  precise shop drawings to aid fabrication and installation.  Then achieve granularity in each model using advanced element filters. 

 

Multilayer Panels 

MWF can create secondary structural elements such as resilient channels, and sheathing automatically, following the same template-based workflow as the structural panels. 

 

The time-saving efficiencies of Strucsoft’s MWF plugin for Revit were put to the test when specialty contractor PCI was charged with the design and coordination of Sphere Las Vegas’s interior frame. PCI estimates the process was made three times faster by employing MWF to created models for nearly 8,000 steel wall panels. 

 

From Models to Fabrication and Beyond 

Due to the ease with which its MWF Revit plugin allows teams to replicate modules, Strucsoft has made its name as the leading framing software solution for offsite construction. Another of its products, ONYX, further streamlines the manufacturing process by generating CNC code that pushes the designs directly to machinery for fabrication. MWF can be linked to Onyx, a cloud-based production management platform, allowing for a direct connection between the model and CNC output management. Onyx also provides practical tools such as sequencing and bundling of panels, a CNC viewer and reports generation tool 

 

When layered with the ability to specify the most efficient configuration to stack and transport panels, Strucsoft’s suite of Revit tools help companies leap forward with game-changing productivity and precision.
