ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StrucSoft Solutions is shipping MWF Floor, a new software application for automating floor framing-through-manufacturing inside Autodesk Revit BIM models. MWF Floor is an add-on module to StrucSoft's MWF Professional, a template-driven extension to Revit Architecture and Revit Structure that automates design, shop floor drawing production, and manufacturing of light gauge metal and wood studs. StrucSoft will exhibit MWF Floor for the first time at the NAHB International Builders' Show in booth #W955 in Orlando, Florida, February 8-11, 2012.
"What MWF Floor adds to Revit is the capability to accurately model floor framing, using either the stick framing or panelizing work methods," commented George Ajami, president of StrucSoft Solutions. "Use of BIM tools, and specifically Revit, has greatly improved coordination with the building trades, and allowed them to identify and fix many problems prior to construction. However, even with a powerful program like Revit, there are niches that can benefit from further automation, such as the creation of framing for walls, floors, and ceilings. With the MWF Professional suite of products, we allow users to work the way they do in real life - closely defining construction conditions so that field changes can be minimized."
MWF Floor provides a comprehensive toolbox for creating both wood and metal floor framing. It will auto-detect Revit floors and openings (including MEP clash detection), and users can define end conditions, such as balloon, platform, or custom support to create automated framing of floor openings. Other features include joist arrangement and panelizing; automated cutbacks; automated shop drawings and cut lists, and optional CNC output.
