BIM software for designing ventilated facades

Ventilated Facades software makes it quick and easy to design ventilated facades in Revit® with highly detailed elements and real-time full project updates. That ensures you’ll get accurate bills of materials and builders work drawings, and accurate on-site assembly thanks to BIM-to-Field features.

Compatible with Autodesk® Revit® 2018, 2019, 2020

Together with Metal Framing Wall functionality, which is included, Ventilated Facades enables the instant large-scale insertion of hangers, fixings and brackets throughout your Revit® model. Which means you’ll get high-quality framing models at the level of detail required.

Project elements can be easily marked according to properties and locations. And fabrication information can be automatically generated with all desired views, schedules, and drawings.

POWERFUL FEATURES

Wall+

COMPLETE METAL FRAME CREATION

Metal Framing Wall+ automates light gauge steel wall framing work in Revit®. 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 panel fabrication and construction.

Create detailed multi-layer metal wall framing for any Revit® project in a snap using predefined or custom rules and templates; solution supports C+C (incl. C+C Chamfered), C+U (incl. C+U Special) and U+U framing systems
Frame multi-story houses 10 times faster than using standard Revit interface. Read more>>
Easily configure supporting structure, openings, complex L or T connections, details, service hole positions, and more for straight or arched light-frame walls
Automate sheathing layouts
Frame architectural curtain walls with highly detailed elements (including mullions, transoms, window glass holders, pressure plates, cover plates, insulators etc.) efficiently
Frame curtain panels (including complex fills and internal frames) precisely
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
Generate shop drawings and cut lists with one click; get real-time take-offs and views, auto-sorting and dimensioning, and optional export to any CNC machines (Howick, Metroll, Pinnacle, etc.)
Wall frames update and adapt according to every change
Perform structural analyses without leaving Revit or exporting your metal frames to external analysis software at any stage of design process

Smart Details

LOD 400 AUTOMATION IN REVIT®

Smart Details instantly adds any number of face-specific intelligent details – which adapt to host-element changes – throughout BIM models. Easily set up rules to insert or adjust details based on gravity point, depth, adjacent elements, and more. It saves many hours per project, especially for structural engineers.

Easy setup of insertion rules
Insert details on any face of host element
Use parameters of host elements to make your details smart and adaptive to host length, thickness, height, etc.
Insert details according to gravity point
Insert details based on surrounding elements
Save time by using update and modify options
Use interaction with Smart Assemblies to prepare shop drawings
