Vertex BD
Vertex BD is a BIM software for medium to large sized residential builders. Architectural and structural drawing sets, fabrication drawings, material reports, manufacturing data, and marketing renderings are generated all from one building model. Vertex BD automates the process of generating lot specific drawing sets, saving production home builders countless hours of having to recreate drawings for each customer's choice of house options. Vertex BD is primarily used as panel prefab software by component manufacturers and panelizers to automate the process of generating wall and floor panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts, cut lists, and other material reports. By automating these processes, manufacturers are saving a considerable amount of design, drafting and estimation time while minimizing errors at the construction site. Available for wood and cold-formed steel construction.

Autodesk Advance Steel
Advance Steel is a Dedicated Steel detailing package, the Software tool is a 3D modelling environment that then translates into a document management system. The 3D model consists of intelligent structural objects such as Beams, Plates, Bolts and Welds, with these combined together using the Parametric Connection tools that can be propagated within the model via connection copying tools, the model then becomes the hub for the creation of General Arrangements, Shop Assembly and Part drawings to allow for fabrication. These tools also extend into platework with ability to create complex folded plate details for flat pattern development drawings for shop use. Tools for creating steel frameworks from intelligent macros that allow for adjustments to the overall frame dimensions, section profile selection, this combined with the Parametric connection’s tools for standard connections types, with the ability to create custom connection details for bespoke situations.
