ArchiFrame extends the ARCHICAD design suite for more user-friendly wood structuring and design. ArchiFrame will change the way you do structural design, improving processes and project management. It’s an innovative design tool for wooden structures that combines engineering with aesthetics. ArchiFrame is the complete structuring tool for roofs, walls, floors, frames, panels, and wooden elements — simply reshape planks and beams in one click. The beauty of designing with ArchiFrame is that everything sits within one ARCHICAD file — including 3D models and 2D elevations with semi-automated layouts and listings. With ArchiFrame you can even output elements to CNC — making it the ultimate end-to-end wood modeling software.
ArchiFrame extends ARCHICAD’s rich features to wooden structure design.
ArchiFrame is an add-on that makes ArchiCAD into a complete design tool for wooden structures.
ArchiFrame provides tools for designing walls, frames, column/beam structures, intermediate floors, and roof structures. ArchiFrame tools make it possible to infinitely reshape wooden planks and beams to get the desired result. You can duplicate, rotate, and output wooden elements to manufacture quickly and easily. The ArchiFrame workflow takes you from the architect’s computer straight to the production line.
The best of both worlds: ArchiFrame can work off an architectural model (removing the need for expensive remodeling); or the program can help you create a wood structure from scratch.
As well as new builds, ArchiFrame is suitable for renovation, refurbishment and retrofit building projects.
ARCHICAD has plenty of powerful tools like TeamWork™, multiple import and export options, and the ability to overlay MEP engineering over a structural model for collision checking.
Draft wood structures in one click and get design feedback instantly.
ArchiFrame supports also Light-gauge steel framing.
