# Introduction

**Metal Framing Floor+** application for Autodesk® Revit®

1....allows you to quickly pre-define your floor framing configuration and frame floors in just a few easy steps,

2....is an all-in-one solution with different types of framing,

3....lets you edit framing manually or automatically,

4....lets you design framing with thousands of possible configurations,

5....prepares shop drawings in just a few clicks, and

6....**saves vast amounts of time**.

**Metal Framing Floor+** makes metal framing of floors fast and easy with real-time full project updates in Revit®. Plus it generates views with automatic dimensions for floor panels or segments as well as accurate bills of materials and shop drawings. So quality production and accurate assembly on site are ensured. Solution supports both **C+C** (incl. **C+C Chamfered**), **C+U** (incl. **C+U Special**) and **U+U** framing systems.

### Recommended workflow

1. Build a model using Revit **Floor+M** functionality
2. Create floor types with layers → assign materials
3. **Floor+M** → **Settings** → **Load Families**
4. **Floor+M** → **Configs** → define **Framing Configuration**
5. **Floor+M** → map floor types with framing configuration using **Link Floor**
6. **Floor+M** → frame floor panels
7. **Floor+M** → **Number Elements** → number floors using **Number Floors**
8. **Floor+M** → number framing elements using **Number Elements**
9. **Floor+M** → **Configs** → define **Drawing Configuration**
10. **Floor+M** → make shop drawings for one floor using **Create Assembly**
11. Add shop drawing views into the sheet for one floor and save it as a template for future floor segments
12. **Floor+M** → make shop drawings for other floor segments

### Best practices for making floors in Revit

Floor structure should be layered out in the way the parts of the framing will be modeled, e.g.:

1. *Sheathing*
2. *Main frame*
3. *Battens*
4. *Sheathing*

Materials for every layer are mandatory.

Frame direction deepens in **Span Direction** in the Floor Boundary:

### Main framing elements

Main framing elements according to slope position:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/feature-descriptions/floor-metal-framing/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
