About Metal Framing

Be.Smart Metal Framing solution for Autodesk® Revit® automates the modeling, data and documentation of Light-Gauge Steel (LGS) / Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) frames.

The rule-based automation features help users save time and eliminate errors when delivering LGS frame designs for fabrication.

Metal Framing offers Revit® users a solution to automate Light-Gauge Steel stud walls – from the modeling and clash detection to real-time take-offs and shop drawings.
