# Introduction

**SIP Panels** makes wood framing with structural insulated panels – prefabricated building components for use as walls, floors and roofs – fast and easy with real-time, full-project updates in Autodesk® Revit®. Plus the software generates views with automatic dimensions for panels or segments as well as accurate bills of materials and shop drawings. So quality production and accurate assembly on site are ensured.

Our **SIP Panels** solution lets you take a wall, floor, or roof and split it as needed to then generate SIP panels. The insulated foam core sandwiched between the OSB (or other sheathing) are created as parts in Revit. For roofs, you can take one of any architectural shape and instantly split either a selected side or the entire roof by faces (slopes), which can then be framed and panelized. Similarly, a floor can be split according to its supporting structure, framed and then panelized. Studs and plates just need to be distributed for walls and then you can split parts to get the SIP panels.

Distribute connectors, cuts, supports, and other details based on predefined rules or connection types. All frames with SIP parts and the layout of framing elements and details can be modified and updated to suit the project design stage and the level of detail required. The dynamic update functionality can make changes to all frames with SIPs of the same type at once.

Easily mark wall, floor, and roof frame elements in the project based on their properties and locations in the layer. Automatically generate fabrication information with all desired views, schedules, and drawings for each wall, floor, and roof panel.

# 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/sip-panels/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.
