Getting Started

Introduction

CNC Exporter Cloud is an additional option in Be.Smart CNC Exporter solutions. In addition to having most of the functionality of the Revit-based add-in, the cloud version offers more flexibility for batch-exporting dozens of frames from Revit models to CNC machines.

With CNC Exporter Cloud, team members can also analyze BIM models together, even without using Revit. This allows for easier collaboration and viewing of manufacturing data.

Note: All Be.Smart CNC Exporters, whether cloud-based or Revit-based, only work with Revit models created using Be.Smart Metal Framing software.

Available CNC exporters

The current CNC Exporter Cloud version can be used only with light-gauge steel frames modeled in Revit with Be.Smart Metal Framing solution. It supports these CNC metalworking project files:

Arkitech CSV
Howick CSV
Howick CSV2
Knudson TXT
Metroll TXT
Pinnacle PART.LIST
Royal TXT
ScotSim TXT
