Be.Smart CNC Exporter Cloud has several predefined CNC export configurations (aka rulesets). Each default CNC configuration is designed to export files read by different Metal CNC machines including Arkitech, Howick, Knudson, Metroll, Pinnacle, Royal C.N.C. and Scottsdale.
After duplicating a selected default configuration, users can modify specific configuration settings. These settings include the CNC Command code, dimensions to Start and end, tolerance, length and other settings.
Click on the Start Export button:
Go to the Settings tab:
If users need to create a new configuration, we recommend choosing the existing configuration closest to the user requirements:
Then click on the + (plus) symbol:
Type the new configuration name and hit the Add button:
Each default configuration has unique settings. You can modify the settings of a new or existing default configuration. All configurations have a few parameters that have the same meaning.
Below are descriptions of the most common settings:
CNC command defines the purpose of the CNC tool. You can find out more about the most popular CNC commands here.
Each CNC configuration has a limited number of pre-defined commands:
Each CNC command has a predefined Code which is a name of the command visible in the exported file.
If you need additional commands, insert Structural Connection families into Structural Framing elements in the Revit model before uploading the project to the cloud version:

Change the name of the selected command.
Defines the distance from the element start/end to the command.
Tolerance of the command.
Length of the command.
Labels may be printed on the reverse side of the frame.
Inverses commands in the exported CNC file.
When frames in the model have inverse connections (for example, plates cut studs), the button must be ticked in order to export the correct commands.
