Description

ARKANCE BTL and BTLx Exporters allow manufacturers of timber house frames to predefine operations and rules for automated CNC machines, including sawing, drilling, trimming, and marking operations for every framing member – directly from Revit. Walls, floors, roof framing members, trusses, or individual framing elements can be exported using this application.

BTL and BTLx formats are free standards for timber fabrication, typically for processing beams that are more detailed and complex. Whereas BTLx is a newer format that describes parts in a machine-independent geometry format and is not yet widespread, the BTL file extension is used worldwide, so the existing installation can easily be adapted if need be.

Exported files can be viewed and checked with free BTL viewers.

The BTL file contains all needed operations and information for cutting.
