MWF or Metal Wood Framer is a template-based
and rule-driven extension to Autodesk® Revit® for
framing. It allows users to automate the modeling,
clash detection and manufacturing of light gauge
steel and wood framing including shop drawings,
cut lists, BOM, optional CNC output and more.
MWF PRO SERIES
MWF Pro Series Software automates creation, clash detection, and manufacturing
of light gauge steel and wood framing in Revit®. The software utilizes the built
in intelligence of Revit® to automate the creation of light gauge and wood framing
across virtually any construction project. MWF Pro is available as individual
modules, MWF Pro Wall, MWF Pro Floor, and MWF Pro Truss, or together as
MWF Pro Suite.

Automate the creation of wall panels, stud placement, custom framing
around openings, kickers, connectors, sheathing layouts and more in your
Revit® projects walls using MWF Pro Wall. Create and assign templates
to wall types, manage clash detection in your walls and automatically
take your model into manufacturing with accurate member dimensioning,
material take offs and shop drawings created quickly, effectively and to
your companies exacting specifications.
MWF Pro Floor
MWF Pro Floor automatically detects Revit® floors, elements and
openings, empowering users to frame floors, ceilings, rafters and flat
roofs with user-defined rules and templates. Rule-sets also allow for
automatic clash detection and resolution of clashes. Use MWF Pro Floor
to perform automatic cutbacks, produce shop drawings and cut lists and
manage joist arrangement and panelizing, allowing you to manufacture
directly from your model.
MWF Pro Truss
MWF Pro Truss reads Revit® roof elements and creates a customized
truss layout based on user templates in wood or steel. Select your truss
type, input reference points, and let MWF Pro Truss place your trusses.
Frame canted roofs, rafter systems and trusses in both steel and wood.
You can now export your truss information to .DXF to be analysed by
your preferred analysis software or straight to your suppliers truss
design software. As with each of the MWF Pro Modules, detailed and
dimensioned shop drawings are just a click away.

and structural beams and columns.
MWF HOMEBUILDER Suite for Autodesk® Revit® automates wood framing
of walls, floors, ceilings and trusses without ever having to duplicate or recreate
your model. The software creates furring, chase walls, steel hangers, connectors,
bracing, nogging, blocking, straps and will automate wall joins based on rule sets.
MWF HomeBuilder suite reads Revit® roof elements and creates customized
truss layouts based on user templates as well as allowing you to frame canted
roofs and rafter systems.
5. Simplify the creation of rafter and truss roof systems.
Create custom truss profiles, or choose from our
existing templates. Export to dimensioned shop
drawings and CNC rafter outputs for complicated
birds mouth and end cuts.
4. Automatic detection of Revit® openings. Handle
multiple opening types within a single wall panel.
MWF ADVANCED

MWF Advanced for Wood
MWF Floor Advanced for Wood takes MWF Pro Floor a step further by adding engineering capability. The program manages the load
definition and distribution as well as over all floor system analysis in order to establish individual member loads, supports and end conditions. The design process is further streamlined by grouping members that have identical loading, length, deflection criteria, as well as end
conditions. Each member group is designed by industry recognized design engines including WoodWorks Sizer by the Canadian Wood
Council or Weyerhaeuser’s Forte engine which are seamlessly integrated into MWF Floor Advanced, Revit® interface.
Can be run in “interactive” or “silent” mode where design results are
updated automatically within the Revit ® model.
Can also be used to verify member sizes of existing floor structures.
Supports both joists and girders design.
MWF Advanced is a powerful tool for engineers, analyzing loads, and reactions
within your Revit® model and checking it against local codes, automatically sizing
and propagating optimized member selection across the model.
MWF Advanced for CFS (Cold Formed Steel)
MWF Floor Advanced for Metal adds Cold formed steel engineering
capability to MWF . The program manages the load definition and
distribution as well as over all floor system analysis in order to
establish individual member loads, supports and end conditions.
The design process is further streamlined by grouping members
that have identical loading, length, deflection criteria, as well as
end conditions. Each member group is designed using StrucSoft
Solutions own design engine. Capacity tables can also be used
for design in the case of proprietary shapes .

- Phillip Atwood, Drywall Detailer at DPR Construction
“We have worked with StrucSoft Solutions on several occasions and every time I have been
extremely impressed with their willingness to understand and support our project needs and
goals. One of our prefabricated metal panel projects could not have been designed or built as
efficiently without MWF. We even used the model to help plan how to ship the panels from our
warehouse to the jobsite which was very effective.”
- Aaron Wright, VDC Director at Hoar Construction
“About 95% of the exterior walls on this job were pre-fabricated on the Palo Alto Medical Facility.
With StrucSoft’s MWF, our material take offs were accurate, we were able to automate many
unique conditions (such as wall joins, headers, and sills) and quickly output panel drawings,
enabling us to streamline our operation.”
- Casey Cardin, CAD Drafter at KHS&S
