3 Dot Digital revolutionised the light guage steel frame detailing profession by providing a bespoke software solution for a Residential Detailing Company.
The challenge was to find design detailers who are trained in one or two proprietary design software packages and can interpret the designer’s wishes to manually trace the design into the design software.
The detailing process often took weeks due to architectural design complexity, design revisions, and engineering approval backlogs.
3 Dot Digital provided a solution in the form of a Revit plugin that automated the design process from 2D floorplan to Native Revit 3D model, to framing design, including bracing and trusses. The automated process adhered to Australian Standards based on location and wind rating.
On average, the automated process performed 76% of the repetitive work that the detailer performed manually, leaving the final 24% of work for the detailer to complete. This transformed the process from taking weeks to complete to just a few days.
The bespoke software solution provided by 3 Dot Digital has revolutionised steel framing design for this Residential Detailing Company. They no longer have to worry about finding design detailers who are trained in one or two proprietary design software packages.
With the automated process, they can efficiently and effectively design steel frames that adhere to Australian Standards based on location and wind rating. The software solution has saved them time and money, and they are now able to complete projects in just a few days.
Thanks to 3 Dot Digital, this Residential Detailing Company is now leading the way in steel frame design detailing.
