Frame Generator for Revit 8.0

Frame Generator for Revit

Frame Generator for Revit is a productivity add-in that automates the creation of structural framing directly inside Autodesk Revit. It converts architectural intent into coordinated structural systems in minutes, helping teams deliver consistent, editable framing with fewer manual steps and fewer errors.

Key features

• Rule-based framing: Define templates for member types, sizes, spacing, offsets, and end conditions. Apply presets across multiple levels, zones, or views for consistent results.
• Host-driven generation: Create framing from walls, floors, roofs, grids, and reference lines—ideal for studs, joists, rafters, beams, purlins, girts, and bracing in wood, steel, or cold-formed systems.
• Openings handling: Automatically frame around doors, windows, and penetrations with headers, trimmers, sills, and blocking where applicable.
• Regeneration and updates: Quickly regenerate or adjust framing when host geometry changes, preserving parametric control.
• Tagging and schedules: Populate shared parameters for clean tagging, quantity takeoffs, and cost/scope reporting using native Revit schedules.
• Libraries and presets: Save, share, and reuse framing rules to standardize workflows across projects and teams.
• Coordination-friendly: Visual checks and clear warnings help identify conflicts early; framing is organized with filters and view templates for documentation.
• Batch tools: Propagate framing across similar levels or typical units to speed up multi-story and repetitive layouts.

Who it’s for

• Structural engineers, BIM modelers, detailers, contractors, and prefab/manufacturing teams seeking faster, more reliable framing workflows in Revit.

Benefits

• Accelerate modeling, improve consistency, reduce rework, and produce accurate takeoffs—while keeping everything editable in native Revit.

Compatibility

• Designed for recent versions of Autodesk Revit. Specific version support may vary; check your environment and family standards for best results.

Note: Frame Generator for Revit focuses on modeling automation and documentation. It does not replace structural analysis or code checks.
