This suite is available for download from Tools4BIM Dock. Developed specifically for Autodesk Revit, Tools4BIM Dock puts at your fingertips all the tools that simplify and accelerate working with a BIM model. In addition, the Dock also gives you access to manufacturers’ libraries and a number of free BIM tools.

Tools you get with the Metal Framing Suite

• The Rafter+M tool lets you quickly create full steel truss roof structures in Revit models.
• Wall+M creates detailed multi-layer steel wall structures for any Revit project.
• With Truss+M you can very easily create a complete roof or floor Truss construction in one go.
• Floor Panel Layout is a powerful product for automatically creating prefabricated floor panel layouts and splitting them into solid slabs and hollow-core slabs. These prefabricated Revit floor panels can later be modeled with Floor+M.
• Floor +M: modeling steel floor frameworks in Revit, from concept to working plane drawings.
• Roof Panel Layout: the tool allows you to effortlessly create and split roof panel layouts for prefabrication. Then you can use Roof+M to create the steel frames for these panels.
• Roof+M: the tool automates the design of steel frames for precast roofs. Workshop drawings are generated at almost the same time as the design of the first roof panel.

Smart Walls is a powerful extension to Revit for managing walls that lets you quickly split layers into different wall types. For example, you can separate the structural layer from the structural layer, or separate different material layers. You have control over the distances and connections between them and the ability to add gravity points.
