All the framing power you need
Metal Collection provides specialized Revit-based industry solutions for designing and prefabricating LGS / CFS structures. With Be.Smart toolsets, you can:
Quickly model and manage framing elements, customize parameters, distribute connections and hardware details.
Enhance coordination across architectural, structural, and MEP projects by automatically inserting openings based on clash-detection.
Ensure accuracy with adjustable structural framing Revit families and shop drawing templates.
Seamlessly update your 3D model, schedules, and shop drawings according any project modifications.
Easily export framing data to CNC machines for prefabrication with one of our dedicated exporters (sold separately).
Note: Our software is not suitable for designing structures made of hot-rolled steel (HRS), mild steel, structural steel, universal columns and beams, or other heavy-gauge steel.
Key benefits of Metal Collection
Automation of light-steel framing design and documentation. Achieve faster turnaround times, keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
Flexible framing components. Take advantage of sample framing families by easily adjusting web, flange, thickness and other parameters.
Accurate Revit models. Minimize errors and rework with reliable 3D modeling for material estimation, planning, and execution.
Error reduction. Automated updates and rule-based modifications ensure consistency.
MEP clash detection. Avoid MEP clashes by model LGS frames around duct and pipe openings.
Improved collaboration. A single source of truth enhances communication and workflow integration reducing misinterpretations.
