D-CAD Lite / Carpentry & Timber-frame modelling

Description

Dietrich’s, software for timber construction and traditional 3D carpentry. It allows you to estimate and produce all the 2D plans required for fabrication and enables 3D export. Easy modelling of carpentry and timber-frame worksites thanks to fast input tools. Results are generated easily thanks to icons and functions specially designed for producing lists and drawings: dimensioned and annotated plans (dynamically linked to the 3D model). Quantity takeoffs and materials lists as well as calculation notes. A 2D drawing tool allows free drawing and customization of automatically generated plans. Includes a 3D export tool in HTML format compatible with most web browsers (PC / tablet / smartphone). - Project management by floors. - Creation of multi-layer walls with openings. Construction of beams and panels with joints. E.g.: Timber frame / Post-and-beam / CLT etc. - Automatic dimensioning, descriptions and hatching of walls and openings. - Creation of multi-layer floors. Integration of openings of all shapes. Construction of beams and panels with joints. - Creation of multi-layer roofs up to arches and shells with management of openings and dormers. Automatic roof connections.
