You bring the plan, we do the rest
Open your DXF file; the program finds walls, doors and windows. Narration in Turkish.
From your DXF plan to wall panels, in three steps
Create architecture from plan recognises the walls, doors and windows in your plan, and builds the wall panels once you choose height, sections and corner bracing.
The DXF plan opens with its rooms
Doors and windows snap to their walls
Panels built with studs, lintels and bracing
What is Create architecture from plan?
A command that turns a floor plan drawn in general-purpose CAD into light steel wall panels. The program reads the plan, finds walls and openings, and builds the model as you confirm them. In the sample house it recognised 15 walls (6 outer, 9 inner), 5 doors and 8 windows, and built 10 panels, the longest 10.90 m.
Open the plan
Choose the DXF file or pick it from the drawing. Binary DXF, MLINE, ELLIPSE, SPLINE and dynamic blocks are read.
Check the unit
If the outer dimension is right, move on; if not, pick mm, cm or m and the walls are found again.
Confirm walls and openings
Click a wall to select it and correct the opening's type and position right there.
Choose sections and corner bracing
Height, outer and inner wall sections; corner bracing None, Zigzag or K.

The summary line shows how many panels will be built. When a panel is rebuilt with Ctrl+R, braces stay in place.

All contact channelsCan I open DWG?
The program does not read DWG. Save the file as DXF in AutoCAD and open it.
Does corner bracing affect the structure?
Yes: corner bracing adds wall steel, about 9% with Zigzag and 6.5% with K in the sample house. Brace adequacy is for the project engineer to approve.
