"At the core of the update is the Revit Wood Framing Toolbar, a free add-in currently available for beta testing. The toolbar makes it possible to optimize for offsite panelization and to explore how offsite wood shops will frame walls and openings within Revit, without the need for specialized software."
"Rather than replicating the heavyweight capabilities of professional framing applications, this add-in serves as a flexible, easy-to-use option for studios that want to explore the parameters of panelized construction and the detailed benefits of wood framing."
"What makes the toolbar particularly useful is its compatibility with Revit's scheduling features. A more reliable estimate of materials can feed directly into broader studies - whether for carbon footprint analysis, cost projections, or life-cycle assessments."
Offsitewood.org v2.0 adds digital resources that help architects model, plan, and collaborate on offsite wood construction more efficiently. Free downloadable libraries remain a central and expanding feature, complemented by wood material e-sample viewers and a collaborative workspace for project optimization. The release includes an advanced panelization and framing toolbar for Revit offered as a free beta add-in to optimize panelization and simulate shop framing without specialized software. The toolbar integrates with Revit scheduling to produce more reliable material estimates for carbon footprint analysis, cost projections, and life-cycle assessments. Beta access is now open for testers.
