GWB Get wooden beams | RCAD SOFTWARE, CAD-CAM SOFTWARE
An AutoCAD add-on that identifies wooden beams or timbers from 3D drawings of wooden houses, GWB is an application for AutoCAD. It serves to identify wooden rectangular beams from 3D AUTOCAD, DWG, or DXF drawings. Beams can be cut perpendicularly or nonperpendicularly to the ends. DWG or DXF files can be created directly in AutoCAD, or they can come from programs that can generate wood structures or from other materials (such as the software: ArchiCAD, Chief Architect, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Tekla, FURNIT, etc.). In fact, all parts (for example of concrete or other material) with a rectangular section of a 3D model of a building are identified. The result of the program is a drawing with the identified parts (numbered, dimensioned, and positioned from an origin) and a file of quantities that can be loaded into EXCEL. The identified pieces become entities that can be manipulated (modified, archived, or drawn) in the FURNIT program.
