Our StrukkoSteel design software offers an advanced, comprehensive solution for the design and fabrication of light gauge steel framing.
It is powerful, intuitive and reduces multi-step processes into a single integrated solution making it easy to use and ideal for residential and light commercial construction.
Our StrukkoSteel design software is capable of designing virtually any construction element from walls, roofs and ceilings to floors, gable panels and overhang outlookers.
Powerful and versatile, it interprets architectural designs into steel panel designs and assemblies ready to run on our specialised rollforming machine.
StrukkoSteel provides full visibility in the design process with default settings covering most design variables, with a 3D design tool that removes complicated outputs.
A defined set of properties allows you to accurately develop a model with ease and removes the need for complicated inputs – one adjustment ensures everything else will still fit.
We’ve incorporated our StrukkoLayout software with StrukkoSteel to allow for consistent volume production without the need for specialist skills on the factory floor resulting in faster and simpler plan layout design.
Using StrukkoSteel, you can design complex multi-level or split-level buildings with subsequent automatic frame generation.
There’s no need to import 3D DXF files from architecture or CAD software. However, if required, it can import a DXF floor plan from Chief Architect, ArchiCAD or AutoCAD to quickly generate a wall from an architect’s electronic plans.
