Vertex BD is an advanced building information modeling (BIM) software for wood and cold-formed steel framed residential and light commercial construction. Utilizing BIM technology, this stand alone software application maximizes productivity and accuracy by generating architectural and structural drawing sets, fabrication drawings, material reports, manufacturing data, and marketing renderings all from one source. It is a full architectural house design software, home building software, light commercial building software, frame detailing, and panel fabrication software, all packaged together.Vertex BD is a BIM (Building Information Modeling) software for cold-formed steel / light gauge steel construction. Vertex BD is primarily used as panel fabrication software by component manufacturers and panelizers. It is a rule based framing software which automates the process of generating wall and floor panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts, cut lists, and other material reports. By automating these processes, manufacturers are saving an enormous amount of time in drafting, material reporting, data entry, manufacturing, and correcting all the errors typically made along the way.
