The Vertex Light Gauge Steel Framing System generates all the framing information for walls, floors, and roofs for light Gauge steel buildings. For roofs the system will generate detailed rafter schedules and cut lists or dimensioned truss profile drawings that can then be printed or transferred to separate truss design and engineering systems such as Truss D & E.
Detailed framing drawing, schedules and cut lists are automatically generated with framing rules that can be set be each company. Because the system models each framing element, additional tolerances can be defined by the user and included in material length calculations.

The system also allows the user to include additional structural elements such as diagonal bracing, backers, tie-downs, etc., quickly and easily. These elements can be included automatically as part of the system defaults settings or the use can add or modify them interactively as required. This information is represented both graphically on the construction documents and also on the comprehensive material lists.

The system automatically tracks framing material quantities, lengths, locations, and uses in the structure. For manufactured building companies the system can automatically panelize walls and floors and generate complete production drawings and documentation.
