I am looking for a software that will allow us to take a 2D CAD plan, bring it into a software and build up the walls with the window and door openings and create buildable wall panels from the drawings. Ideally the walls drawn already have the framing generated and can be manually revised as needed.
I would like to be able to create layout sheets with framing plan, elevation, dimensions, and material schedules for each wall panel. I also need to be able to export a cut list (.csv/excel spreadsheet) from the software so I can send to a machine that will know what, how many, and how long of lumber to cut.
Is Revit capable of executing this, or any other AutoDesk software? I have attached an example of what I would like to create.
Thank you.
Excellent, thank you!
Do you know of a video or tutorial that deals with this issue at all? I know Revit but never dealt with the framing/wall panel aspect of the software.
I don't know what your level of experience is, but the capabilities your seeking are accomplished through Revit using Assemblies. But getting their will require some work. There's no magic.
The paneling can be done quite easily in Revit by any of the methods: wall reveals, divide walls to parts, curtain walls.
The framing can also be done in Revit, but not as easily: curtain mullions, parametric array family, or manually array framing member.
If your job is creating the framing layout on the daily basis then you may also want to look at these:

It can be done, and the tools listed above certainly help, but I don't want you to leave here thinking that there is a magic button that converts 2D Autocad drawings into finished framing plans. You can get the process down and become relatively efficient with it, but only after plenty of practice that will include a lot of swearing.
