I have a light gauge metal framing project for usa clients.

 

 

 

I want to know what will be the best practices for creating shop drawings. And which software will be useful

This is a very open question.  If you were looking for a manufacturing related solution you could use Inventor but if using a more Structural bias the most OOTB solution would be Advanced Steel as this creates Fabrication drawings as normal but is more AutoCAD driven which some are trying to move away from for if you as specifically looking as Revit as a solution at this time shop drawings can be created using assemblies but are not as automated as Advanced Steel so you would be looking at an addin to assist with this at an additional cost - there are a few on the market but AGACAD sticks out from memory.
