Timber Construction CAD

Getting started with 3D design

Dietrich's Timber Construction CAD Lite lets you create a complete building model comprising roof areas, walls and ceilings. This product clearly focuses on the roof and the roof construction.
Dialogues in carpenter's style take care of all the necessary entries to obtain a detailed 3D model of the desired construction simply, reliably and quickly.

At the touch of a button, you can generate the required data: fully dimensioned and labelled plans (dynamically linked to the 3D model), measurement and material lists as well as a 3D web viewer model for builders, production and assembly.

Needless to say, a fully-fledged 2D drawing program is also available for drawing freely or for perfecting the automatically generated plans according to all requirements and wishes.

Unrestricted 3D design

In Timber Construction CAD Basic, the input options for the roof design are complemented with Dietrich's free construction.

With this software solution, there are no limits to the versatility of design planning.

No matter how large or small, coarse or fine, customised or standardised, everything can be solved optimally with the combination of joinery modules and free construction.

Individually configurable automation ensures efficient and needs-based work.

3D design for entire buildings

Dietrich's Timber Construction CAD Professional leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to roof joinery and paves the way for the input of any wall construction.

Dietrich's Timber Construction CAD Professional leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to roof joinery and paves the way for the input of any wall construction.

No matter how complex, roof modelling is easily realised with powerful tools. Once the roof automatisms have been maxed out, the free design takes over the last few per cent for perfect work planning.

On top of the unrestricted input of all walls of the building, Timber Construction CAD Professional provides a separate modelling section for entering the wall construction. Optimised for quick and easy creation of all timber, panels, insulation, fittings and other wall components, including all processes, the wall construction is child's play.

3D design: efficient, automatic, serial

Dietrich's Timber Construction CAD Professional Plus leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to roof joinery and paves the way for the input of any wall construction enhances your possibilities with powerful and sophisticated automatisms.

Roof modelling, no matter how complex, is easily carried out with powerful tools and the Free Design takes care of the last few per cent for perfect work preparation.

On top of the unrestricted input of all walls of the building, Timber Construction CAD Professional Plus provides a separate modelling section for entering the wall construction.

Design in Dietrich's can start off directly based on an architectural model in the professional timber construction environment with the IFC import interface for importing the building model from other planning programs.

The product is topped off with extensive automatic functions. The stud frame for timber frame walls is generated automatically at the touch of a button based on detailed specifications and detailed designs. In this way, it is possible to design wall corners, wall joints, window openings and recesses quickly and reliably and, in the case of changes, a suitable recalculation is sufficient.

Uncompromisingly and efficiently designed timber structures

If you want unrestricted use of all these powerful digital tools from Dietrich's: Timber Construction CAD Premium!

This product comprises the premium versions of all Dietrich's technologies. You have access to all roof features and Free Design. The wall guidelines Premium module is also included for timber frame construction, which can be used to create not just one layer of stud frame, but up to fifteen layers of bar and/or panel components. Using this technology, paired with a sophisticated system of variables and conditions, the user can achieve an extremely high degree of automatic wall allocation and thus massively shorten the time required for design in work preparation.

The production of ceilings and roof surfaces element by element has also been integrated into the Timber Construction CAD Premium product. The included software modules provide the appropriate partitioning, organisation and automatic component allocation of the elements.

Various import and export interfaces complete the Timber Construction CAD Premium product to ensure the smoothest possible collaboration within and outside the timber construction business. The user can get the maximum benefit from their digital design with this configuration.

Simple, intuitive, customised

What if the structural planning in CAD/CAM is not only centred on roof/wall/ceiling, but also involves other types of timber constructions and the focus is on simple and intuitive operation? Then Free Design Basic is the right choice for you!

As the name suggests, Free Design Basic offers completely free 3D design, if desired with the help of so-called work layers. There are many options for creating components and machining operations, and the degree of automation can be scaled up individually. Several levels of freely configurable organisational levels ensure that there are no gaps in the required structure despite the absence of building elements. Due to the focus on free design as the only model domain, beginners will find the program somewhat easier to use than the products in the Timber Construction CAD series.

The product is completed by the possibility of exporting a 3D web viewer model. And where else, if not in free design, do we need the most informative presentations of complex models and solutions?
