This is an introduction to MetalOpt’s basic functions along with some information on the interaction between MetalOpt and the CADDtools Data Exchange program. The videos below will show MetalOpt optimizing curtain wall and storefront material. Refer to CADDtools.com for a more detailed procedure showing the complete video series on the CADDtools Data Exchange program.
A little information on my background and the sample project you will see in the videos. I work in the Architectural aluminum and glazing field, I use these programs to create fabrication cut lists automatically from my approved shop drawings.
This is a demonstration using the MetalOpt material cut list program. This video will show the functions one can use to optimize the curtain wall extrusions from the sample project. Some of the key features will be creating new sheets and optimizing multiple extrusions at one time. For more information about purchasing MetalOpt go the Purchase tab above.
I will use MetalOpt to manipulate the Excel data by creating fabrication (Fab) sheets and adding individual Tags’ then I will export the TAG information back into AutoCAD. For more information about purchasing MetalOpt go the Purchase tab above.
