The Light Steel Framing Members 3D software has undergone a redesign to simplify the process of integrating light steel framing into your 3D models. With this updated software, users can quickly and easily add light steel framing to their 3D models by selecting multiple 3D lines to extrude the steel framing on.
To use the software, first, add the 3D lines for your steel framing model. Next, open the dialog box to select the steel framing type that you want to use in your model. Once you have selected the desired framing type, click "OK" to choose multiple lines for 3D extrusion of the shape.
To ensure that each shape is correctly oriented after extrusion, check the "Rotate Each" option. This feature allows you to rotate each shape individually, ensuring that your light steel framing is correctly aligned and positioned within your 3D model.
Overall, the Light Steel Framing Members 3D software offers a user-friendly and efficient way to add light steel framing to your 3D models, making it an ideal tool for architects, engineers, and designers looking to incorporate light steel framing into their projects.
