keithg Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Digital Canal has a program that calculates and estimates from cad drawings creating materials lists, and supposedly has a function that will show the people in the field exactly how long and what angles (according to the pitch) to cut roof rafters, including hips and valleys. I own a small design/build company that needs a program just like i explained. I found some info at their website, http://www.digitalcanal.com/design.shtml . but cant find any reviews or outside information other than that on their site. I am wondering if anyone has any information, or links, or reviews about this company and program in particular. If not, what other programs can i create my drawings, accurately calculate materials lists, and give me the power to create exact cut lists, ie, rafter lengths, and angles.

pcote4 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I believe that the program Softplan (http://www.softplan.com) is the type of program that you are looking for. I haven't used it, but I looked at it quite awile ago when I was active in construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
