New ENDUROCADD® Software Release

Header

We are very pleased to push out a new release of the ENDUROCADD® just prior to Christmas which includes the biggest change to the user interface in years with the addition of context sensitive menus and right click functions. Dominic & the team have been hard at work making this as user friendly as possible, and we have been seeing some big improvements in detailing times using these new tools.

A full description of this new functionality is contained on our Help site at this link.

In case you missed it, we have also recorded the online webinar on how to use these functions available for viewing at this link.

Both of these are highly recommended to fully understand how to take advantage of this new functionality which can greatly improve detailing times.

Inaugural ENDUROFRAME® Conference

Header

Last month, we held our inaugural ENDUROFRAME® conference which was held at Port Kembla with nearly 50 licensees from around the world attending.

The conference was an excellent opportunity to network, learn about steel framing, and also prioritise software development over the next 12 months.

A full list of presentations as well as the prioritised ENDUROCADD® software developments are listed here.

Upcoming Additions to the ENDUROCADD® software

There is a flurry of work happening within the ENDUROCADD® software which will be pushed out in 2017. Just a teaser of some of the new features are:-

  • The addition of a comprehensive materials quantity calculation tool and detailed pricing in the Materials Usage Report;
  • Design of the ENDUROFLOOR trusses. This has been a long time in the making but it is looking very good!
  • Import of wall frames from BIM models;
  • An improvement in the hip end rafter process;
  • Plus, many more which we are keeping up our collective sleeves!

Helpful tips

  • it is possible to create customised parts lists which are generated during the detail process. A full description of how to create these customised lists are contained at this link.
  • 3D dxf images can be exported from the ENDUROCADD® software. This can be done in 2 ways: either from the 3D viewer by going to File -> Export, or from within ENDUROCADD® by going to Toolkit -> Foreign CAD -> Export rendered view to DXF. In each case the current view will be exported. This is extremely helpful when trying to get structural steel layouts which can be exported into structural steel detailing packages. 
  • We have a poster which can be printed out and laminated which contains all of the standard truss connection drawings. This is very handy to put next to fabricators to refer to when assembling trusses. These very useful sheets can be downloaded from here.
