GWB Get wooden beams

GWB Get Wooden Beams, developed by Rcad Software, is a fantastic tool for professionals in the Photo & Graphics category, specifically within the 3D Design subcategory. For those designing structures from woodworking to complex buildings made from various materials, this program is a game changer. With its latest version 1.3, GWB offers excellent functionality for identifying rectangular wooden beams in 3D AutoCAD, DWG, or DXF drawings, a feature immensely useful for users of Autodesk AutoCAD.

The application is not just limited to files created directly within AutoCAD; it seamlessly integrates with files from other popular design programs like ArchiCAD, Chief Architect, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, and Tekla, among others. The ease with which users can gain accurate measurements and detailed drawings identifies GWB as a staple in the toolkit of any structural designer working with wood, concrete, and metal.

A standout feature of this compact yet powerful tool (its program file size is just 684 KB) is its ability to create detailed and numbered drawings of the identified wooden beams, complete with dimensions and positioning from an origin point. Moreover, it generates a file of quantities that can easily be loaded into EXCEL, enabling designers to efficiently manage lists of materials and prepare for construction. The output of this program can then be printed or adapted for further design work, making it an indispensable component in the workflow of structural design professionals.

GWB Get Wooden Beams is especially advantageous for those working in conjunction with furniture design software such as Rcad's FURNIT-Design. This compatibility extends the program's usability, making it valuable in a diverse range of design projects.
