Are connection tolerances, cutbacks, and track deflection gaps slowing down your light gauge steel (LGS) production or creating costly rework?

For professionals designing, detailing, or manufacturing LGS panels, precision at the connection level is essential. Small modeling decisions can significantly impact constructability, fabrication accuracy, and overall project efficiency.

Join us for a technical webinar focused on improving connection accuracy and production-ready modeling using Strucsoft Metal for Revit

What You Will Learn

In this live session, Burhan Bustillos-Francis will demonstrate how to leverage advanced tools to model LGS framing connections with greater control and reliability.

You’ll learn how to apply advanced cutback controls, manage track deflection gaps, and use the new tolerance tool so your models better reflect real-world fabrication conditions. By aligning design intent with manufacturing requirements, you can reduce coordination issues, streamline panel production, and improve workflow efficiency.

Whether you're working on prefabricated wall panels, modular systems, or large-scale building projects, this session will provide practical techniques to help you produce more accurate framing models and documentation directly from your Revit® environment.

  • Understand how cutback controls affect connection accuracy, panel assembly, and fabrication workflows.
  • Apply deflection gaps and track tolerances to accommodate structural movement and installation conditions.
  • Utilize the new tolerance tool in Strucsoft Metal to improve modeling precision and reduce coordination conflicts.
  • Streamline the transition from design models to manufacturing-ready outputs, including shop drawings, cut lists, and CNC data.

This webinar is eligible for 1 CEU/AIA Learning Unit.
