"Powerful, Intuitive and Feature Rich: adiFrames"

"I have tried numerous programs that were supposed to make drawing curtain wall elevations easier and this is the first one that actually does. The elevations look the way I want them and not the way the programmer wants them to look." - Paramount Drafting

Storefront and Curtainwall Frame Builder

adiFrames is the Automatic 2D Storefront and Curtainwall Frame generation add-on for AutoCAD.

adiFrames gives AutoCAD the ability to automatically create precise 2D Storefront and Curtainwall frames in preparation of Glass and Glazing Shop Drawings with no training required.

Complete Control
Layers, Dimension Locations and Text Over-Rides are provided for the pickiest of drafters who want the ultimate control of their layers, dimension styles and text label dimension over-rides.

Custom Frames
All frames are not created equal.  Switch to manual mode and click center points in model space to create any size opening horizontally and vertically.

Glass Tags & Lists
Once the frame is created, use the included glass tool to automatically create glass labels and glass lists with user controlled bite sizes.  Your glass is now ready to order, no more manual calculations or mistakes in your glass lists.  Save time and money!

Sections
Sections are included along with every elevation to speed up your shop drawing production for anchoring locations and plan insertion.

Details
adiFrames has you ready for the next step, detailing.  Our detail sets are the perfect beginning to any detail job.  All Details have been corrected from the manufacturer with perfect polylines, correct layers, annotative dimensions and part labeling leaders.  All details sets can be modified to satisfy your style and company requirements.  Dimension and leader styles are update-able with the AutoCAD update command.  Once saved, your part is your style, every time.  Included at the time of purchase are three (3) details sets of your choice.  Detail sets can also be user created or requested and added individually.
