Description
BentStudio serves as an online platform for designing timber and log structures, catering to various projects ranging from small garden sheds and pergolas to larger cabins, workshops, and timber barns.
- Create your design: begin with a choice of timber-frame, post-and-beam, or dovetail log-wall configurations. Adjust measurements, sections, roof shapes, trusses, dormers, and lean-tos while the model reflects your changes in real time.
- Review your project: seamlessly transition between 3D views, floor plans, and elevation sketches. Examine details closely, focusing on joints, notches, supports, and individual components.
- Prepare for construction: save different versions of your project and generate a PDF drawing package complete with timber lists, cutting coordinates, and a modifiable project file.
Accessible through a desktop browser, BentStudio also offers an offline HTML download option. The cost is a one-time payment of CAD $199 for a single Studio license, with no recurring fees involved.
It’s important to note that BentStudio functions solely as a design and layout tool, rather than a structural engineering service. This makes it an ideal choice for creatives looking to bring their timber building visions to life without the complexities of engineering calculations.
Description
DraftVano is an online tool designed for timber framing and cut-list planning tailored to the needs of DIY enthusiasts, woodcraft artisans, and small-scale workshops. It features six customizable project builders for various structures, including media walls, garage storage systems, workbenches, bookcases, BBQ island frameworks, and sauna constructions, allowing for measurements in both millimeters and inches, alongside 3D visualizations and estimates for the quantity of boards required. Users have the option to access fixed-size PDF templates and purchase tailored blueprint PDFs, with additional planning guidance available for those opting for the M-04 service. A complimentary one-dimensional timber cut-list calculator is provided, which accepts inputs such as piece lengths, quantities, stock lengths, blade kerf, and end allowances, generating recommended board layouts and offering outputs in CSV format, printable files, and shareable links without necessitating user registration. Each calculation focuses on a single timber section and stock length, and while its heuristic approach aims to optimize layouts, it does not ensure a globally optimal minimal waste configuration. It's important to note that DraftVano emphasizes planning and material estimation, while it does not provide structural certification or support for two-dimensional sheet nesting and CNC/DXF production. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to streamline their woodworking projects without the complexities of professional-grade software.
