What you get from one configuration
Qframe turns the main decisions about an industrial building into a 3D structural model you can change at any time.

Parameters
Spans, frame spacing, eaves and ridge heights, roof shape, socle and panel settings. Each one is a field in the side panel, grouped the way an engineer would think about the building.
Live 3D model
Every change is solved by the structural engine and redrawn in 3D: columns, trusses, bracing, wall and roof panels, with grid axes and levels as on a drawing.
Gates
Add gates to the walls and see them in the model.
Quantities and bill of materials
After solving, Qframe prepares the quantities and a bill of materials from the same model you see in 3D.
Saved projects
In the full version, projects are saved to your account, so you can come back any time and reconfigure. Saving is not part of the demo.
The engine behind it
Qframe is not a drawing tool with a 3D viewer on top. Behind every model is a parametric structural engine that applies engineering rules to the parameters you set and returns the frame, a simplified first sizing of its members and the quantities.
One main frame: 4 spans (18 + 18 + 16 + 15 m), monopitch, alternated roof, eaves +10.000, high side +13.000, ground ±0.000. Columns on every axis carry one roof truss per span.
What Qframe covers today
Qframe covers steel-frame warehouses and industrial halls: columns, roof trusses, bracing, wall and roof panels and gates. It gives a first sizing for early decisions, not a final design. An engineer still checks and develops the structure.
Questions and answers
What do I get from Qframe?
A 3D structural model of the building, a simplified first sizing of the members, and quantities with a bill of materials, all from the same model.
How accurate is it?
It is built for early decisions. The sizing is a first, simplified one, and the quantities follow from it. A design for construction needs an engineer's full design and checks.
Which buildings does it cover?
Steel-frame warehouses and industrial halls, with columns, roof trusses, bracing, wall and roof panels and gates. Tell us which types or materials we should look at next.
What does the demo include?
A starting building where you can change the spans, the frame count and the roof shape, and see the 3D model and quantities. Saving projects, comparing options and export are not part of the demo.
