Wood Framing Automation for Autodesk® Revit®
Wood framing that keeps up with the model.
FlowFraming builds precise wood and timber stud and joist framing for walls and floors inside Autodesk® Revit®. Frame from your own rules, let it re-frame itself when the model changes, then pull a cut list and dimensioned shop drawings when you are done.
- 01Rule-based wall & floor framing
- 02Automated framing updates on every edit
- 03Customizable, reusable framing presets
- 04One-click cut lists & bill of materials
- 05Dimensioned shop-drawing sheets for walls & floors
Automated Wall Stud Framing in Revit
Every member, where it belongs
FlowFraming places studs, plates, rims, blocking and openings from your predefined configurations, and keeps everything coordinated, all without leaving Revit, from early design through detailing.
- Studs at any on-center spacing, with top & bottom plates
- Clean T-stud intersections and L-corner geometry
- Automatic headers & trimmers around openings
- Openings framed from the real rough opening, not the nominal size
Automatic Floor Joist Framing & Layout
Joists, rims and openings
Frame any floor from its span direction. FlowFraming lays out joists at your on-center spacing, packs rim members along every edge, and builds headers and trimmers around openings, with blocking placed perpendicular to the span wherever you need it.
- Joists at any on-center spacing, along the span direction
- Up to four rim members on the side, start and end edges
- Headers & trimmers around rectangular & L-shaped openings
- Blocking rows placed perpendicular to the joists
Framing That Auto-Updates With Your Revit Model
The model moves, the lumber follows
Move a wall, resize a floor or add an opening, and the framing reframes itself automatically. Blocking re-snaps to the nearest member, so no detail is overlooked at any stage.
- Auto-update keeps lumber in sync with the model
- Or refresh on demand with Update Framing
- Copied elements reset cleanly and re-frame fresh
Reusable Framing Presets by Revit Wall & Floor Type
Your standards, saved for good
Map your Revit wall and floor types to framing presets and FlowFraming preloads the right configuration the moment you select an element. Adjust spacing, offsets and blocking, flip the layout start, shift members, then export it all to a clean Excel cut list.
- Reusable type presets, saved for future projects
- Shift studs/joists & flip O.C. layout start
- One-click BOM & cut-list to Excel, no add-ins needed
Dimensioned Shop Drawings & Assembly Views
From model to shop drawings
Turn any framed wall or floor into a full set of dimensioned shop drawings in one click. FlowFraming builds the assembly views, elevations, plan detail, sections, 3D, part list and material takeoff, on a sheet if you want one, then dimensions and labels them from reusable view presets.
- Elevations, plan, sections, 3D and schedules, per wall or floor
- One dimension chain per member type, measured from centers or faces
- Labels read any parameter; doubled members merge into “(2) 2x4 Top Plate”
- Re-dimension or re-tag whenever you like, the two delete separately

- License: sign in, start the trial, move your license to another PC
- Auto-update: walls and floors re-frame when they or their openings change
- Real rough openings: headers and trimmers sized from the actual opening
- Real Revit families: every member is normal structural framing in an assembly
- Live previews: dialogs draw a plan or section of what they will build
Built from real framing work, for people who frame in Revit every day
Every stud, plate, header and joist is a normal Revit framing member inside an assembly, so schedules, tags and quantities work the way you expect.
Move an opening or change a wall and the framing updates with it. Presets mapped to your wall and floor types keep your office standard.
Cut list and bill of materials to Excel, plus dimensioned assembly views and sheets for the shop.
One installer sets up every supported Revit version on the computer. Imperial and metric.
14-day free trial with all features. Then $299/year or $499 perpetual, taxes included.

More tools are on the way
FlowFraming Labs is building new Revit tools to cover more of the structural workflow, from framing to fabrication and design.
Divide walls and floors into sheathing or SIP panels, ready for layout and fabrication drawings.
Check framing members against loads directly from the Revit model.
Further tools for structural BIM and documentation are in the works.
