The primary application is in light frame woods and heavy timber construction: The Architectural design, structural engineering, and construction carpentry phases are supported with novel features for glue laminated timber and stairs[1]

With a commitment to opensource ideals, cadwork viewers are free and thus providing an inclusive environment for collaboration across project stakeholders through model navigation features, such as zoom, pan, and print: the freeware version does not allow modifying a file. Three file types define the level of sophistication implemented through the model.

  • .2d, .2dc (2 dimensions drawing)
  • .3d, .3dc (3 dimensions drawings)
  • .2dv (parametric elements)

Following an international shift towards open-source software standards, cadwork is IFC compatible (Industry Foundation Classes) with several certifications, such as IFC 2x3 (Import ISO/PAS).[2]
