Getting Started

Introduction

CNC Exporter Cloud is an additional option within Agacad’s existing software-based CNC Exporters. The key difference between the two versions of CNC Exporters is that the cloud-based platform offers a more flexible approach to exporting the framing elements of Revit models to CNC machines. (Important to know is that all our CNC Exporters – whether cloud-based and software-based – only work with Revit models created using Agacad’s Metal Framing and Wood Framing software.)

Unlike the desktop version, CNC Exporter Cloud allows all team members to analyze BIM models simultaneously. And no longer constrained by Revit accessibility, professionals can more freely collaborate since there is no need to have Revit to view manufacturing data.

Available Exporters

The current CNC Exporter Cloud version is for metal frame data only. It supports these CNC metalworking project files:

Arkitech CSV
Howick CSV
