About Cadwork and it's Team
Cadwork - the Reference in Wood Construction

Cadwork has been in continous development since 1980 and is the market leader for CAD/CAM solutions in the
wood-building industry.
With over 4200 clients and more than 8500 licenses in the field of wood construction alone, Cadwork can substantially
cover all sections of this market.
Our clients exist in most European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and other
parts of the world. Our international presence and expertise guarantee a solid investment. Our clients have different
needs but all have the same goal: quick, safe and cost-effective planning, fabrication and assembly.
Thousands of wood projects like timber frames, prefabricated panels, modular homes, log constructions, solid wood
walls, CLT/SIP, glulam and any desired hybrid combination as well as innovative engineered wood constructions, have
already been designed worldwide using Cadwork.
Our 3D software can manage all these systems in an automated fashion and as detailed as needed. As a direct result of
this planning and automation, the manufacturing stage becomes easier. With Cadwork, the ability to see the entire
project in 3D, greatly assists problem solving.
Cadwork enables the user to send production data directly from the building information model (BIM) to the current
machining centers and/or assembly lines. Projects will be automatically prefabricated and built virtually to the last
detail. Convenient features like the ability to generate assembly drawings, bills of material, shop and installation
drawings, give small firms the opportunity to work economically on turnkey packages.
Cadwork is easy to learn and very logical. After completing basic training, the user can start working successfully on
projects.
The student version is a full Standard Timberpack that runs for the entire education period and can be extended to
6 months in most schools. There is a one-time charge of 100$ to enroll in the student program, please visit our website
for more information.

Tutorial Goal / "How it Works"
Tutorial Goal
The main goal of this V25 "Mass Timber Tutorial" is to help one get started with Cadwork. The series of video and the
manual that goes with it are covering 4 different topics:
1. Basics in Cadwork
2. Drawing a Mass Timber Project in 3D
3. How to Organize/Navigate in the File and Extract Data
4. How to Deal with External Files
After the tutorial, one should normally be able to start working on small projects without many problems. Of course,
continual usage of the software and the resultant experience is what makes the biggest difference.
"How it Works"
During the tutorial, one should have this manual in hand and watch the videos. The videos are of course giving
step-by-step directions, but the manual is adding important information such as dimensions, views and details...
To follow the tutorial, you will need to have an active Cadwork license (Professional Timberpack). Please contact us or
visit our website for licensing questions.
Also, you will need an audio headset, a 3-button mouse (Left, Middle, Right) and a computer with at least the following
specs:
Processor:
A recent and fast Intel i5, i7 is recommended.
Graphics Card:
All the latest Nvidia and AMD graphics cards are normally supported. For CAD use, the Quadro line is recommended.

About the Exercise de fi n e d !
With the exercise presented here, we wanted to cover the Cadwork part in a typical Mass Timber project . The videos
will cover the very basics of the software, to exporting files and extracting data for fabrication. In addition, the videos
will show how to present a 2d layout from a complete and detailed 3D file.
The videos will work through an example 24'x16' 2 story structure which includes CLT, Glulam and various types of
connectors. The double-pitch roof on the building is a significant challenge for a beginner. Hopefully, all of the tools
shown in the videos will simplify the drawing process.
As mentioned above, the building utilises multiple connections; tenons/mortises, Knapp connectors, custom
steel plates with tight fit pins, shear keys, welded heavy steel assemblies, more...
Of course, drawing the model is only one big step in the exercise. After drawing the model, it is important to organize it
into different attributes and functions before using all the export tools in Cadwork 3d to produce the 2D plans and move
to fabrication.
In brief, this exercise here is a good simulation for a typical Mass Timber project that would be done by a
manufacturer or an architect.
A "TallWood Design Institute" Collaboration

This project was organized in collaboration with the Tallwood Design Institute. The Tallwood Design Institute was
launched by Oregon State University (OSU) and the University of Oregon in 2016. It is currently one of the nation's top
research collaborative centers focusing on the advancement of structural wood products. Housed at the OSU College of
Forestry, in collaboration with the OSU College of Engineering and University of Oregon College of Design, the Institute
brings together the top wood products and sustainable design programs in the U.S.
Cadwork Montreal has partnered with the Tallwood Design Institute to contribute this training module as part of TDI's
