Your workflows just got faster—we’ve rolled out Strucsoft for Revit 2026 (Version 2.43, Build 9484).
Our newest software release is designed to eliminate manual steps, improve model accuracy, and support scalable construction, from design through fabrication.
Download it today by heading to your client portal.
Create Tool Update & New Workflow
We’ve restructured the process for creating new panels from Revit walls to make it more intuitive and flexible:
Properties Preview Window:
After selecting Revit wall(s) and clicking Create, a new Properties Preview window opens.
- Allows toggling between layers to assign settings. Layers with no thickness are automatically filtered out.
Default Templates & Layer Management:
- Structural layer defaults to the appropriate template (LGS for Suite/Metal/Metal+, Wood for Strucsoft Wood).
- Secondary and Sheathing templates can be assigned to Finish and Substrate layers
- Substrate and Finish layers will be automatically set to None by default, but you can assign a template to them before creating the panel.
Template Assignment:
- Use the Template button to open the Template Manager and assign existing templates per layer.
- If not assigning any existing template, the panel will generate using the Default Structural template.
Smart UI Behavior:
When working on Structural layer, Sheathing/Secondary options are disabled, and vice versa.
Existing Panels:
- Selecting an existing panel and opening Properties Preview now shows panel name/number.
- Modifications are layer-specific and maintain the same intuitive workflow.
- Make sure to unlock the layer you would like to modify first.
Result: Panels are generated based on selected templates or default settings, ensuring consistency and flexibility.
Modify Structural Templates from Template Map
Modify Structural Templates directly from the Multilayer Template Map.
When clicking in Modify, the new Properties with Preview window will open. You can modify any features and update your template from this window, without the need to select a real panel in the project.
This update will make template creation and update easier and following the same principles of the Secondary and Sheathing templates.
Modify Generated Tool Updates
You can now move, add new members and/or add extensions without the need to regenerate the panel.
A warning will be prompted asking users if they wish to regenerate the panel or not.
Please keep in mind that if there is any blocking in the panel, the horizontal member will only be updated if panel is regenerated.
Add Setting Only to First and Last Bay of Panel
New option in Horizontals to add blocking/horizontal members to only first and/or last bay of your panel. The settings can be saved in your template.
Wall Analysis
The Wall Analysis feature introduces the first step toward comprehensive design and analysis of wall panels within MWF. It allows users to:
- Add Loads: Apply various load types, including live load, dead load, partial load, and wind load.
- Visualize Analysis Lines: See analysis lines generated by MWF for better insight into structural performance.
- Integration with Advanced Design: When running Wall Analysis, data is seamlessly transferred to Advanced Design for detailed calculations.
Note: Advanced Design must be installed to finalize wall analysis.
Currently, this feature supports simple panels for both wood and light gauge steel (LGS) without built-up sections.
The next phase will expand capabilities to handle complex panels, including built-up sections and bearing beams/headers.
Opening Markers with Dynamic Preview
A live preview is now available for Default Opening Markers (Wood and LGS) and Truss Header Symmetrical V (LGS only).
Floor Trusses Updates
New updates will enable users to automatically generate perpendicular floor trusses (Track Trusses) along the edges of a floor panel, following the floor profile where rim tracks would normally be placed. This enhancement ensures that floor truss panels include both joist trusses and track trusses, improving structural accuracy and customization.
New Floating Licenses
New and renewing customers will now receive a network cloud-based floating license. This license is automatically released when the user closes Revit, allowing it to be activated on another machine without requiring manual release or deactivation.
