With the introduction of Gang-Nail’s new iPanel software, designers can now take their drafting to the next level. Previously, only able to design floors and roofs trusses, the Gang-Nail Software Suite now allows designers to draft all aspects of a house with the introduction of timber frame panel drafting.
The iPanel software solution provides new tools to ensure maximum efficiency and accuracy for timber frame panel designers. This new software is a robust panel drafting tool that manages all the information needed to draft, estimate, manufacture and install wall panels.
The seamless integration between iPanel and the Gang-Nail Software Suite helps designers frame buildings quickly, per builder specification, with minimal effort. It contains a complete set of tools to create, detail, review, and change panels easily. The User-friendly interface allows designers to quickly add or modify virtually any panel framing condition. The panel creation process is simplified by allowing designers to visually identify specific wall properties and apply modifications efficiently and rapidly, saving time and eliminating errors.
Gang-Nail’s workflow from STITCHER® to iPanel is uniquely powerful in its ability to produce rapid, accurate quotes and enables users to frame a house to exact specifications with minimal manual manipulation. Using iPanel with STITCHER® can help panel designers save up to 75% of their input time by taking 2D plans to 3D models, making processes like capturing walls and openings faster.
Using iPanel and STITCHER® in conjunction with ITW Construction Products Offsite’s new award-winning Gang-Nail Truss Frame walls, designers can now get a complete panel creation solution from one brand. Known as the innovative alternative to traditional timber frame walls, Gang-Nail Truss Frame is a system of standardised wall elements prefabricated offsite, that combine into larger modules on-site. The Gang-Nail Truss Frame wall elements are made up of timbers pressed together at the joints using Gang-Nail metal nail plates, resulting in improved wind loads compared with traditional timber frame walls sheathed with OSB.
Together iPanel, STITCHER® and Gang-Nail Truss Frame provide a unique complete panel solution that offers confidence, optimised efficiency and incredible timesaving opportunity when creating a complete layout.
