Cadwork Api

As demonstrated in industry practice, specialized firms (such as Design-to-Production) utilize the Cadwork API to build tailored solutions for complex free-form timber projects.

Let's look at a practical code example. The cadwork API organizes functionalities into "controllers." For example, element_controller handles element selection, and geometry_controller handles dimensions.

Data silos are the enemy of efficiency. The Cadwork API allows developers to build custom plugins that connect Cadwork directly with other corporate software: cadwork api

Cadwork API is a powerful interface designed primarily for the timber construction, architecture, and engineering sectors. Since version 27, it has opened up significant automation possibilities by allowing users to script directly in C++ interface Cadwork Documentation How the API Empowers Users

Python has become the standard for cadwork automation. Let's explore how to set up and use it.
