If no red errors appear, the API is successfully installed and recognized. You are now ready to communicate with cadwork.
Think of the standard cadwork interface as a manual gearbox. The API is the robotic arm that can shift gears a thousand times per minute without fatigue. You write code once and run it on hundreds of projects, ensuring consistency and speed. cadwork api
The CADwork API has a wide range of applications across various industries, including: If no red errors appear, the API is
Instead of manually drawing complex joinery or repetitive framing layouts, the API allows you to build parametric scripts. By defining inputs such as span, pitch, and timber dimensions, the script automatically calculates geometric intersections and places elements with millimeter precision. 2. Automated Joinery and Processing The API is the robotic arm that can
The API is organized into structured modules that mirror the software's workflow. Common modules include:
While Cadwork has built-in collision checks, the API allows you to write custom validation scripts. For example, you can write a script that checks if screw spacings comply with Eurocode 5 or North American NDS standards, highlighting non-compliant elements before they reach the factory. 4. Custom IFC Data Mapping
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) projects require precise panel layout and hardware positioning. Companies use the Cadwork API to automatically distribute fixing brackets, screws, and lifting anchors along panel joints based on structural engineering rules, saving days of manual drafting.
