Coming Soon!
Currently, we have three streams from which you can download our wood products and a fourth in the works. The streams are Mass Timber Post and Beam, the Mass Timber Floor, and the Light Wood Framed Enclosure Streams.
Each Stream is a specific online catalogue for a particular wood product for which a user-defined filtered down selection can be made to then download directly in your Revit® project.
The About, Tutorials, and the Help Icons will take you directly to our resource web pages using your default web browser.
The About tab will open a secondary window with a quick synopsis about QWEB as well as their contact information. Hit Back to be taken to the previous window.
The Privacy Policy will take the user to a PDF document detailing the privacy policy of the Offsite Wood App.
The Tutorial tab will take the user to the Offsite Wood Tutorials page using the default web browser, where tutorial videos are available for viewing.
The Help tab will take the user to this PDF user guide document using the default web browser.
(Loadable vs System)
The Mass Timber Post and Beam streams will download either/and column Revit® families from our app directly into your Revit® project.
The Mass Timber Floors and the Light Wood Frame Enclosure streams will download Revit® system families (roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors) directly into your Revit® project.
For further information regarding Revit® families
The "Refresh" button will reset the window back to its default settings.
The "Load" button will load the user selected items directly into your Revit® project.
The "Back to Streams" button will take the user back to the starter window.
The "Search" Bar allows the user to input a query to search and retrieve related content from the stream database.
The "Clear Filter" icon allows the user to clear all default filters from the stream.
The filters are specific product attributes that will allow the user to refine our broad range of products into a more narrow comprehensive selection, allowing for the most relevant search results based on the user-defined criteria that are selected. Pre-selected default filters are selected. The goal is to achieve maximum product discoverability and to reduce navigation time.
The default filters are seen in the images below each filter category. A user can select one or more options within each filter.
