New Millennium Railings Drafting & Design

Introduces the all new Custom Railings 4 U

The Railing-Designer program and associated "Add-on Modules" below are for SALE.
Still in the "Design Phase" of programming DONE, DOWNLOAD DEMO BELOW!, this will be a great set-of-tools for drawing your railings "quickly & easily"!
Check back often to see the lastest updates & add-ons, because this program is developing rapidly...


Please note:
  This Railing Software is a BASE PROGRAM, and intended to be an example of how Drafting Automation can quickly & easily draw your railing designs and layouts.
The Railings are drawn from center-lines of end-posts, but the intention is to encourage companies to add additional programming of their choosing to enhance usability of this program for their own custom needs.
DMSS can add all the programming needed to adapt this program to your custom needs!
Anything that can be "hand-drawn" (and inserted) can be added!
Even components for "Mechanical-Rails" that "snap" to their repective locations "on-the-fly"!


Is there something you want in this progamming set?
Contact me and let me know what you'd like? It may already be in the works, if not, I'll concider adding it!

7-12-16 --- Added the Pitch & Degree Symbol. Shop drawings now have a pitch symbol at the top-right corner of the railing.
7-12-16 --- Added Rectangled & Round materials for Top-Rail, Post, Picket-Rail, Picket & Grab-Rail (Rectangled & Round Material added).
7-28-16 --- Getting really close to the finish of Rails4U. Most of the testing is done, just have to create the Demo and installation package.
(Then I have to install on a 2-3 computers and test everything!)

If there is enough interest in Rails4U, DMSS will continue the next version (V2.0) in this amazing automated railing program.
I've already started the next version, but decided to stop (to wait & see if anyone wants this type of programming!).
There are some exciting developments I've been working, but "we will see" if the 1st version generates interest...


  This is Prototype Programming that can be custom adapted to your company's version of products and ways of design.
Your parts, materials, fittings, mounts, anchors... All your parts drawn your way!
(including your colors, layers, linetypes, text-styles, & dim-styles).
  Generally this type of programming can produce all your Plans, Elevations, Sections & Detail views, along with all Shop drawings in under 5 minute or less!
Even create a B.O.M. (Bill-Of-Materials) as a data file that can be imported into Excel's spreadsheets!
Sample:  12-Rails-in-2-Minutes
The materials can be adapted to any type of metal, wood, plastic, composite or anything else you might require.

Please note:
  If you use mechanical parts (or blocks) to design your railings, ask about Drawing2Lisp_Converter Service!
This service can quickly convert mechanical railing drawings into programming code, then with some additional programming, it will draw your railings using your mechanical parts!
And it also converts your drawing Details (or any 2D Drawing/Detail) so they auto-update to current design specifications!
Complete Parametric programming quick & easy!
Example of a drawing conversion: Trash-Rack





If you've ever wanted your own Railing Software, this is the opportunity your looking for.
Don't delay...

Below are explinations of the different modes the software utilizes to automate Railing Drawings.
Videos of each Module in action follows the basic descriptions.

Base Program: Dialog Controlled.
  Users have 2 options for finding the lengths of the railings.
Option #1: Pick Lengths.
  Pick line end-points in plan-view to get the railing lengths from.
This means users can layout the job in plan-view, offset the lines to "post-centers", then pick those length, the railing are Auto-Drawn at a place the user chooses to have them drawn.
Railing are drawn as fast as the user can pick the end-point of the layout centers! (under the 1st railing)
When finished, simply type X to quit.
Reopen the dialog, click the OK button and start the drawing process again.
Please note:
With the Sloped Module addition, users enter the rise of each railing.

Option #2: Enter lengths.
  Select the option to enter railing length by typing them on the command-line.
Users pick where the Elevations are drawn, then successive railings are drawn under the 1st rail.
When finished, simply type X to quit.
Reopen the dialog, click the OK button and start the drawing process again.
Please note:
With the Sloped Module addition, users also have the option to pick a line that represents a stair nosing-line to find the rise & run of the railings.

  The plan-views show the current mounting option (top-mount, face-mount, side-mount or coredrill) as fast as you can blink!
While parametrically drawing & annotating the Elevation view.



There are also Modules that you can purchase that are designed to handle different functions:

Module #1: Data-Sets.
BIG TIMESAVER!
  Configure the dialog to one of your many railing application specifications, then save it.
To re-use it, simply open the saved data-set, it re-populates the dialog to the saved data!
With unlimited data capabilities, users can quickly configure many different railing designs, save them for later use, then simply open them change anything that needs changed, and the current designs are quickly drawn!

Module #2: Sloped Railings.
Easily Draw Sloped Railing.
  The Sloped module adds the ability to draw any sloped rail quickly.
The same options are still available to find the railing lengths as the Base Program.
The Sloped Module adds hundreds-and-thousands of variations to your designs!

Module #3: Bill-Of-Materials.
Easily draw railing that include a B.O.M.
  All parts include piece-mark, material description, length (in feet & inches), along with a description of each part!
The B.O.M. module adds the ability to draw rails and add the B.O.M. as fast as you can think!
As an added bonus, a comma-delimited file is created with all the current railing that are drawn!
This .txt file can be imported directly into Excel for unprecedented ease of use...
Please see the import to Excel video below (Update R5, Module #3).

Module #4: Rectangle Details.
Easily draw your Details with this new product!
  These Details are intended to be annotated to show materials, welds, fasteners, dimensions or whatever the condition needed to be shown.
There are 2 options for generating Details from your Layouts & Designs.
Option #1:
1/3 Detail Size.
(These Details are intended to be scaled up 3x for smaller items that need to be enlarged for clarity.)
Option #2:
Full Size.
(These are Full Size details to be annotated to show whatever the condition is you need to show)
Rec-Details in action.

This is currently what the program does.

Hello my Name is Dan Flemming,

  I'm an Independent Designer/Drafter/Detailer/Programmer.
I specialize in Stair & Railings.
I use AutoCAD for all my drawings and I also write programming to automate most of my drafting.
My drawings are very good, and I thoroughly check all my work.
  I have clients from all points in America (north, south, east & west).
I can quote from .pdf's and I send all my drawings using the same .pdf extension.
(I have clients that will give references upon request...)

  The bulk of my time is spent designing railing systems.
However, I also design & detail light structural.
All Approval Drawings are dependant on the materials being used and have a few pages of how the railing are welding and mounted, along with example railings to insure compliance of local, state and international codes.

When I'm not Designing/Detailing for my customers, I'm writing programming to help speed up my drafting!


  Overwhelmed? And Need to "Farm out" some of your work?
I can take care of the extra drafting for your company!


Component Railings?
  If you have a complete drawing library of component parts, I can incorporate them into automation programs that will create your product drawings quickly.
All library parts are strictly used for your (the client's) drawings and won't ever be shared with other fabricators or jobs that are not your own!

  The shop drawings I produce have a full B.O.M. of each materials used, lengths and even weights!
I can also deliver the B.O.M. for the whole job in a Text (.txt) or Excel (.xls) format.
Examples:
Railing Types (slide show)
Types of Railing Systems


Thousands of railing drawing examples upon request!


Check back often for other promotions...


  Don't forget to ask about Drawing2Lisp_Converter service.
Automated AutoCAD programming created from your own drawings.
So fast & cheap it will make your head spin!
That's "your drawings" automated your way!


Thanks for your interest.

Your only limit is your imagination!
