HiStruct Roofs

Theplatform covers steel buildings, timber buildings, modular and container units,roofing systems, silos, and post-harvest processing lines. Each applicationfollows the same principle: fast 3D modeling, clear outputs, and easyquotation. Libraries can be extended so the catalogue reflects themanufacturer’s actual product offering.

HiStructcan run either as an embedded widget or as a standalone page under a company’sdomain. Colours, logos, and product names can be aligned with your brand,making the experience feel native. Public visitors can create basic designs andsend structured enquiries, while internal staff can open the same projects withadvanced tools for review and quoting. This setup ensures a single source oftruth from the first idea to the final handover and helps marketing teamsconvert website traffic into qualified leads without losing technical context.

Yes.The public view allows visitors to enter simple inputs and submit a request.Each submission includes geometry, product selections, and contact details,enabling fast and relevant responses. Leads can be automatically routed to the appropriate region or dealer.

HiStructprovides the usual deliverables needed by estimating and engineering teams. DXF is usedfor drawings that require light edits before release, while IFC offers a neutral 3D model formultidisciplinary coordination. Whenrequired, the team can add extra export variants or adjust metadata to matchdownstream systems. This keeps the handover predictable for both internal andexternal partners.

HiStructis built for real-world buildings rather than only textbook shapes. It hadleasymmetry, lean-tos, roof steps and other features that commonly and often appear in practice. Built-in rules ensure tidy outputs so installers and buyers see clearinformation. This helps teams move from concept to quotation without switching software tools.

HiStruct exposes a documented REST API. Leads and projects can be sent to a CRM, while approved bills of materials and documents can flow into ERP or production tools. Authentication and payloads are designed to be stable and secure. Webhooks or scheduled syncs are available where useful.

Commercials usually combine a one-off setup for branding, libraries and rules with an ongoing subscription. The subscription reflects scope and service level. When special logic, new components or deep integrations are needed, these are added as clearly defined extras so budgeting stays transparent.

HiStruct is primarily a 3D configuration and documentation tool. Many clients link it to their pricing rules or external CPQ. Where direct quoting is needed inside HiStruct, the team maps price lists and margins to the model so proposals reflect the manufacturer’s policy.

HiStructruns as a secure web application with controlled access. Personal and projectdata are processed in line with published policies. The team appliesleast-privilege principles and monitors access. Customer forms include consentnotices where applicable.

AR and VR views are supported on compatible devices. They help teams and customers understand space and options before a purchase. The same model also produces drawings, BOM and quote, which keeps presentation and documentation aligned.

DXF and PDF are available for drawings. IFC provides a neutral 3D model for coordination. For best results, regenerate outputs after each major change so files match the latest state. Many teams open DXF in AutoCAD or BricsCAD for light edits, while IFC is used in BIM viewers. Output templates can be adjusted so layers, fonts and naming suit company standards. If a project requires a special package structure, the team can prepare a custom export profile that users can select at quote time.

Yes. The structure options include thin-walled C-section variants, including paired members where needed. When this system is selected, drawings and quantities update automatically so the change is reflected in outputs. If a project needs a special section or connection, the HiStruct team can add it as a custom library item so users select it like any other standard option.

The bays screen controls spans and support positions. Users may limit the maximum clear span so the configurator adds extra columns automatically or they can define spans manually for a central prop. After confirmation, the change flows to drawings and quantities. This approach keeps geometry, BOM and pricing aligned without redrawing from scratch.

Start with accurate spans and slopes, then use the roof methods that best match the target shape. For uncommon junctions, set clear rules for panel layout, overlaps and flashings. Keeping these rules inside the model makes drawings and quantities reliable. If a recurring roof form is not yet covered, it can be added to the library so future projects are faster and more consistent.
