Software
It is powerful, intuitive & reduces multi-step processes into a single integrated solution making it easy to use and ideal for residential and light commercial construction.
SCOTSTEEL
ScotSteel is a bespoke 3D software that facilitates the design and engineering of cold-formed steel sections within the Scottsdale ecosystem. It boasts advanced tools for rapid drafting and engineering of cold-formed steel structures with ease. The built-in import tools make it seamless to trace framing drawings from architectural plans, while the export tools help with precise quantity take-offs.
SCOTSTRUCT
ScotRF is a comprehensive roll forming and production management software that works seamlessly with ScotSteel. It includes modules for trusses and panels, enabling the production of Hat and Cee section profiles. Designs created in ScotSteel are directly communicated to ScotRF, which controls the roll formers for efficient and precise production of cold-formed steel components.
SCOTRF
ScotStruct is a powerful engineering tool that performs structural analysis and design of cold-formed steel using the Direct Strength Method (DSM). With modules for walls, bracing, lintels, and more, it easily integrates project data from ScotSteel to handle complex cold-formed steel projects, ensuring accuracy and compliance with modern engineering standards.
Scottsdale Roll Forming Equipment Software Options
Scottsdale software is intelligently designed for flexibility across use cases, ensuring that end users can tailor their workflow to meet specific needs. Whether you’re working with Scottsdale or Knudson solutions, you have the freedom to craft your project from inception to completion using Scottsdale software alone or through seamless integrations with a variety of platforms. Our integrations encompass Revit, Bentley – STAAD PRO / Multiframe, CSI – ETABS, SAP, SpaceGass, Connex, and more, providing extensive compatibility to enhance your productivity. Additionally, we’ve implemented one-click exports and direct export features, streamlining workflows and facilitating smooth transitions across different software applications. This adaptability and ease of use ensure that our software is not just a tool, but a comprehensive solution to empower you throughout your steel projects.
SOFTWARE HIGHLIGHTS
SCOTTSDALE FEATURES
The ScotSteel suite of software have good integrations with other design and engineering software packages to facilitate the ease of manufacturing Scottsdale profiles and are listed below.
- Importing DXF layouts for rapid framing within the design software
- One click export of framing model to 2D and 3D DXF for easy view in other software packages
- Once click export to IFC for clash detection and BIM project management during the construction process
- Direct export to the ScotRF framing software for seamless rolling with tight integration and interoperability
- Engineering geometry export to other structural analysis packages for complex structural analysis. Section, material, restraint and member release data exported as part of process resulting in significant saving in modelling the geometry in external tools.
KNUDSON FEATURES
From the Knudson roll former perspective all machinery can integrated with Revit for design and engineering using the MWF Pro metal plugin. The completed design can then be sent to the Knudson roll formers through the ONYX cloud management system which have numerous benefits as follows:
- Cloud-based tool for production management for the entire project offering seamless integration with the design and the manufacturing process
- Optimised rolling using sequencing and scheduling the rolling process as per project needs
- Panel stack, sort and bundle management for ease of inventory control and transportation
Our software: the story of everything
Powerful features, powerful integrations.
ScotSteel drives your engineering and design, while ScotRF provides a super-precise CNC conversion of the design into the finished product coming out of your machine. It is that precision that enables error-free and interruption-free light-gage frame production with the material utilization rate of over 99%. Optional ScotStruct advanced engineering package enables complete and integrated structural design of the building. Revit users may access our ScotSteel platform through Graitec Strucsoft MWF, and they may also use the same plug-in, in addition to Vertex BD, to push their designs to our KFD and KFS CNC controls.

“The biggest contribution Scottsdale has made to my business has been in being there when we need them. I live in New Orleans, we operate out of New Orleans, and we have hurricanes and frequent power outages. Every time we have needed Scottsdale to sign back onto our system remotely from New Zealand or Australia, they are there to do it and that has been a lifesaver.”
Chad Brown, Founder of Dominion USA, Inc.
“With the cost of housing in Canada homes and with rentable suites as mortgage helpers becoming increasingly popular, Scottdale’s LGS system allows for a complete open concept basement to develop suites. There is a significant shortage of skilled labor in Canada, and Scottsdale’s system allows homes to be built with “unskilled” workers.”
