'''cadwork''' is a software suite that includes IFC-based [[virtual design and construction]] software tools developed by [[cadwork informatik AG]]. This suite of tools provides a solution for 3D wood manufacturing ([[Computer-aided manufacturing]], CAM) and a solution for [[Building Information Modeling]] that includes project planning and control functions of [[Building information modeling|3D quantity takeoff]], [[4D BIM|4D scheduling]], [[5D BIM|5D pricing]], and [[6D BIM|6D execution]].

The primary application is in light frame woods and heavy timber construction: The [[Architecture|Architectural]] design, [[Structure|structural]] engineering, and construction [[carpentry]] phases are supported with novel features for [[glue laminated timber]] and [[stairs]]<ref>"cadwork - the leading 3D-CAD/CAM software for timber construction," BAU2019, last accessed July 31, 2019. https://exhibitors.bau-muenchen.com/en/exhibitor-details/product-presentation/product-presentation-details/objId/431/actionpro/detail/controllerpro/Products/ </ref>

With a commitment to opensource ideals, '''cadwork''' viewers are free and thus providing an inclusive environment for collaboration across project stakeholders through model navigation features, such as [[Zooming user interface|zoom]], pan, and print: the [[freeware]] version does not allow modifying a file. Three file types define the level of sophistication implemented through the model.
* .2d, .2dc  (2 dimensions drawing)
* .3d, .3dc  (3 dimensions drawings)
* .2dv       (parametric elements)

Following an international shift towards open-source software standards, cadwork is [[Industry Foundation Classes|IFC]] compatible ([[Industry Foundation Classes]]) with several certifications, such as IFC 2x3 (Import ISO/PAS).<ref>"IFC for CADWORK," IFC Wiki, last accessed July 31, 2019. http://www.ifcwiki.org/index.php/IFC_for_CADWORK</ref>
