SectioCAD

A section becomes a part.
The part becomes a cutting list.

Steel, aluminium, or any profile you can draw — with its end cuts carried into the list.

Three moves, and the workshop has what it needs.

A steel frame doesn't need a full CAD workflow. Build the steel, send the list.

A section
Sketch it, pick a standard profile, or import a DXF. Type the dimensions and lock them.
A part
Pull it to length, mitre and slope the ends, draw the holes and the cuts.
A sheet and a list
Four views dimensioned from the model, as DXF or PDF, and the list beside them.

And the rest of it.

Every one of these is a named tool, not a setting buried in a dialog.

Set Out · Corner · Mitre · Slope · Chain · Trim and extend

Send it to the workshop as a link.

Whoever opens it gets the model and the cutting list on their phone, with nothing installed and no account. Tap a part and it says what it is: its mark, its section, both lengths, and how many there are.

What it is not

Not a replacement for Inventor or Revit. It does one thing: parts made from a section, and the drawing and the list that come out of them. If you need simulation or a library of standard parts, this is not that.

The editor wants a desktop screen, a mouse and a keyboard. The link you send opens on a phone. Your work is saved in this browser — use Save / Open to keep a copy as a file, and that copy is what moves between machines.
