Draw where you already think.
Work directly in a clean 2D view with familiar U-bars, L-bars, stirrups and meshes. Precise freeform bars are there when you need them, and out of the way when you do not.

Reinforcementdetailing,made simple.
Barform gives structural engineers a small, focused toolset: place steel once, see it in every plan and section, check it in 3D and issue coordinated plans, models and schedules. No bloated suite. No steep learning curve.

01 / A WORKFLOW YOU CAN SEE
Few tools.
One clear flow.
See the result immediately.
Every placement appears in 3D against the IFC model as you draw. There is no separate modelling step and no guesswork about what the finished detail will become.
Change it once. Keep moving.
Plans, sections and 3D share the same placement. Move it once and every relevant view, measurement and count follows. Less to manage, less to remember.
02 / ONE PLACEMENT
No drift. No double counts.
Coordination errors start when the same bar lives in three drawings. In Barform it lives in one placement. Plans, sections, 3D, dimensions, labels and schedules stay connected, so a revision is one edit instead of a hunt through every sheet.

THE PAYOFF
No duplicate geometry. No double counting. No drawing view that quietly drifts away from the placement behind it.
03 / FINAL OUTPUT
Ready
to issue.
Barform takes you directly to the final reinforcement plan. Compose accurate drawings, inspect the same steel in 3D, and export PDF plans, IFC reinforcement models and bending schedules from the same placements. What you issue is what you drew.

04 / CODE-AGNOSTIC BY DESIGN
The engineer decides.
Barform draws.
Barform does not prescribe design rules or hide engineering judgement behind automation. Apply the code you know; Barform gives you the speed and precision to detail it. Define your own steel grades and use the same open workflow anywhere.

05 / EASE IS THE FEATURE
Simple on day one.
Fast every day.
Barform is intentionally focused on reinforcement detailing. Its tools behave predictably, geometry stays visible and every action moves the drawing forward. New users can find their way; experienced detailers can stay in flow.
Only the tools the job needs.
A small, purposeful toolset keeps menus short and the next action obvious.
Draw it. See it. Adjust it.
Work in clear 2D views and see the same reinforcement respond immediately in 3D.
One logic on every device.
The same document and the same straightforward workflow on Mac and iPad Pro.
MACFull drafting workspace
IPAD PROThe same document, touch-native
