Bring Digital Steel Framing Layout to Jobsite
Steel framing demands accuracy from the very first line. Misaligned tracks, misplaced openings, or coordination errors quickly cascade into delays across drywall, MEP, and finishes.
With LightYX, coordinated CAD or BIM models are projected directly onto hard floor and ceiling surfaces, giving crews clear, visual guidance they can build from immediately. No tape measures. No chalk lines. No guessing. Whether you’re laying out light-gauge walls, interior steel partitions, or architectural framing, LightYX turns digital design into full-scale, on-site layout — helping teams move faster while building exactly to plan.
What LightYX Does for Steel Framing
LightYX enables confident layout from day one by projecting:
Light-gauge steel track lines
Interior and exterior steel partitions
Door and opening rough-ins
Wall offsets and radius conditions
Backing and support locations
Wall type labels and layout annotations
Ceiling references for vertical alignment
All projected directly where crews work — on floors and ceilings — so installation starts immediately with clarity.

FAQ
What is laser layout and how do general contractors use it?
General contractors use laser layout to coordinate multiple trades by projecting shared design information directly onto the jobsite.
How does digital layout technology improve accuracy for general contractors?
Digital layout ensures all trades work from the same coordinated design, reducing interpretation errors.
How does laser layout help manage multiple trades on site?
Laser layout aligns trades to the same reference, improving coordination and reducing conflicts.
Can laser layout reduce coordination issues and RFIs?
Yes. Visualizing design intent on site can help identify issues earlier and reduce RFIs.
Is laser layout difficult to implement on active jobsites?
Laser layout systems are designed for field use and can be integrated into existing workflows.
