Automating Hanger Placement for Sheet Metal

Article content provided by MSUITE.

Hanger placement has long been a bottleneck for contractors. MSUITE Hangers changes that by transforming a traditional manual process into an automated, rules-driven workflow that accelerates modeling, enhances accuracy, and simplifies coordination from VDC to the field.

MSUITE Hangers is more than a placement tool—it’s a full-featured solution for hanger automation across leading design platforms. With reactive and smart hangers that adapt to model changes in real time, users can maintain accuracy as designs evolve. The ability to model systems and place hangers simultaneously streamlines tight project schedules and reduces rework.

Additional features include flexible support for single or multi-tier trapeze hangers, automatic clamp placement, and a Hanger Manager that applies project-specific placement rules with precision. Teams can also export BOMs, control element naming, and simplify field layout with built-in point placement tools. With integration support for Revit and other BIM platforms, MSUITE Hangers improves documentation, scheduling, and communication between design, fabrication, and field teams—helping contractors deliver faster with greater confidence.
