Paragon Layout is an Add-On for Paragon Design that enables 3D layouts and truss designs, ensuring precision and efficiency in your roof and floor systems. Create, visualize and optimize truss placements, streamline the construction process, facilitate collaboration simply with a link, and enhance overall project accuracy with our intuitive and powerful layout planning tool.
