What Glazier Studio is
Glazier Studio is software for designing, estimating and fabricating elevations in the fenestration industry. It lists glass estimating, cut list generation, fabrication workflows and material tracking, with a database of parts and metal systems from EFCO, Tubelite, YKK, Oldcastle, US Aluminum and other vendors. The maker says it can be paired with RhinoFab equipment to position, cut and fabricate material. The software is licensed per location on a monthly subscription, with two feature levels that customers can upgrade or downgrade during the subscription period; prospective customers must contact DeMichele Group for pricing and terms. The full installation is listed for Windows 10 or newer, and the maker’s update notes say an Android version is available through Google Play. The downloads page lists version 5.0.0.74 and says an update to it requires version 5.0.0.70 or newer. That release adds a Project Builder for creating multiple frames from basic frame information. DWG shop drawing exports include section cuts without running a script file. Support options include a knowledge base, community, tickets, tutorials and remote assistance.
