Weto Liberta

Weto Liberta (and its upgraded commercial counterpart, Liberta Prima

), developed by Weto AG, is a highly efficient 3D CAD timber construction tool favored by carpenters, roofers, and architects. While many users know it for basic roof modeling, it packs a punch with specialized parametric tools and automated workflows that usually go unnoticed. Here are 10 hidden and underutilized features of Weto Liberta

you should leverage to speed up your design-to-production workflow. 1. Automatic Framing Recesses (Trimmers)

When you insert a skylight, chimney, or roof window into your design, Liberta doesn’t just place a visual placeholder. It features an automatic wood framework adjustment that instantly cuts the overlapping rafters and creates the proper headers and trimmer rafters required to structurally support the opening. 2. Parametric Collar Beam Generation

Instead of sketching, drawing, and positioning ties manually, the software includes a one-click collar beam tool. By selecting your main rafters, Liberta dynamically snaps collar beams or ties directly into place based on your pre-configured structural clearance heights. 3. Dynamic Wall-to-Roof Auto-Fitting

If you change your roof pitch or shift the ridge line, you do not need to manually redraw your structure’s walls. Liberta automatically calculates the shifting roof envelope and trims or extends the underlying solid walls so they cleanly meet the underside of the rafters. 4. Interactive 3D Real-Time Preview

A common pain point in CAD software is waiting for models to render after a change. Liberta includes a native real-time 3D preview window. Any modification you make inside the floor plan wizard or the profile settings updates instantly in the 3D viewport without delay, letting you visually catch interference issues immediately. 5. CNC Component Number Search

For large projects destined for automated prefabrication, finding a specific structural element can be tedious. You can skip hunting through the 3D environment by using the built-in CNC search tool. Inputting the component’s unique CNC tracking number automatically highlights and zooms to the specific timber in both the 2D plan and 3D views. 6. Zone and Material Separation

Liberta allows you to organize your structural components by material properties and structural zones. This makes it incredibly easy to hide or isolate specific layers—such as viewing just the primary rafter network while hiding auxiliary purlins or roof coverings—streamlining complex multi-tiered timber assemblies. 7. Self-Adaptive Rafter Interaxes

When adding multiple rafters across a span, you don’t have to break out a calculator. The spacing controls support dynamic fixed/forced interaxes. Liberta intelligently scales the exact spacing or total count of rafters across variable distances while automatically maintaining structural symmetry. 8. Expandable Custom Roof Tile Catalogue

The default visual materials are just a starting point. Liberta contains an expandable roof superstructure and tile catalog. Users can import external profiles, custom dimensions, and specific roof tile specifications to match local building codes or brand-specific architectural supplies. 9. Instant Sawmill-Ready Timber Lists

Directly hidden behind the modeling tools is a timber list computation engine. With a single command, Liberta aggregates every beam, post, and rafter, calculating precise lengths, cross-sections, and total cubic volumes. This document can be printed as a professional carpenter’s timber list or shared directly with sawmills for raw material procurement. 10. Automated Profile Elevation Dimensions

Generating technical documentation for client approval or workshop assembly is fully automated. The software generates automatic dimensions for Roof Profile Elevations. When you export a 2D cross-section view, Liberta snaps structural dimensions, heights, and pitch degrees into the technical drawing without requiring manual alignment. If you want to master these tools, let me know:

Are you working on a specific roof style (e.g., gable, hip, T-shaped)?

Will you be exporting your files to 2D CAD (DXF/DWG) or to a CNC joinery machine?
