“iScaf® 11.0” is the latest version of the most respected scaffold design and estimating system available. Now with 3D solid rendering, iScaf® will enable you to design scaffold plans with full side elevations, and detailed 3D Drawings of your scaffold. iScaf® will generate an accurate bill of materials quickly and automatically with totals including length, weights and area. iScaf® will help save time and help you win more business with the impressive presentations produced by the latest release. iScaf® can be integrated with the iRent® system modules.
There have been many new exciting developments recently with iScaf®. Please review our Latest News page to keep updated with new developments and new products that integrate with iScaf®.
iScaf® RealView is a new service available from Scaffolding Software that will allow you to create an interactive 3D scaffold experience.

Yes. Version 11.0 provides access to the best of both worlds. In addition to the standard menu controls, it makes available the latest interface, including a new ribbon menu. This gives you access to all the controls necessary for drawing scaffold; even more quickly and easily than before. No matter whether you are a scaffold expert (with limited computer experience) or a CAD expert (with many of your own custom templates and blocks), our software is there to provide the power at your fingertips.
iScaf® is a fully self-contained software system that can be downloaded and deployed on Microsoft Windows PC or Cloud systems.
Behind the scenes, iScaf® uses the powerful AutoCAD drawing engine to draw and estimate scaffold. Our product can still be used effectively by all users, though, even those without any CAD knowledge. Due to a bulk licensing agreement, we are now able to offer an even more affordable pricing structure. There is no need to purchase AutoCAD or any additional CAD software to use the iScaf® product.

iScaf® does not build scaffold entirely out of tube and clip.
We do allow tube and clip in between bays for system scaffold like tube ties, tube handrail or tube for wall ties.
“iScaf®” allows you to provide detailed Plan, Elevation and 3D colour drawings with your estimates and quotes. The output is perfect for scaffolders on-site, providing them with the assurance that they know exactly what is required to build. It is also a perfect demonstration tool, allowing you to show your clients just what you can do for them. “iScaf®” allows you to scaffold using an architectural drawing of any structure you choose. Import the image in PDF or scanned format and trace around the outline.
Print your full design on any standard size paper, with your choice of: company logo; additional text and extra information about your company. Our product also allows you to easily scale drawings using 1:100, 1:200 or any other ratio you may prefer. By presenting your drawing in this way, “iScaf®” allows you, your clients, and your scaffolders to clearly understand what is required when it’s time to actually build the scaffold on site.
Some other products used for creating scaffolding includes functions for creating three dimensional representations of a scaffolding design. “iScaf®” is no exception in this regard. It not only generates professional 3D drawings but also goes the extra distance of allowing you to produce sectional/elevation constructions These offer the advantage of providing an unimpeded view of the standards (verticals) layout and can be customised to include your own company title block.

The Windows 7 operating system remains a critical requirement for many legacy applications, specialized industrial software, and malware analysis environments. When running Windows 7 in modern virtualized environments like QEMU, KVM, or Proxmox VE, the QCOW2 (QEMU Copy-on-Write) disk image format is the industry-standard choice.
Keywords: Windows 7 Qcow2, KVM Windows 7, QEMU Windows 7 image, convert VMDK to Qcow2, Windows 7 virtual machine Linux, VirtIO drivers Windows 7, Qcow2 snapshot Windows 7.
Why 80GB? Windows 7 updates (especially Convenience Rollup) can consume 30-40GB over time. Thin provisioning ensures you don’t waste physical space.
QCOW2 natively supports internal snapshots. This is incredibly useful for Windows 7 environments where you want to save a clean state of the OS before testing unverified software, applying legacy security updates, or executing malware.

The Ultimate Guide to Windows 7 QCOW2: Virtualization, Setup, and Optimization
: Ideal for running 32-bit applications or hardware-specific software that won't run on Windows 10/11. Sandboxing
Virtualized disks should never be defragmented; it bloats the copy-on-write image size on the host file system.
sudo apt update sudo apt install qemu-kvm qemu-utils virt-manager -y Use code with caution. Step 2: Allocate the QCOW2 Disk Space
To get a functional and performant Windows 7 VM, certain technical steps are standard: : Use qemu-img to create the container. Example: qemu-img create -f qcow2 win7.qcow2 40G
What you see is what you get. Every single component is counted based on the scaffold that you use. With our experience in the industry, we know how most scaffold systems are constructed. All the different dimensions for the ladder towers and stair units are built the way you would build them right down to the stair stringers, stair treads, platforms, trap doors, landings and handrails. We also understand that every scaffold business does things a little differently to their neighbour, so please talk to us about your specific needs.
What Scaffold Systems does iScaf® support? iScaf® can handle a number of scaffold systems such as the main ones including Ringlock, Layher, Cuplock, Kwikstage and Frame. Almost any scaffold system can be supported with iScaf®. The iScaf®“Modules” system allows Scaffolding Software to create variations and customisations within each module since we understand that different businesses can have variations in the way their scaffold is built. This gives iScaf® very good flexibility.

iScaf® will NOT handle scaffolds built entirely out of tube and clamp.
With the use of additional cloud based tools by Autodesk®, iScaf® drawings can be shared to mobile, iOS, Android, PC and MAC devices. Your employees and clients can view iScaf® drawings anywhere with the multi-platform viewer. If more power is needed with annotation and mark-up, then the Autodesk® APP can be used with the iScaf® Drawings.
iScaf® Drawings and the accompanying material list quote can be converted easily to a custom PDF or exported to a variety of formats.
Please visit the Scaffolding Software YouTube Channel for more information and tutorials in relation to viewing and sharing iScaf® drawings.
Please note that since January 2014, all our products use an activation system for license control. We no longer use the dongle or hardware lock type system. This has been very well received and we will continue this approach. If your business still uses the old hardware lock system, we will still provide support but we recommend that you upgrade.
