3D Steel Modeling and Auto Drafting Program with
Advanced Material Take-Offs from www.nyacad.com
3D Design: Clip Angles connections, Column Base and
Cap plates, Beam stiffeners, Wall Bearing Beam Ends,
Column – Beam Bolted Connections etc.
On the base of 3D model you can automatically
generate different kind of structural drawings:
• Grids
• Erection plans (stick form)
• Erection plans (solid form)
• Elevations (solid form)
• Anchor bolts’ Setting plan
• Typical Base column details with Anchor Bolts
and Advanced Material Take-Offs (reports):
o Steel cutting list
o Steel summary
o Plates
o Angles
o Bolts: shop, field and Bolts summary
The program gives at your disposal easy and effective
way for working on structural projects. You can:
• Automatically generate drawings
• Automatically make end preparations of beams,
rounds beam length and sizes of copes to 1/4"
• Assign standard distance to steel face (3/4" or
7/8" etc.), change copes' sizes, change
setbacks and therefore length of the beam
• Set Up drawing's properties:
o scale, text style and height
o Add base and cape plates to column
o Assign any number of elevations for your structure
o Add clip angles connections for beams
o Automatically updated reports are available
Every time you make changes (grid distances,
materials, plates, elevations etc.) in your design
the program will update database and create the new
structure with new data. This program could be a
valuable tool for everyone involved in the steel
construction: steel fabricators, estimators,
detailers, structural engineers etc.
Structural engineer can estimate the structure from
aesthetical point of view using AutoCAD capabilities
(3D orbit, shading, rendering etc.); more clearly
show the design by plotting isometric view; watch the
structure in either static or dynamic regime, find
interference of material, make impressive
presentation; typical sections could be taken now
directly from auto generated plans and elevations.
Estimator can get all documents necessary for bid (no
ACAD experience needed!) within short period of time.
On applying different materials you can prepare
several alternative bid documents and choose the
optimal one.
Steel fabricator will have clear erection drawings
and only 1/4" rounded lengths of members (no 1/8" or
1/16" equal lengths!). Steel Detailing for lowest
price is available as well. CAD operator, Steel
detailer can produce a dozen (or even more!) drawings
within one working day. The program
includes "Calcshapes" module - powerful tool for
making structural calculations (any format of
numbers) and fast search in structural shapes
database.
