Stop Drawing Structural Steel Shapes Manually

Every structural steel detailer knows how much time is spent drawing standard steel shapes over and over again. Creating accurate W-shapes, channels, tubing, pipes, angles, and tees manually not only slows production but also increases the chance of drafting errors and inconsistent details.

Steel2K eliminates that repetitive work.

Simply select the steel shape, choose the size and view, then place it directly into your AutoCAD drawing. The application automatically creates accurate parametric steel shapes that are ready to use in fabrication drawings, shop drawings, engineering details, structural plans, elevations, sections, and construction documents.

Whether you're detailing a single connection or an entire steel project, Steel2K helps you produce professional drawings faster while maintaining consistent standards throughout every project.

Why Architects, Engineers, Steel Detailers, and CAD Professionals Rely on Steel2K

Instead of spending valuable drafting time constructing standard steel sections from scratch, Steel2K lets you:

• Create structural steel sections in seconds

• Eliminate repetitive drafting

• Maintain consistent AISC/CISC geometry

• Reduce drafting errors

• Produce cleaner shop drawings

• Standardize details across projects

• Save hours on every steel detailing project

 

Designed Around Your Existing AutoCAD Workflow

Steel2K works inside AutoCAD where you already create your drawings.

Simply:

1. Choose the structural shape.
2. Select the steel size.
3. Choose the required view.
4. Insert the shape.
5. Rotate and place it.

The result is an accurate structural steel shape created from a single intelligent polyline that can easily be edited, dimensioned, hatched, or incorporated into larger details.

 

Professional Drafting Features Include

Multiple insertion points

Quickly align steel shapes exactly where you need them without additional editing after placement.

Automatic layer control

Place steel shapes on the correct drawing layers to maintain office drafting standards.

Shape properties

Instantly identify steel sizes and properties directly from inserted shapes.

Automatic shape notation

Label structural members consistently without manually typing section names.
