SoftDraft Steel3D UK is a software application that allows you to create 3D models of structural steel shapes. These shapes can then be placed as columns or beams in a 3D model space. The shapes are created from dimensional data in the UK Steel Database.

SoftDraft Steel3D UK is a powerful tool for architects, engineers, and other professionals who need to create accurate and detailed models of steel structures. It is easy to use and can be integrated with other Autodesk software applications.

Here are some of the features of SoftDraft Steel3D UK:

  • Create 3D models of structural steel shapes
  • Place shapes as columns or beams in a 3D model space
  • Shapes are created from dimensional data in the UK Steel Database
  • Easy to use
  • Integrates with other Autodesk software applications

Includes these steel shapes from the UK library database:

  • UB - Universal Beams
  • UC - Universal Columns
  • UBP - Universal Bearing Piles
  • EA - Equal Angles
  • UA - Unequal Angles
  • 2EA - 2 Equal Angles Back To Back
