Structural Steel Shapes 2D Detailing

Structural Steel Shapes include W-shapes, channels, single/double angles, square & rectangular tubing, pipes, M, S, HP shapes, and tees as listed in the Steel Manual. All steel shapes are created from a single polyline and made into an Autodesk® AutoCAD® block when inserted as section views.

All structural steel shapes are parametrically drawn according to the “Manual of Steel Construction”  of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. Steel shapes use external data files for use with other structural standards.

One main dialog controls access to all shapes allowing multiple insertion points, layer, color, and line type control, and the ability for the user to specify exaggerated dimensions, for details, before placement of each shape.

Shape Libraries include:
    LRFDV14 AISC
    LRFDV13 AISC
    LRFD3 AISC
    LRFD2 AISC
    LRFD1 AISC
    ASD9 AISC
    ASD8 AISC
    ASD7 AISC
    ASD6 AISC
    ASD5 AISC
    LRFDV13 MAISC
    LRFD3 MAISC
    CISC

FEATURES:

•     Create shapes in plan, section, elevation, or single line as required.
•     Create simple or complex shapes made from a single non-segmented polyline.
•     Shapes are created as an AutoCAD block to keep file size minimized.
•     Ability to cope with ends of W-Shapes in elevation view.
•     List shape properties from the drawing after shape placement or within the dialog box.
•     All shapes are created parametrically from external data files.
•     Shapes are attached to the cursor based on the insertion point selected and rotated after placement.
•     Automatic shape notation by selecting an inserted shape.
•     User-defined dimensions for shape details.
•     A grid option allows the user to select a steel shape placed at several intersections of grid lines.

Note: The installer is compatible with AutoCAD from 2012 to 2027 (including other vertical products).
