Description

Advance Steel is a specialized steel detailing software that operates within a 3D modeling framework, which ultimately integrates into a document management system. This 3D model is comprised of smart structural components, including beams, plates, bolts, and welds, which can be assembled using Parametric Connection tools that facilitate the duplication of connections throughout the model. Consequently, this model serves as a central hub for generating general arrangement drawings, shop assembly drawings, and part drawings essential for the fabrication process. Additionally, the software possesses features for platework, enabling the creation of intricate folded plate details required for flat pattern development drawings intended for shop applications. The program includes tools for constructing steel frameworks utilizing intelligent macros that accommodate adjustments to overall frame dimensions and section profile selections, all while leveraging Parametric connection tools for standard connection types and the flexibility to design custom connection details tailored for unique circumstances. This comprehensive approach ensures that every stage of the detailing process is streamlined and efficient, ultimately enhancing productivity in steel fabrication projects.

Description

SteelTally is a specialized software for Windows tailored for the structural steel industry, catering to needs of fabricators, detailers, and estimators. It has the capability to interpret PDF and DXF drawings, efficiently identifying beam and column identifiers on framing layouts while also highlighting any missing marks. The software comes equipped with measurement tools that accurately capture lengths for straight, curved, and polyline beams. Additionally, it features column diagrams that accommodate welded caps, connection plates, and base plates, while truss tools effectively decompose assemblies into their respective chords, verticals, and diagonals. Estimators benefit from the ability to input their rates for steel, galvanizing, and paint, generate stock-length cut lists prioritizing offcuts, and assess crane reach for logistical planning. The revision comparison function allows users to juxtapose different drawing versions, pinpointing newly added, removed, renamed, or resized members. Outputs such as member lists, cut lists, and revision summaries can be exported to Excel or PDF formats for easy sharing. SteelTally also includes specifications for Australian section sizes and weights, operates locally on Windows, and does so offline without the necessity for cloud-based drawing uploads or AI. Users can explore a fully functional 30-day trial without needing to provide credit card information, making it an accessible option for those in the structural steel sector. Furthermore, this software's intuitive interface enhances productivity for those involved in steel estimation and detailing tasks.
