Description

ProtaSteel empowers structural engineers and detailers to swiftly automate the design of steel connections, generating high-quality steel detail drawings within minutes. By importing models created in ProtaStructure directly into ProtaSteel, users can save countless hours through the automated design of a diverse selection of bolted and welded steel connections tailored to their needs. It offers a 3D visualization tool that facilitates the coordination of models, allows for the addition of auxiliary steelwork, and enables thorough quantification and value engineering of projects. The software dramatically cuts down on both design and detailing time by automatically generating exceptional engineering drawings for all steelwork and connection specifics. Not only does this enhance the productivity of design teams, but it also boosts the profitability of business projects. Additionally, ProtaSteel simplifies project management by ensuring seamless coordination with other prominent BIM platforms such as Tekla Structures and Revit, fostering a more integrated workflow. In this way, engineers can focus more on creative problem-solving and innovation within their projects.

Description

Vertex BD serves as a comprehensive BIM solution tailored for medium to large residential builders. This software facilitates the creation of architectural and structural drawing sets, fabrication drawings, material reports, manufacturing data, and marketing renderings, all derived from a singular building model. By automating the generation of site-specific drawing sets, Vertex BD enables production home builders to conserve significant hours that would otherwise be spent recreating drawings for various customer-selected house options. Component manufacturers and panelizers primarily utilize Vertex BD as panel prefab software, streamlining the creation of wall and floor panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts, cut lists, and additional material reports. This automation not only saves manufacturers a remarkable amount of design, drafting, and estimation time but also significantly reduces the risk of errors during construction. Furthermore, Vertex BD is compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction methods, making it a versatile tool in the building industry. Its ability to integrate various aspects of the building process into one platform enhances efficiency and accuracy across projects.
