Copying and moving selected elements in the Formwork Drawings part has been enhanced to allow for copying and moving openings in walls and slabs from one level to another, independently from the structural element itself.
Element Definition in UCS
Structural elements can now be defined in the local User Coordinate System (UCS) allowing for buildings to be modeled quickly and easily in a given coordinate system.
Productivity
Intelligent Structural Objects
Engineers and drafters can create structural steel models or rebar drawings using intelligent objects such as beams, plates, columns, walls, and reinforcement bars, rather than lines and curves. You can virtually cut, lengthen, bend, split, and merge objects as well as automatically update material takeoffs.
Using the Reinforcement Drawing Extension, you can export reinforcement data from Revit® Structure software and generate 2D reinforcement drawings with AutoCAD Structural Detailing’s reinforcement detailing capabilities. A reinforcement drawing can be generated based on a selected national code. You can import a structural steel model created in Revit Structure and exported to CIS/2 and finish detailed modeling by adding necessary details such as connections, ribs, plates, stairs, and railings in AutoCAD Structural Detailing.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing software seamlessly imports structural steel models created in Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis software, as well as CIS/2 files, for more rapid 3D assembly and further detailing. The reinforcement detailing capability also imports reinforcement data from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis for automatic generation of reinforcement drawings for particular elements. Several formats are available for data export. Structural steel drawings can be sent to computer numeric controlled (CNC) fabrication machines.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing generates complete workshop drawings (with single parts and assemblies), schedules, and material takeoffs. When design changes are made, the software helps you streamline time-consuming updates of descriptions and dimensions, offering more data coordination throughout your shop drawings set.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing helps to prepare shop drawings by automatically generating elements or building cross-sections and elevations, complete with dimensions and descriptions.
Shop drawing documentation strongly depends on regional codes and detailing methods characteristic for each country (especially for reinforced concrete drawings). AutoCAD Structural Detailing software offers concrete reinforcement and steel detailing templates that are based on regional detailing practices such as designations and hatching patterns, in a multitude of countries, helping to ensure adherence to local detailing methods and appropriate elements or material schedules.
Styles enable users to more freely adjust the look of final shop drawings. You can change almost any aspect of the drawing, including descriptions, symbols, dimensions, and tables. Create new styles or modify existing ones easily to make your drawings look exactly the way you want.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing includes multiple databases from a wide range of countries to help ensure that users have the proper locally required elements, such as steel sections, materials, or rebar shapes.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing can produce all schedules and material takeoffs automatically from the drawings, or allow the user to export them to Microsoft® Excel® or Microsoft Word® software. Schedules are updated automatically to reflect changes made in your drawings.
In AutoCAD Structural Detailing, engineers and drafters can create structural steel models or rebar drawings using intelligent objects such as beams, plates, columns, walls, and reinforcement bars, rather than lines and curves. You can virtually cut, lengthen, bend, split, and merge objects. They dynamically react to changes and automatically update material takeoffs.
AutoCAD Structural Detailing provides special tools and smart macros that enable fast automation of time-consuming structural tasks. Use macros to generate typical parts of steel structures (including connections, roof trusses, stairs, railings, and ladders), automatically place elements (such as grates or purlins), or generate complete concrete reinforcement drawings of typical parts of structures, together with rebar descriptions and material takeoffs.
