How Prosteel 3d Software Helps You With Structural Steel Drawings

ProSteel 3D is an application used for structural steel fabrication and detailing, and is closely integrated with AutoCAD.

Due to the software's close integration with AutoCAD, a user can use AutoCAD commands to edit and manipulate objects via AutoCAD's Object ARX interface, while also being able to work with a wide range of sizes from the very complex to the very minute.

ProSteel 3D is also user friendly. Its developers have ensured that they make your work faster and easier by coming up with an interface where you can see toolbar buttons, pop-up menus or trays. Also, these menus also allow you to preview the changes while mousing over the various options in the menu you have open.

Further, ProSteel 3D is an open system, so you can specify your own steel standards. The details that you add will be added to a database that anybody can modify or edit. Additionally, you can use other popular database programs to add new custom shapes and sizes into ProSteel.

The flexibility you gain translates to a more productive and efficient user experience. It also allows you to easily complete typical construction applications like aluminum and shelving, structural steel, plant, steel building, equipment and heavy machinery and marine applications.

ProSteel 3D, while using all the typical AutoCAD functionality, also adds its own set of functionalities, like:

* enabling the user to make ribs by measure, half or complete, or even diagonal ribs;
* using steel shapes and sheet metals anywhere in the work model;
* DSTV/AISC standards dictate plate, web angle connections, or customized connections;
* automatic placing of roof and wall elements on optimized surfaces;
* ability to render 2D details with view depth, construction lines depth definition and full object selection control! The features are too many to mention.

Further, ProSteel 3D may also be used with other third party software related to architecture, petrochemical and process engineering, air conditioning and plant construction, among others. ProSteel 3D has an open architecture that allows its users to combine it with other software!

Lastly ProSteel 3D have incorporated different kinds of interfaces that are unique to different tasks. Like having a different interface unique to steel fabrication and construction. On it, you can see parts-list PPS, statistics, building components and other information.

Anybody familiar with AutoCAD will find ProSteel 3D easy to learn and use, because it uses AutoCAD commands especially in editing and modifying different objects. In other words, there is not much of a learning curve and the company saves on the time it needs to train new users and the associated costs. It also gives you a more efficient and productive team in no time!
