One Step Ahead in Structural Steel Fabrication and Detailing With ProSteel 3D

ProSteel 3D is a software used for structural steel detailing and fabrication. It is closely integrated with AutoCAD.

Because of its integration with AutoCAD, you can use the Object ARX interface in AutoCAD to allow you to manipulate and edit objects using AutoCAD commands. It also enables you to work with very small to very complex sizes.

ProSteel 3D is also easy to use. 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, while hovering your mouse over the various choices in the menu you have open, you can see the changes to be made if you select that option.

Further, you can set your own steel standards with its open system. The details that you add will be added to a database that anybody can modify or edit. More than that, a user can use dBase or Excel to add new custom sizes and shapes.

The added flexibility translates to more productivity and efficiency. Further, it enables you to complete usual construction applications like structural steel, shelving, plant, steel buildign equipment and marine applications almost without difficulty!

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; and
• ability to render 2D details with view depth, construction lines depth definition and full object selection control!

There are too many functionalities to list down!

Further, ProSteel 3D has the capability to be used with other third party applications including air conditioning, petrochemical engineering, architecture, process engineering, and plant construction, among others. ProSteel 3D's open architecture enables the user to use it in conjunction with other software!

Lastly, ProSteel 3D has various interfaces for different user needs. There are interfaces that are unique to steel fabrication and constructuion. This interface lists parts needed, components needed for building and some statistics, among other things.

Anybody who is an expert in AutoCAD will surely find ProSteel 3D very easy to use and learn. This is because ProSteel 3D uses AutoCAD commands in 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!
