Customer Quotes




"We needed a product that was easy to learn as we were taking this project over from another detailing house. We had an incredibly short lead-in time. We were awarded the project on a Monday and the first drawings were required 9 calendar days later!"

Dave Vout, Bridge Engineer for British Rail and Local Government

Technical information - Advance Steel

  1. The following limitations exist with exports to SDNF:
      - Problems with rotation/offset for families that do not define parameters named b and h, meaning width and height, respectively. Defining the b and h parameters solves this problem.
      - Problems with rotation and offset combinations for beams and columns: Revit API properties do not reflect entirely the beam/column status. For example, in Revit, a beam has a different position/orientation for the same parameters depending in which order the parameters were set.

Technical information - Advance Design

  1. Isolated / continuous footings are imported as punctual / linear supports
  2. Nodes are exported from Analysis Model (FE results available) if user option activated
