"The results were excellent and we were very impressed with the way the work went. The SuperCAD details were neat, extremely accurate and very fast. Drawing quality made a good statement about us to the client."

SuperCAD
Concrete Detailing and Scheduling
SuperCAD is the reinforced concrete detailing system which extends the power of AutoCAD for the reinforcement detailer. The program provides built-in entities for all shape codes to BS8666:2000 and BS8666:2005 along with an extensive library of 99s. The shape code entities can be created, positioned and modified in exactly the same way as any AutoCAD primitive drawing objects. A bar bending schedule can then be automatically produced in seconds and is guaranteed to be 100% correct based on your details. One click shortcut keys exist for common tasks to further increase productivity.
SuperCAD files can be created directly using any part of the SuperCONCRETE suite of programs. These will automatically generate the beam, column or base import files, with all the concrete reinforcement details, for swift construction of detailed drawings.
SuperCAD key features:
- Intelligent bar snaps relative to cover lines, concrete outlines or other bars.
- Checking of all bar dimensions, bars crossing cover lines and missing labels.
- Automatic consistency checks to either BS8666:2000 or BS8666:2005.
- User definable schedule layout with automatic output to bar fabricators formats available.
- Full integration with our concrete design software.
- User definable labelling and tagging.
- Bar spacing, curtailments and laps calculated and rounded according to customisable rules.
- Full library of shape codes for BS8666:2000 or BS8666:2005 available as well as an extensive library of shape code 99s.
- Option to create user defined 99s and images if required.
- Option to insert graphical bar images into the schedule
full library of concrete outlines including an option to define cover lines. - AutoCAD polylines can be easily converted into SuperCAD intelligent outlines.
- Standard details can be imported to other drawings, resized and the schedule will be automatically updated.
- Full drawing revision control.
- Drawing sheet masks completely configurable with the AutoCAD environment.
- Completely customisable drawings with control of labelling methods, border, schedule headers, bar representation etc.
- Editions of the software are available for all AutoCAD packages.
- Automatic scheduling as changes are made to the drawing.
- The SuperCAD toolbars further speed up the detailing process.
SuperCAD is developed under out TickIT approved Quality Management System, which ensures well documented, structured and reliable software.
We are committed to continual improvement and providing the best support service to our clients.
