• 2D3DSteel - 2D3DSteel 2.1 is an AutoCAD VLX application that draws accurate steel shapes in AutoCAD 2000 through 2007. Any of the shapes available in ShapeBook can be quickly added, in 2D or 3D, to your AutoCAD drawings.
• AutoStair - AutoCad extension to produce drawings and dimensions for steel stringers for fabrication. User inputs run and rise for stairs, AutoStairs draws and dimensions stringers ready for fabrication.
• AutoStructural - AutoCad extension to produce drawings for structural steel beams and columns. Auto backoffs, copes, and dimensioning. draws and dimensions beams and columns from user input and AISC data file.
• Detail - A fully automated structural steel detailing system. Build your model on the screen visually in 3D using Graphical Material Input (GMI), apply your connections, either globally or drag-and-drop, and the shop DWGs, erection DWGs, reports, and CNC files are generated automatically.
• MultiSteel - Structural steel design software for AutoCAD in 2D and 3D steel. Wide range of automated features. Full design links. Specialized modules for platforms, stairs, rigs and offshore.
• SDS/2 Detailing System - SDS/2 enables one to automatically design connections using a 3D model with a multitude of options for beams, columns, bracing and joists. Connections are designed based on parameters that you define for each job. Designate material, edge distance, cope criteria and other connection specifications, and SDS/2 will automatically generate connections that meet your requirements.
• SSDCP - AutoCAD-based product for making structural and miscellaneous steel fabrication drawings, plate-work details, anchor bolt plans, erection plans, e-sheet sections, and more. Drawings follow AISC standards. Detail beams, columns, bracing, stairs, handrails, frames, tilt-up panels, and full-size shop templates.
• ShapeBook - ShapeBook with 2D3DSteel is a quick reference and AutoCAD parametric drafting application for structural steel design and detailing. ShapeBook is based on the AISC Manual of Steel Construction LRFD, 3rd Edition. Structural steel shapes are available in US imperial and metric units.
• Soft Burn - SoftBurn is a CNC Plate Burner Software that Scans virtually any Connection Material sheet or P sheet of plates detailed for fabrication. Soft Burn will scan (read) these drawings of plates, and create full scale DXF or DSTV files for the CNC plate burner. These DXF and DSTV files can then be read in by the CNC plate burning software completely eliminating the need to program the plates manually in the shop.

  Input: Autocad Drawings - Soft Burn will read virtually any DWG or DXF file, typically created by Autocad or other software packages as input. The Connection Material drawing, or P sheet, can consist from one to any number of plates, but should just be connection material, not a full shop drawing of a Column or Beam. The plates on these drawings have to be drawn to some scale (example, 1 inch scale), and each plate can be drawn to a different scale if needed.

  Output: DXF output Files - The DXF output file generated by SoftBurn will be the full scale drawing of the plate, with all inside corners radiused. The layer used for the plate outline is user defined, typically PLASMA or CUT. The holes will be drawn in layer PUNCH1, PUNCH2, or PUNCH3, as each of these layers define a hole or tool diameter, and are user defined. These DXF files will be easily read into the software used on your CNC plate burner.

  The DSTV output file generated by SoftBurn are the industry standard DSTV file, and includes all the properties required in the DSTV file including the plate grade, quantity, properties, etc. All inside corners will be radiused, and the plate profile and holes will be accurately reported as well. These DSTV files will be easily read into and software requiring DSTV files.
• Soft Steel - Soft Steel is a three dimensional Structural Steel Detailing Software for any type of structural steel project.

  Embedded built-in AutoCAD commands and extensive use of ARX Technology results in a powerful yet intuitive way to operate with a sophistication of results.

  This detailing software automatically produces structural steel fabrication drawings quickly, accurately and efficiently. Soft Steel has been designed with simplicity of operation in mind so that the user requires no special skills to run the system.
• Softscan - SoftScan is a generic Bill of Material scanner designed to read data from various CAD systems (such as DWG or DXF) and to export them into many other output formats. Also creates a suite of reports based on the bill of material.

  Exports: Steel2000, KISS Files, Structural Software, Microsoft Excel, EJE, Romac

  Inputs: 3D Cad/SmartKad, DWG/DXF

  Special Fields: Revisions, Sequences, Pay Code, Finishes

  Reports: Bill of Material, Connection Material List, Connection Material Order List, Connection Material Reference, Main Material Cutting List, Main Material Nesting, Main Material Order List, Main Material Order List with Marks, Fiel Bolt Summary, Field Bolt Placement
