  • Advance Steel Gaining Traction

    I have to suspect that advance steel is starting to gain traction in the market. Job posts in Job Portals show the following data

    • Seek
      • Tekla jobs -23
      • Advance steel Jobs -13
    • Naukri (India’s Job Portal)
      • Tekla jobs – 108
      • Advance Steel Jobs – 8

    An year before Advance steel jobs were much lower.

    There could be couple of reasons why Advance Steel is gaining traction. At this point of time Tekla is still a better software for detailing steel

    • Availability of Advance Steel Lic packages with AEC
    • Integration of Advance Steel Revit Interoperability
    • Cheaper price for AEC packge considering that to detail steel we also need Revit to check things with Arch models.

    Another important thing especially with countries like India where piracy is rampant could be that it could be increasingly difficult to pirate with later versions of Tekla software forcing detailers to switch to cheaper alternatives.

  • Lesson 24 Overlay 2d Annotation

    All team leads, trainees must know how to overlay 2d annotations to IFC model and upload to trimble connect.

    Please watch this youtube video on it. I am asking Ragul to upload a training model with GA and Assy drawings. What you have to do is follow the video, extrat the dwg and upload the GA and Assy drawing to trimble connect on your private trimble connect.

    You may use campus for that. Get Ragul to check and approve.
