  • Advanced Steel Tool – Convert AutoCAD lines to Advanced Steel Beams

    Why bother with this tool?

    Because drawing Advanced Steel Beams is very cumbersome. If you have a CSV file you can draw AutoCAD lines and conver them with a fairly simple macro. Everything is open sourced, so you can fork or submit a PR if you require.

    Here is a video demonstrating this:

    If you want to download it, please see check out this link.

    Source code is available here.

    Points to note

    Work area can be used to reduce clutter in the model

    Visibility of elements outside the work area can be set to desire level by controlling the level of details

    Only one work area is active at any time.

    Create work area on the XY plane after setting the UCS to the desired value.
