This tutorial is about creating beams. The main take away here is
1. Manage UCS.
2.Manage Layers
3.Manage View Cube and Work Area
4.Manage Rotation and insertion point of Beam Section so that later on Advance copy can be used effectively
5. Us Construction Lines.
Create work area in Advance Steel

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.
Advance steel Quick View Tool bar tools to show and hide elements. Also, deals with 2d snap which is very much like Tekla Workplane Viewplane switch.
Advance Steel Tutorials for Tekla Users
In this video we are going to look at trim/extend tool. I could not make the extend tool work. Could not find any documentation
I have to suspect that advance steel is starting to gain traction in the market. Job posts in Job Portals show the following data
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
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.
Kudos to the engineers and architects on this project. Their support had been brilliant. We have never come across another engineer or architect who had been so prompt in resolving issues on this project. We were able to complete this project very quickly mainly because of the super support i
n resolving RFIs from the engineers architect and the builder. The builder is Kane Constructions.
Attention detailers,
Take a look at the following below and see if you can identify the issue/problem at hand. Take careful note of what I have marked up, and try to identify the issue.
Here are the structural drawings:
Answer:
There is an unsupported hebel panel here. Without support, the panel will surely break off. Therefore it needs a PL to support that panel, notwithstanding the engineer’s omission.
Take a look at the mark up above.
I struggled a bit on finding the tool palette and switch it on and off. But once you know it is a no brainer. Here is a video on how to switch on and off the tool palette in advance steel
