Structural steel detailing drawings (new StruBIM Steel module)

In version 2023.d, StruBIM Steel includes the new "Structural steel detailing drawings" module. This module allows the program to generate graphical documents of the structure. Using these tools, users will be able to create sheets of the parts (sections and plates), assembly sheets, joint sheets and sheets with the general model views. The “Generation options”, “Parts”, “Assemblies”, “Joints”, “Model views”, “Composition” and “List” tools can be accessed from the “Sheets” menu.

In order to work with this module, the user's license must have the corresponding permission.

More information on the features of this StruBIM Steel module is available at Structural steel detailing drawings.

Management of categories that can be snapped from the sidebar

In version 2023.d, the management of categories marked as "Snappable" has been added to the sidebar. Each element in the 3D scenes belongs to a category.

This improvement is useful, for example, when tagging or dimensioning items to deactivate categories that don't need to be snapped. The sidebar location allows quick access to this commonly used tool.

Print management by categories of elements

In version 2023.d, the print management of elements according to their category has been added. From "3D Scene" > "Drawing attributes", users can access the dialogue box that allows them to select the categories to be printed ("Print by category" tab). Unchecked categories will be displayed on screen but will not be printed. This implementation is particularly relevant, for example, with connection symbols, which should be displayed on screen so they can be tagged, but not printed (see new feature "Connection symbols in drawing layouts").

Line type editing for vector image scenes

Line style editing by category has been added. The dialogue box for editing the line style can be accessed from the "3D Scene" tool > "Drawing attributes" option. When the scenes are defined as a vector image, the edges of the elements can be seen on screen according to the line style and the colour chosen by the user between the identification colour or the printing colour.

Text-only tag

A new type of tag has been added where only text is displayed. This tag is particularly relevant to StruBIM Steel model views and assembly drawings, where the automatic tag is generated for the bars, aligned to their axis.
