Joints are intelligent connections that consist of basic elements and dependent elements controlled by construction rules. Advance Steel contains a variety of preset parametric joints to connect Advance Steel elements. Joints and connection objects are grouped in the Connection Vault and are classified according to the type of the individual members. Corner base plate connection at level 0 Save your exercise as Creating a corner base plate.
Active Level 0. Select eye icon column. Select the Connection Vault button. On the Connection Vault palette, click on the Plates at beam category plate. Select the column then enter.
If it is the first time you are creating the connection, a message box appears, which states that no predefined joint for the selected profile was found in the connection table. Just click OK. You will be prompted to select an additional concrete object. After selecting the column choose [No] by hitting the space bar or typing N at the command line. Now select the column. The base pate is created automatically, and the properties dialog box is displayed.
OR: Proceed as follows if you have created a concrete object below the column, example a footing, wall, slab. After selecting the column choose [Yes] by hitting the space bar or typing Y at the command line. Now select the concrete footing then hit the Enter key.
On the Plate layout tab: - Select projections for the plate definition Base plate layout. On the Bolt distance leg 1 tab: - Select the layout column, middle, edge. On the Bolt distance leg 2 tab: - Select the layout column, middle, edge. On the Tools Palette, Tools category, click the Create by template multiple icon 2. Select intelligent box of the A1 base plate connection then Enter.
Select the C1 column then Enter. The connection is automatically created at the bottom of the column. The rotation of the connection or the bolt distances may need to be adjusted depending on how the connection was created. Choose Projections if to have the baseplate adjust to column size change. Depending on the scenario, you will be prompted to select an additional concrete object. Choose [Yes] if you have created a concrete object below the column, example a footing or slab etc.
If no concrete elements exists below the base plate, select [No], or type N at the command line then hit the Enter key to end the command. Select any part within the gray intelligent connection box. Right click and select Advance Joint Properties from the contextual menu. Double click on the gray intelligent connection box to bring up the joint properties of the connection.
Saving a standard connection to the library Another way of reusing a specific joint is saving its parameters in a library. When creating a joint with identical sections, the values are automatically loaded in the library.
You can reuse the connection later in another project if the connections are of the same type. You will first save the C1 column corner base plate properties to the library, then create another base plate connection for the B1 column.
Select Advance Joint Properties. In the properties dialog box, Properties category, select the Library tab. Click Save values to store the base plate parameters in the library. A new line is created in the library.
Click the Edit button to open the library and have access. Click the Comment field of the last line and Enter any pertinent text for this connection, C1 is used. You can click the Section field and select W16x26 to apply this connection values. Click OK to store the values in the library. Those are introduced in the Section name definition of the library and can partially or fully replace a section name. It still applies to all AISC This means that this rule will apply the connection to W21x68, W21x62, W21x, etc.
This connection now becomes the default and will be used when no other connection is listed. Save your work Copying a connection. To apply the saved connection to the bottom of B1 column: On the Connection Vault palette, select the Plates at beam category and click corner base plate. Select the B1 column. When prompted to select the concrete element choose No. The properties of the corner base plate will be displayed.
Select the Library panel then select the C-1 row to apply the properties of C-1 column corner base plate values. Deleting a connection 1. Next, create a base plate for the C2 column. Save your work and save as Creating a base plate for C2 column. On the Connection Vault palette, select the Plates at beam category and click the Base plate icon. Select the C2 column, type N and Enter. The base plate with anchor bolts is created at the end of the column.
The column is shortened by the Plate thickness and the plate is welded to it. Create a base plate for B2 W14x26 column. Finish all the base plate connections for Level 0 and save your work. Changing the Column section size The connection object properties can be modified, at any time, using Advance Properties or Advance Joint Properties. When a column section is changed, all other elements related to the modification are automatically changed.
Select the A2 column. The column section changes, and the base plate is automatically modified to the new configuration. Close the properties dialog box. Look at the result, open the connection properties dialog box and notice that the projections are still the same. It can be seen also by verifying the distance. The same applies if the profile is moved or stretched; for example, the column is shortened, the connection readjust to the new column location.
Select the gray intelligent box of A2 column base plate. Now select the base plate gray intelligent box of the B3 column. The B3 column base plate properties are now transferred to the A2 column base plate. Additionally, after creating the base plate connection at 2C grid, you can use the Propagate joint to apply the same connections to the 3B, 3A and 2A columns. We will use the Advance Copy tool to copy the concrete footings to the bottom of the columns. You will be orientated into plan view.
Change the View to a SE orientation. Activate the Grid intersection osnap. Select the Object tab, Other objects panel, then the footings icon. Place the concrete footings at grid 1A and select the Advance Copy tool icon located on the Tools category. The arc is tangential to the last segment. A cut out of the specified shape is created and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens.
Alternatively, you can draw the required shape as a polyline before using this command. At the Please specify start point or select [Polyline s ] prompt, enter P for the Polyline option and select the polyline.
Your predefined shape is cut out of the plate. Element Contour It makes a cut through a plate around a section. The cut is created matching the shape of the selected section and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens. Set the size of the cut out. This distance measures from the green shape. If the UCS is not parallel to the surface of the plate, or if using Element Contour and the section is not perpendicular to the surface of the plate, the shape is not square to the plate.
The cut is still the defined shape and avoids a clash with the other members. However, for manufacture it is easier to have the edges of the cut perpendicular to the plate surface, so the Straight Cut option is intended to be used in this situation.
Practice 12a Ducting 1. Cut the Duct around the blue beam in the Feature Practice drawing. At the end of the ducting in Feature Practice file, cut a contour around the blue beam with a 5mm clearance. These features work in the same way as those above, but the direction of the cut is always perpendicular to the surface of the plate. The UCS position is not important. Corner Cut Cuts a corner from your plate by selecting near the corner that you want to cut.
The cut is placed at a default size and the Edge Processing Properties dialog box opens. Set the required size for the chamfer or type of the fillet. The distances are measured from the corner along the edge of the plate. Bevel Cut It Cuts a chamfer along one of the long edges of the plate.
A chamfer is placed along the edge and the Weld Preparation — Bevel Properties dialog box opens. Enter the required angle and leg length s for the chamfer or select the fillet type. Note that Weld preparations are not usually displayed on the model in shaded views. If you want to display them you must set the Display Type of the plate to Exact with Weld Preparations. Split Plate by Two Points It cuts a plate into two pieces with a straight cut between two defined points.
Merge Plates It combines multiple plates with common edges into a single plate. Note that each plate must share at least one edge with one of the other selected plates.
The type of object that is currently placed depends on the setting of the switch. The icon next to the switch indicates which mode is active.
It is recommended that you ensure that the UCS XY plane is on the surface of the objects that you want to join before using these commands. When a bolt pattern is created, the holes to be used by the bolts are created automatically. Rectangle, 2 Points Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on two points that define the position and spacing. A pattern of bolts is placed and the Bolts Properties dialog box opens. Rectangle, Corner Point Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on one corner to define the position and spacing.
Rectangle, Centre Point Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on a center point to define the position and spacing. Circular, Centre Point Places a circular pattern of bolts based on a center and radius. A circular pattern of bolts is placed and the Bolt Properties dialog box opens. This can be corrected using this command. For RHS sections this can mean that the bolt heads or nuts can be in inaccessible places.
Clear the option to have the bolt go through the section so that the Head or Nut are easily accessible on the outside of the section. If you want to place a o Number X and Number Y: Sets the number of bolts in single bolt in the that direction.
Rectangle, 2 Points instead. Select the corners of the area in o Intermediate Distance X and Y: The space between the which you want to bolts in each direction. One bolt is added to the middle of the o Changing one value recalculates the others. Total Length area. You would not normally want to change the For threaded holes, a Total sizes, but can use the other values to create the hole tolerance of zero must be set to ensure required bolt pattern in the specified area.
Set the Radius and drawings. However, a Number of Bolts. You have to recognize and ignore o Part: Select the part in which you want to change the hole. The selected part is highlighted in red in the model. Set these other options to suit your needs. When using a Base Plate type joint, Anchors are placed automatically instead of bolts.
If you have bolts or The range of Anchors includes hooked anchors of various shapes. Welds are identified in the model by pink crosses. They are only displayed in the 2D Wire Frame visual style. The selected point is used in the drawings to locate the weld note.
Set to None if a lower weld is not required. Add Connection Objects It adds additional objects to a connection. If the connection is a bolt group the grip is adjusted to include the new object s. Remove Connection Objects Removes selected objects from a connection. If the connection is a bolt group the grip is adjusted accordingly. Practice 13a Add Bolts and Welds 1. Add Bolts and Welds to the top joints of columns C4 and D4. However, while the situation might be uncommon in the industry, you might want to use that configuration many times.
To do so you can create a Custom Connection to suit your needs. For example, a conservatory manufacturer wants to have concealed connections between members and designs a special joint for this purpose. Therefore, they create a Custom Connection. You can also use a Custom Connection when you have a common arrangement of several beams and joints that are often repeated, such as the bottom of a hip rafter. Different people have different solutions for connecting the bottom of the hip rafter.
One variation would be to create a cross beam at an angle, add a simple connection on either end of the cross beam, and then add a simple connection between the hip rafter and the cross beam. The entire arrangement of cross beam and three joints could be created as a custom connection so that it is quick and easy to place in future. In this example the red members are part of the Custom Connection, which has a blue joint box rather than a gray one.
This can include other joints from the Connection Vault if your custom joint is a combination of common elements. When modeling your sample joint, do so in a separate file rather than in the actual project model. This file becomes a library file for custom connections. Ensure that you use good modeling practices, such as ensuring that system lines meet and assigning model roles to all of the parts.
Do not number the parts unless you want the part to have the same number when it is used, regardless of the model content. These are similar to micro-joints. Each one only creates one or two simple objects, but those objects have some simple intelligence, such as automatically putting a plate on both flanges of a beam.
In this example, you might model a plate manually on each flange, setting the size and position of the plates. However, when these plates are included in a Custom Connection, the position and size of these plates is fixed relative to the joint. If the beam in one use was a different size to another use, the plates would be in the wrong place at least once. In this example, you would select the Plate Along Beam Flange brick.
It places one or two plates on the flanges of a beam at the selected end. The plate size and position is controlled in the Properties dialog box and the gap between the plates is self-adjusting to the two flanges of the beam.
When this is used in a Custom Connection and placed on beams of different sizes the two plates are always placed correctly on the flanges of each beam. The range of Building Bricks available is going to be expanded in future releases of the software.
Ensure that all of the features and joint boxes related to the objects in your joint are displayed. Each prompt starts with Select.
A blue joint box should display around the sample joint. You can model a number of custom connections in the same file as the library file, but this should not be an actual project model. It only displays the files in the path. The prompts were defined when you created the template.
The joint is placed. In the limits of the joint definition and the parts it contains, the joint works in any orientation and updates according to the members on it has been placed. If you select this option you can use most of the editing functions on any part in the joint. For example, you can move the cross beam up.
You can also access the Joint Properties for any Building Bricks or full Joints that are included in the User Template and edit the properties as required, such as changing the bolt spacing. If the Allow object modification option is not selected you cannot edit anything inside the joint. If you select the blue joint box or any part in the custom joint and select Custom Connection Properties, the User Template dialog box opens, enabling you to toggle Allow object modification on or off.
After placing your first User Connection you can use the Joint Copy and Joint Group commands as required, to work efficiently when placing the joint in multiple locations. The following example shows the same joint in four locations covering different beam sizes and with different stiffener dimensions in one position.
This command can be used to create bracing in a specific area. It has the option of creating many common configurations, such as crossed, single angle, or multiple pitch from any sections. Ensure that X is horizontal and Y is vertical. Select whether to split in one or the other direction or both into two lengths. This is used to make the bracing miss a beam at the using Offset from top or bottom of your area.
In all cases ensure that the UCS is set with Z vertical. You can use the WCS for all stairs. Straight Stair It creates a straight flight of stairs with an optional landing at thetop and bottom.
This is defined using two points at either end ofthe flight of stairs the angled portion, not the landings. Enter 0 for left, 1 for middle, or 2 for right. Some of the stair treads have a fixed width so the width of the stair might be fixed until you change the tread type. If you change the width or height, the bottom point that you have selected remains fixed and the stair adjusts about it. Size Front and Back: Select the section from which you want the stringer to be created.
On installation, the target is Clear the option if you want to override the default Rise and Going values. Types 1 to 4 are made of grating or wood and can have a fixed shape and size, depending on the selected manufacturer. Types 5 to 21 are folded plates and you can define almost any dimension for them. Types 22 to 24 are custom user-defined treads and are outside the scope of this training guide.
The exact options vary depending on the tread type. These tabs work as they do for Step — General, but only apply to the top tread. These tabs work the same as for Step — General, but only apply to the bottom When modeling a tread. Transform Elements. Create Lat Tread activates a tread at the landing the front or rear level and the Step — Top group of tabs.
Saddle Stair It creates a flight of stairs with the stringers below the steps rather than at the side. It is based on four input points. A flight of stairs is created and the Saddle Stair Properties dialog box opens.
As with any macro, you can store your preferred settings in the Table so you do not have to input the settings each time. Spiral Stair This command models a complete spiral or helical stair based on a center point, height, direction, and radius.
Enter F for first or bottom tread and L for top or last tread. The angle of the fixed tread does not change. The angle of the other treads and total flight are calculated based on the parameters in the Properties dialog box. A spiral stair is created as specified and the Spiral Stair Properties dialog box opens. The spiral stair always includes a handrail on the outside edge. The inner radius is disabled if you have a center post, so you must toggle it off first to enable this setting.
If not selected an inside stringer is modeled from a twisted section. See Handrails for more information. Stair Joints There are two special joints in the connection vault for stair footings.
These are used normally, but have different options to a normal base plate joint, which are appropriate to the bottom of stringers.
Practice 15a Create Stairs 1. You can only add ONE joint at a time with this command. If the joint is already in a group, the new joint is added to the same group.
If the second joint is not already in a group it becomes the master of the new group. Upgrade to Master When you want to change the configuration of joints in a group you must edit the master joint because all of the editing of the slave joints is disabled.
However, you might not know which joint is the master. If so, you have several options:. When you select Upgrade to Master, the current joint becomes the master of the joint group, enabling you to edit any of the properties in the current Joint Properties dialog box. Ensure that all of the joints match the dimensions in drawings G and G from Chapter 1, Introduction.
However, this results in many sections clashing at their intersections. When you place joints from the Connection Vault, the sections are shaped around each other to avoid clashes and space is made for the connection plates. This is done by creating Beam Features that modify the shape of the beam. Additionally, beams might need to be shaped around obstacles or each other without forming a joint.
In these cases you need to create custom Beam Features. Practice 10a Open the Drawing 1. Open Feature Practice. This file has been created to enable you to practice Beam Features and to demonstrate specific points. This is done using the Shorten command, which can also add length to a beam.
It creates a straight cut across the end of a section and the system line does not change in length. The section immediately changes length and the Shorten Properties dialog box opens. Practice 10b Use a Shorten on a Beam 1. Try a Shorten on the exposed ends of the brown beams. Therefore, entering the correct value in the Y or Z fields in a Shorten command would be difficult. Regardless of the angle, the exact amount to cut off to meet another section perfectly is not always obvious section sizes are not round numbers.
To overcome this you can use the Shorten at UCS command. Practice 10c Shorten at UCS 1. Use Shorten at UCS to cut one of the red beams where it meets the blue beam.
It is a one step process rather than two steps and also has other more powerful options. The second section is cut back to where it meets the flange o the first beam and the Properties dialog box opens. Practice 10d Cut at Object 1. Use Cut at Object where a brown beam meets the blue beam.
Use Cut at Object where the other red beam meets the blue beam. However, you often need to be able to only cut a corner from a section, such as when notching around another beam. You can use the Cope command to do so. The cope is immediately applied and the Cope Properties dialog box opens.
This notch is always o Boring Out: Change the type of relief in the corner of the square to the section. Cope, skewed If you need a notch that is not square to the section you can use the Notch, skewed command. The cope is applied immediately and the Cope Properties dialog box opens. Therefore, if the system line is on the o Boring Out: Select the type of relief in the corner of the outside face of the cut.
Practice 10e Cope and Cope, Skewed 1. Use Cope and Cope, Skewed on the points where the brown and red beams meet the blue beam. Compare this with a Cope, Skewed on the bottom flange of the green beam. This tool is designed to create an ideal cut. The coping is applied immediately and the Parametric Cope Properties dialog box opens. You can also add corner relief for the cuts. This creates a shortening and two copes and other cuts for the corners if needed.
These individual features are combined into the Parametric Cope joint. The beam is cut immediately and the Element Contour Rule Properties dialog box opens. If not selected, the end of the. This creates a single shaped cut through the modified beam and a shortening if that is selected. This joint has more power than the Parametric Cope joint and is the preferred option in most cases. Practice 10f Create a Parametric Cope — Joint 1. You can use the Beam Clearance command to move a beam along a main beam to the required distance.
Practice 10g Beam Clearance 1. Use Beam clearance to move the second brown beam so that it is within units of the first brown beam.
A variety of additional features can be used to achieve this. Essentially, they all work in the same way. Rectangular Contour, Centre It enables you to create a rectangular cut out using a single reference point to define the location. The cut is placed immediately at a default size and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens. Rectangular Contour, 2 Points It enables you to create a rectangular cut out using two reference points to define the location and size.
The cut is placed immediately at the defined size and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens. Circular Contour, Centre It enables you to create a circular cut out using a single reference point for the location.
The cut out is placed immediately at a default size and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens. Circular Contour, 2 Points It enables you to create a circular cut out using two reference points to define the location and size. Polygon Contour It enables you to create a shaped cut out in a beam.
The edges of the shape can be straight lines or arcs. If you want to have an arc for an edge of the shape, enter A for the Arc option. Select points to define the arcs as required.
Each arc is tangential to the previous segment. The shape that you have defined is cut through the beam and the Contour Processing Properties dialog box opens. You can draw the required shape as a polyline before using this command, if you prefer. At the Please specify start point or select [Polyline s ]: prompt, enter P for Polyline and select the polyline to cut the predefined shape out of the beam.
Contour Processing Properties The Contour Processing Properties dialog box is very similar, but you have created the shape. This option enables you to set the clearance after defining the shape. Enter a value to expand the shape by that distance in every direction. If not selected, the cut is infinitely deep in that direction. When a contour is created it is usually infinitely deep in both directions Side 1 and Side 2 are not selected. When working on the web of a section, this does not matter.
If you are working on the flange of a section the cut goes through both flanges. To only have the cut go through one flange, you need to select one of the Side 1 or Side 2 options and enter a depth e. It is not easy to determine the direction of Side 1 or Side 2, so you have to experiment. It does not matter The depth is measured from the system line of the section. In this case to prevent the cut going through the contour. The Position flange nearest to the system line, you need to select one of the sides relative to the and enter a negative depth e.
The effect of the depth is more selected point can still apparent if your cut crosses the web of a section. Therefore, if you need a cut out but only know one reference point such as that the middle of one end of the rectangle must line up with the node at the end of a beam , use the By center option to create the cut out and then change the position in the Positioning tab.
Practice 10h Experiment with Contours 1. Try using each of the contour features. Try cutting the flange of the blue beam where the yellow beam cuts it. Try cutting the flange of the green beam where the blue beam cuts it.
Ensure that you only cut one flange. To return to the feature properties and edit them, you must select the green shape and select Advance Properties or Advance Joint Properties when editing an Element Contour — Rule or Parametric Cope — Joint. Presentation Type The green shape is often not displayed. To edit the feature you must display the shape first. Alternatively, there might be many green shapes in the display and you might want to hide them.
The cut out in the beam is always displayed, regardless of whether the green shape is displayed or not. Several options are available for changing the display of the features:. In the Display Type tab, select Standard to hide the features or Features to display the green shapes.
If you want to hide all of the beam features in the model you can do the following:. This cuts the beams straight across at a bisecting angle and then optionally welds them together. The beams are cut at the bisecting angle and the Miter Properties dialog box opens. If you want the beams to be welded together you must select Create Weld in the Cut tab.
The cuts are made and you are returned to the Command Prompt. Merge Beams It joins two or more beams into one. The beams must be in line, meet end to end, and be of the same section. If they meet end to end, the beams are converted into a single object. Practice 10i Modify Columns 1. Modify Columns C4 and D4 in the training structure. Modify the tops of the top of the RHS columns on grid C4 and D4 ready for the joint, as shown in the drawings. Practice 11a Open the Drawing 1.
Continue working in Feature Practice File. Therefore, you need to set the UCS as required first. Rectangular Plate, Centre It enables you to create a rectangular plate using a single reference point for its position.
A single plate is created on the XY plane at the selected location with the default dimensions. The Plate Properties dialog box opens.
Rectangular Plate, 2 Points It enables you to create a rectangular plate using two points to define its position and size. A single plate is created with its corners on the selected points. Rectangular Plate, 3 Points It enables you to create a rectangular plate at any angle to the XY plane using three points to define its position and size. A plate is created using the defined shape, the size is defined, and the Plate Properties dialog box opens.
A plate is created matching the shape of the polyline and the Plate Properties dialog box opens. Circular Plate If you want to create a circular or ring-shaped plate, you can do so with this command. Your plate is created with its center point at the current UCS origin. The plate that is created is a square plate with plate features for creating the curved edges and hole as required.
Set the length and width of the plate as needed. Use the icons for the three basic options or enter a value in the field if another position is required. A folded plate is considered a single object for drawing and manufacturing purposes.
Although very powerful, the software is not a sheet metal package. If a fold does not cover an entire edge, a bend relief is not modeled. Therefore, the fold is modeled as a tear. Corner reliefs are not modeled at any time either. Folded Plate without Position Adjustment Convert two neighboring plates into a folded plate.
These plates should be positioned with the joined edges touching in the required location. Any plate features that already exist in the individual pieces of plate are preserved and remain in the correct position relative to the piece of plate. Folded Plate with Position Adjustment It joins any two plates together into a folded plate. The second plate is moved and rotated so the selected edges are joined and the plates do not have to be touching at the start.
The second plate is moved so that the midpoints of the selected edges touch and is then be tilted to the specified angle. Any plate features that already exist in the individual pieces of plate are preserved and remain in the correct positions relative to the piece of plate. When setting the sizes of individual plates remember to allow for the plate thickness in your required final dimensions. The individual plates on the left are aligned before the fold is applied.
Create Conical Folded Plate It creates a folded plate between any two closed polyline shapes. This was originally used for hoppers or ducting type shapes in which rectangles are converted into round sections. The command can merge any two shapes together. Complete the required options before continuing. A shaped folded plate is created, merging the two selected shapes. TestManager Setup Overview TestManager Roles Connection to the TestManager.

F1 Help button If you keep the mouse cursor over Advance Steel Extension user interface Add-Ins tab and then press the F1 key, a web page containing the extension's help will open. This page is located along with all the other plug-ins help documentation, within the Revit Help.
The connections in the library are parametric; changes to any structural member s size automatically adjust the connection s size.
Then, easily modify their properties by using a large selection of customizable parameters. Automatic documentation Use customizable templates to generate more accurate part and assembly drawings that are labeled and dimensioned to your specifications.
Create more accurate Bills of Materials BOMs using predefined or custom formats, and help minimize material waste. Output compliant CNC files that are compatible with most machine manufacturers. How it works Section mapping is important while transferring via SMLX because it helps resolve the differently named sections between software.
Mapping databases will associate the two names and import the proper section correctly. The mapping database is GTCMapping The database is installed in a Program Data folder and can be accessed and edited with any database editor e.
Microsoft Access The Management Tools Table editor also offers some edit ability modify new lines, edit them. What are the sections automatically mapped The version of the Advance Steel Extension contains the automatic mapping for the most used sections from the US and UK and Australian Revit libraries.
Mapping per country The mapping can be done per country by selected the country in the combo box in the Advance Steel Extension Once this mapping is done, it is automatically saved in the database and will be applied automatically next time the same section or material is transferred between Revit and Advance Steel.
Here is the dialog box that you get in Revit when you manually map a section which exists in Advance Steel but not in Revit: You can press the Load Family button to load the required family and then assign the right section. If the Structural member option is not checked for an element in Advance Steel, then this element is not transferred to Revit if the Import only structural elements option is selected in the Setting menu of the Advance Steel Extension.
Revit modeling accuracy Having a more accurately defined design model in Revit enables better interoperability with Steel Detailing software. Revit offers capabilities and features to enable a precise definition and placement of structural framing elements in space.
You can align the end of a joined beam to another beam, structural column, or structural wall. You can also reset beam ends that have been previously aligned. You can disallow joining behaviour to position structural framing elements in an as-built condition. When disjoined, a structural framing element can snap to characteristic points along the geometry of another structural framing element.
You can use shape handles to directly manipulate framing element geometry and snap ends to other geometry or reference lines. You can quickly change the justification of the physical geometry of a framing element using the Justification Points tool. Autodesk Advance Steel is an imposing application which offers users a platform for a 3D modelling for steel detailing, design, construction, and fabrication. It is a useful application for engineers and various other field users to integrate the application in their environment and experience a powerful workflow with advanced tools, functions and modules.
