With interoperability between Autodesk Revit 2015 and Autodesk Navisworks 2015 software products, as well as other BIM software, Advance Steel 2016 also provides a way to connect BIM-based design and construction through fabrication. In addition, Advance Steel 2016 helps speed time to fabrication by automatically generating shop and general arrangement drawings, creating bills of materials, and producing CNC files directly from designs. These powerful 3D modeling tools support a Building Information Modeling (BIM) process to help accelerate more accurate detailing of structural elements, steel connections, and plates. Slated to release next month, Autodesk Advance Steel 2016 software provides structural steel detailers, fabricators and engineers, with easy-to-use, yet comprehensive tools based on the familiar AutoCAD platform. In addition, in keeping with the conference’s music theme, booth visitors can see a fun “Advance Steel” guitar model in action, receive a souvenir guitar pick, and enter a random drawing to win a Gretsch G9200 Boxcar Round-Neck Resonator steel guitar. Advance Steel 2016 preview activities at the Conference include a special workshop being staged today and demonstrations throughout the week at Booth 820.
