Steel Sections - CAD Libraries (saved in AutoCAD 2004.DWG format). In this section you will find FREE CAD libraries of steelwork sections used in various countries. These files can be freely distributed but only in their original form, the filename(s) must include the following: www.YourSpreadsheets.co.uk. If the file(s) is to. STL Steel shapes (Free). This is great LISP utility - not just a library of profiles but a real application to use inside AutoCAD or others 'like AutoCAD' systems. It has a graphical user interface with button selections to get what you need whether it is an end view, top or side view, or a 3D solid. All the dimensions are there.

Advance Steel is a CAD software application for 3D modeling and detailing of steel structures and automatic creation of fabrication drawings, bill of materials and NC files, was developed by GRAITEC, but is now an Autodesk product.^[1] The software run on AutoCAD.

• 1Features

Features[edit]

The application supports all basic AutoCAD concepts and functions (snap points, grip points, copy, etc.). When running on its own CAD platform, the application provides the same capabilities as running on AutoCAD. Advance Steel CAD platform serves both as a graphic engine and an object oriented database. Compliancy is assured between versions of Advance Steel running on its own CAD platform and running on AutoCAD.

The Advance Steel information is stored in DWG format.

The application includes AutoLisp (enhancing standard AutoLisp to include Advance Steel commands) and COM (VBA, C++) programming interfaces. This means that users can create their own customized macros for specialist requirements.

Advance Steel imports and exports to the following file formats:

• GTC;
• DWG;
• IFC. 2x3;
• CIS/2;
• SDNF;
• PSS;
• KISS (“Keep it Simple, Steel”)^[2]
• DSTV;
• DXF

The main functions of Advance Steel concern:

• Creation of 3D model using a library of construction elements (i.e., beams, plates, bolts, welds, etc.).
• Sheet metal and plate work
• Advanced tools for element collision detection.
• Clear workshop drawings, automatically labeled and dimensioned.
• Checking the model in order to insure a correctly built 3D model and accurate bills of materials.
• Automatic creation of general arrangement and shop drawings, fabrication drawings, fitting drawings, isometric views and fabrication drawings.
• Drawing creation workflow management (revision control, automatic update, etc.)
• Automatic creation of lists / bills of materials and NC files.
• Multi-User Technology - all users involved in a project can work simultaneously and securely on the same model, without errors.

Advance Steel provides instruments for modeling complex structures such as straight and spiral stairs, railings, ladders, etc. The program creates all necessary documents (including NC files) for the stair fabrication.

Specific features[edit]

Parametric steel connections

Advance Steel has a library of more than 300 preset parametric steel connections to connect Advance elements grouped in the following categories: beam end to end joints, base plate joints, general bracing joints, cantilever beam to column joints, plate joints, clip angle joints, pylon joints, tube brace joints, purlin joints, stiffener joints, turnbuckle bracings, etc.

The user creates all connecting elements by a single operation. At the same time, the connected elements are processed (shortened, coped, etc.). The software allows users to customize the connections:

• Set the parameters of the joint;
• Process the connected elements;
• Transfer the properties from one steel connection to another;
• Update the steel connection;

Joint Design engine

The software dimensions and checks joints according to Eurocodes 3 standards and AISC North American standards. A design report can be created.

Drawing styles

Based on a 3D-model, dimensioned and labeled 2D general arrangement and shop drawings can be automatically created using drawing styles. The drawings are created in separate DWG files; however they are linked to track changes. Thus, the drawings can be updated after any model modifications and the drawing revision can be managed.

The software has a variety of predefined drawing styles for the creation of general arrangement drawings and shop drawings for single parts and assemblies. A drawing style is a set of rules used to create a detail drawing and defines the elements that are displayed including labeling and dimensioning preferences.

Drawing styles provide the option to automatically create drawings and to modify the layout exactly to user requirements. Drawing styles are used in a similar way to AutoCAD dimension styles, line styles, etc. The predefined drawing styles are different for each installation and country. Custom drawing styles can also be defined.

Software compatibility[edit]

The application is compatible with:

• Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Pro (32-bit and 64-bit);
• AutoCAD 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
• AutoCAD Architecture 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017

Software interoperability[edit]

Autocad Lisp Steel Sections Free

Advance Steel integrates GRAITEC's data synchronization technology, 'GTC' (GRAITEC Transfer Center). This technology offers:

• Import/Export data in standard formats: CIS/2,^[3] SDNF, PSS, IFC 2.x3.
• Multiple Advance Steel users that work simultaneously on the same project and synchronize their models.
• Synchronization in Advance Steel of modifications made by engineers in other GRAITEC software (section changes, addition of structural elements, etc.).

GTC is Graitec’s solution for CAD / Design software interoperability and integration specialized in creating and handling a BIM (Building Information Model).

• Please look at http://cadlibris.com/
  We added blocks and datatables for main profiles.
  Regards, Vaidas
  
• thanks.
• Have you tried the Library tab of the Mechanical Browser: it offers thousands of 3D steel profile types, contained in blocks.
  Then again, maybe you are looking for 2D drawings?
  
• Another great source for DWG libraries, is www.cadforum.cz. They do have a 'Steel Sections' library.

  http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/block.asp?blk=4033
  

  The content of their libraries can vary greatly, and a lot of the text is in yellow, which of course, is impossible to read if you print in color. But, they do have very large number of user contributed libraries. Being based out of Czech Republic, the libraries tend to be metric.

• Cadalyst.com is a great resource for free lisp routines, I have been using it for years. Tip 1779, Al's Steel Mill is a great program, but it has a bit of an issue with metric shapes, however another contributor has fixed that in Tip 2074, Metric Steel Sections.

• thank you all.

  thank you.
• There are free cad blocks of steel shapes on this page:

• Does anyone know how to fix Al's Steel Mill to display 'Shape Dimensions'? This lisp worked well on Autocad but does not show dimensions for depth, web, width, flange, kdim properly. I'm sure its a quick fix for someone, I just can seem to figure it out

  In the attached DCL have updated Shape, Pipe and Tube, and Tubing Dims to display correctly. See comments for more details.
  Note the LISP looks like it needs a little work to get it going properly in BricsCAD. There are a number of chained command calls, which are likely causing the problem
  Al Rogers deserved more than the $50 prize for creating this!!

• Anybody has been able to use Al Rogers steel library in Bricscad?

  
  

  I was able to load it but the program did not appear after typing in the command, 'STL'.
• Sorry to bring up an old thread. There is a new source in the app section for 2D AISC steel shapes if anyone is interested. It also has the ability to create 3D steel shape extrusions:
  https://www.bricsys.com/applications/a/?steel-shapes-library-v2.0-a1082-al1901
  

• the mechanical browser library sections can be exploded or you can copy an edge
  to get a neat 2d outline.

  Look here https://dwgfree.com/cad-blocks/ , it seems to me seen on site
