Review and how it works
ShapeBook with 2D3DSteel comes as a fast reference and parametric AutoCAD drafting software for structural steel design and detailing. ShapeBook is derived from the AISC Manual of Steel Construction LRFD, 3rd Version.
Structural steel shapes are accessible in US imperial and metric units. The dynamic application interface gives quick shape selection. Shape lists may be saved to a file, and the current list and shape selection may be simply saved when you exit and after that simply restored the next time you operate ShapeBook.
Your shape list and the currently preferred shape are simply converted to metric, or US Imperial, whenever the units mode is changed. You have the ability to search and choose shapes making use of about three assorted search keys, any with a separate property with minimum and maximum values.
You have the ability to use the weight and surface area calculator on the wanted shape to calculate total weight and surface area. All you provide is the quantity and length. 2D3DSteel 2.1 was thought as an AutoCAD VLX software that draws steel shapes in AutoCAD 2000 through 2005. Each of the shapes offered in ShapeBook may be fast added, in 2D or 3D, to the AutoCAD drawings.
ShapeBook with 2D 3D Steel comes as a time locked 30 day free trial. All of the application functions are accessible during the trial period. After 30 days the users will need to purchase a registration key to continue making use of the application.The detailing dimensions and design properties are displayed in ShapeBook's corresponding display tabs on an interesting dialog box.
ShapeBook makes use AISC criteria for determining the approximate detailing dimensions in fractional inches. The design properties are shown in decimal. The individual dimensions and properties may be copied into the clipboard and after that pasted into another software.
Tooltips provide practical descriptions of all the dimensions and properties. ShapeBook gives hard copy output to the printer, all on one sheet e.g. a diagram.
