Advance Steel is a steel design application integrated into the latest version of AutoCAD. The Advance Steel model is the basis of 3D design. It contains and manages structural steel objects (for example, beams, plates, bolts, welds), as well as structural elements and the relationships of objects to each other. Complex structures are created using Advance Steel structural elements (eg gantry frame or stairs), which include all the necessary elements, nodes and connections.

The Advance Steel program is adapted for the development of both standardized and non-standard designs. It has a large selection of cold rolled sections and lattice structures from common manufacturers (Albion, Ayrshire, Canam Manac, Canfer, Fisher, HiSpan, Kingspan, Krupp, Metsec, SAB, SADEF, Staba, StructuralSections, Ward, Zeta, etc.). You can create individual custom sections and other elements and save them in tables (libraries) for reuse.


New opportunities
- Status and production information in the model
Create your own approval statuses in Management Tools and make them available for Advance Steel objects in the Document Manager.
- Information about the position of the profile
Automatic receipt of the mark of the beams or the location of the profiles in space on the plans in the form of a label.
- Customizable break symbol
The ability to independently choose the design of the break line for nodes and objects that do not completely fit into the view.
- Axes Grid Labels
Manual control and repositioning of axis grid labels in drawings.
- Anchor Anchor Points
This new tool makes it easy to dimension anchor bolts in drawings using annotative dimensions.
- BOM Templates
New BOM templates for positioning in a drawing.
- Additional drawing styles
Added new drawing styles for different countries, which will increase the productivity and speed of documentation release.
- New nodes for purlins
New automatic nodes for creating nodes for wall purlins and roof purlins.
- Synchronization of Steel Structure Details
You can synchronize steel structure details between models created in Revit or Advance Steel.


List of changes made
What has been changed by the author of the assembly:
- The assembly is based on the original Russian and English distributions combined into a single package, from which everything that is not directly related to the installation of the Advance Steel add-on has been removed.
- For a modern installer, a solution was developed and implemented for choosing the interface language of the installed program.
- The interface language of the installer itself is set based on the OS interface language.
- The assembly does not include medicine. The cure is included in my build of AutoCAD 2023, on top of which it is recommended to install this addon.
