With this version, you can now use PFC profiles and also create connections between beams and hollow square / rectangular columns. You can also now create a direct connection between a brace and a beam / column flange. Download the
What is DECAsteel™?
DECAsteel™ is a SketchUp extension that will transform the workflow of structural engineers, steel designers, and detailers. Anyone who has ever had to design or model steel structures in 3D can benefit from the tools provided inside this application.
Our Vision for DECAsteel
Design
Fast efficient structural steel design and 3D modelling using powerful parametric tools. Visualize your designs and catch interferences and constructability issues early in the design process.
Exchange
Export models and exchange data with other BIM software using editable IFC and other file formats. Transfer analytic models back and forth to popular structural analysis software such as SAP2000 and StaadPro.
Construction
Powerful tools for detailing bolted and welded connections. Automatically generate construction drawings, general arrangements, and shop fabrication drawings in Layout. Bill of materials is created on-the-fly from the 3D model.
Automation
Automate tedious steel 3D modeling tasks, connection detailing, drawing creation, and reports. Export DSTV part files to robotic fabrication systems to help automate the construction process.
