Advance Steel in Autodesk AEC Collection

BIM & Beam

Structural engineers, detailers and fabricators struggle with siloed teams, disconnected workflows, and varying software platforms that do not integrate seamlessly. This requires manual processes to bridge gaps which can lead to expensive errors and fabrication waste. Accurate BOM procures only needed quantity.
