Description

Steel Shapes Library is a powerful graphic design software that provides users with access to a comprehensive library of steel shapes. This software is designed to help architects, engineers, and construction professionals quickly and easily choose the right steel shape for their projects.

With Steel Shapes Library, you can be sure that all steel shapes are current with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th Edition. This means that you can trust the accuracy of the information provided by this software.

One of the key features of Steel Shapes Library is its user-friendly interface. The interface has been designed to make it easy for users to find and insert the steel shape they need. You can quickly search through hundreds of different shapes using keywords or by browsing through categories.

Once you have found the right shape, you can insert it into your project with just a few clicks. The software provides top, side and end views of each shape so that you can see exactly what it looks like from every angle.

In addition to providing 2D views of each shape, Steel Shapes Library also allows users to extrude shapes into 3D structural layouts. This feature makes it easy for architects and engineers to visualize how different steel shapes will fit together in their designs.

Another useful feature provided by Steel Shapes Library is crosshatch, centerlines and gage centerlines. These features make it easy for users to accurately measure distances between different parts of their designs.

Crosshatch and centerlines are on separate layers so that they can be turned off if needed. This makes it easy for users who want a clean look without any distractions in their designs.

Overall, Steel Shapes Library is an essential tool for anyone involved in designing or constructing buildings made from steel structures. With its comprehensive library of up-to-date steel shapes and user-friendly interface, this software makes it easier than ever before to create accurate structural designs quickly and efficiently.

Key Features:

- Comprehensive library: Access hundreds of up-to-date steel shapes

- User-friendly interface: Quickly find and insert the right shape

- Top/side/end views: See what each shape looks like from every angle

- Extrude into 3D layouts: Visualize how different parts fit together

- Crosshatch/centerlines/gage centerlines: Accurately measure distances between parts

- Separate layers: Turn off crosshatch/centerlines if needed
