Structural Steel Detailing

Our Services

Structural Drafting offers both AutoCAD and “Tekla Structures” 3D modeling processes. Drawing in accordance with AISC regulations, to scale, and with our client’s standards, enables us to work more efficiently with your detailing department. We recommend the Tekla modeling process due to its expansive capabilities, proven accuracy and high degree of efficiency. Utilizing a multi-user application (several detailers working on the same model at the same time) allows us to process large jobs with speed. The 3D Modeling process offers the following:

  • 3D drawings                           

  • Anchor Bolt drawings             

  • Erection drawings                  

  • Assembly drawings                

  • Single Parts drawings

  • Various Reports upon request

  • Advance Bill

  • NC Files

  • DXF Files

  • Kiss Files

  • Fabtrol Reports

  • Other files upon request

Finally, our FTP site allows you to download current files on your time schedule.
