Learn how to create different types of model elements, such as beams, plates, welds, processing or connections and how to modify their properties. Advance Steel creates intelligent connections joints that consists of basic elements and dependent elements controlled by construction rules.

Skip to main content. Corner Cut Cuts a corner from your plate by selecting near the corner that you want to cut. The cut is placed at a default size and the Edge Processing Properties dialog box opens. Set the required size for the chamfer or type of the fillet.

The distances are measured from the corner along the edge of the plate. Bevel Cut It Cuts a chamfer along one of the long edges of the plate.

A chamfer is placed along the edge and the Weld Preparation — Bevel Properties dialog box opens. Enter the required angle and leg length s for the chamfer or select the fillet type. Note that Weld preparations are not usually displayed on the model in shaded views. If you want to display them you must set the Display Type of the plate to Exact with Weld Preparations. Split Plate by Two Points It cuts a plate into two pieces with a straight cut between two defined points. Merge Plates It combines multiple plates with common edges into a single plate.

Note that each plate must share at least one edge with one of the other selected plates. The type of object that is currently placed depends on the setting of the switch. The icon next to the switch indicates which mode is active.

It is recommended that you ensure that the UCS XY plane is on the surface of the objects that you want to join before using these commands. When a bolt pattern is created, the holes to be used by the bolts are created automatically. Rectangle, 2 Points Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on two points that define the position and spacing.

A pattern of bolts is placed and the Bolts Properties dialog box opens. Rectangle, Corner Point Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on one corner to define the position and spacing. Rectangle, Centre Point Places a rectangular pattern of bolts based on a center point to define the position and spacing.

Circular, Centre Point Places a circular pattern of bolts based on a center and radius. A circular pattern of bolts is placed and the Bolt Properties dialog box opens. This can be corrected using this command.

For RHS sections this can mean that the bolt heads or nuts can be in inaccessible places. Clear the option to have the bolt go through the section so that the Head or Nut are easily accessible on the outside of the section. If you want to place a o Number X and Number Y: Sets the number of bolts in single bolt in the that direction.

Rectangle, 2 Points instead. Select the corners of the area in o Intermediate Distance X and Y: The space between the which you want to bolts in each direction. One bolt is added to the middle of the o Changing one value recalculates the others.

Total Length area. You would not normally want to change the For threaded holes, a Total sizes, but can use the other values to create the hole tolerance of zero must be set to ensure required bolt pattern in the specified area. Set the Radius and drawings. However, a Number of Bolts. You have to recognize and ignore o Part: Select the part in which you want to change the hole.

The selected part is highlighted in red in the model. Set these other options to suit your needs. When using a Base Plate type joint, Anchors are placed automatically instead of bolts. If you have bolts or The range of Anchors includes hooked anchors of various shapes.

Welds are identified in the model by pink crosses. They are only displayed in the 2D Wire Frame visual style. The selected point is used in the drawings to locate the weld note. Set to None if a lower weld is not required. Add Connection Objects It adds additional objects to a connection.

If the connection is a bolt group the grip is adjusted to include the new object s. Remove Connection Objects Removes selected objects from a connection.

If the connection is a bolt group the grip is adjusted accordingly. Practice 13a Add Bolts and Welds 1. Add Bolts and Welds to the top joints of columns C4 and D4. However, while the situation might be uncommon in the industry, you might want to use that configuration many times.

To do so you can create a Custom Connection to suit your needs. For example, a conservatory manufacturer wants to have concealed connections between members and designs a special joint for this purpose. Therefore, they create a Custom Connection. You can also use a Custom Connection when you have a common arrangement of several beams and joints that are often repeated, such as the bottom of a hip rafter.

Different people have different solutions for connecting the bottom of the hip rafter. One variation would be to create a cross beam at an angle, add a simple connection on either end of the cross beam, and then add a simple connection between the hip rafter and the cross beam.

The entire arrangement of cross beam and three joints could be created as a custom connection so that it is quick and easy to place in future. In this example the red members are part of the Custom Connection, which has a blue joint box rather than a gray one. This can include other joints from the Connection Vault if your custom joint is a combination of common elements.

When modeling your sample joint, do so in a separate file rather than in the actual project model. This file becomes a library file for custom connections. Ensure that you use good modeling practices, such as ensuring that system lines meet and assigning model roles to all of the parts.

Do not number the parts unless you want the part to have the same number when it is used, regardless of the model content. These are similar to micro-joints. Each one only creates one or two simple objects, but those objects have some simple intelligence, such as automatically putting a plate on both flanges of a beam.

In this example, you might model a plate manually on each flange, setting the size and position of the plates. However, when these plates are included in a Custom Connection, the position and size of these plates is fixed relative to the joint.

If the beam in one use was a different size to another use, the plates would be in the wrong place at least once. In this example, you would select the Plate Along Beam Flange brick. It places one or two plates on the flanges of a beam at the selected end.

The plate size and position is controlled in the Properties dialog box and the gap between the plates is self-adjusting to the two flanges of the beam. When this is used in a Custom Connection and placed on beams of different sizes the two plates are always placed correctly on the flanges of each beam.

The range of Building Bricks available is going to be expanded in future releases of the software. Ensure that all of the features and joint boxes related to the objects in your joint are displayed. Each prompt starts with Select. A blue joint box should display around the sample joint.

You can model a number of custom connections in the same file as the library file, but this should not be an actual project model. It only displays the files in the path. The prompts were defined when you created the template. The joint is placed. In the limits of the joint definition and the parts it contains, the joint works in any orientation and updates according to the members on it has been placed.

If you select this option you can use most of the editing functions on any part in the joint. For example, you can move the cross beam up. You can also access the Joint Properties for any Building Bricks or full Joints that are included in the User Template and edit the properties as required, such as changing the bolt spacing.

If the Allow object modification option is not selected you cannot edit anything inside the joint. If you select the blue joint box or any part in the custom joint and select Custom Connection Properties, the User Template dialog box opens, enabling you to toggle Allow object modification on or off. After placing your first User Connection you can use the Joint Copy and Joint Group commands as required, to work efficiently when placing the joint in multiple locations.

The following example shows the same joint in four locations covering different beam sizes and with different stiffener dimensions in one position. This command can be used to create bracing in a specific area. It has the option of creating many common configurations, such as crossed, single angle, or multiple pitch from any sections. Ensure that X is horizontal and Y is vertical. Select whether to split in one or the other direction or both into two lengths.

This is used to make the bracing miss a beam at the using Offset from top or bottom of your area. In all cases ensure that the UCS is set with Z vertical. You can use the WCS for all stairs.

Straight Stair It creates a straight flight of stairs with an optional landing at thetop and bottom. This is defined using two points at either end ofthe flight of stairs the angled portion, not the landings. Enter 0 for left, 1 for middle, or 2 for right.

Some of the stair treads have a fixed width so the width of the stair might be fixed until you change the tread type. If you change the width or height, the bottom point that you have selected remains fixed and the stair adjusts about it. Size Front and Back: Select the section from which you want the stringer to be created. On installation, the target is Clear the option if you want to override the default Rise and Going values. Types 1 to 4 are made of grating or wood and can have a fixed shape and size, depending on the selected manufacturer.

Types 5 to 21 are folded plates and you can define almost any dimension for them. Types 22 to 24 are custom user-defined treads and are outside the scope of this training guide.

The exact options vary depending on the tread type. These tabs work as they do for Step — General, but only apply to the top tread. These tabs work the same as for Step — General, but only apply to the bottom When modeling a tread. Transform Elements. Create Lat Tread activates a tread at the landing the front or rear level and the Step — Top group of tabs.

Saddle Stair It creates a flight of stairs with the stringers below the steps rather than at the side. It is based on four input points. A flight of stairs is created and the Saddle Stair Properties dialog box opens. As with any macro, you can store your preferred settings in the Table so you do not have to input the settings each time.

Spiral Stair This command models a complete spiral or helical stair based on a center point, height, direction, and radius. Enter F for first or bottom tread and L for top or last tread.

The angle of the fixed tread does not change. The angle of the other treads and total flight are calculated based on the parameters in the Properties dialog box.

A spiral stair is created as specified and the Spiral Stair Properties dialog box opens. The spiral stair always includes a handrail on the outside edge. The inner radius is disabled if you have a center post, so you must toggle it off first to enable this setting.

If not selected an inside stringer is modeled from a twisted section. See Handrails for more information. Stair Joints There are two special joints in the connection vault for stair footings. These are used normally, but have different options to a normal base plate joint, which are appropriate to the bottom of stringers. Practice 15a Create Stairs 1. Create the stairs in the training structure.

Model the stairs in the training structure according to the drawings and apply the appropriate joints at the top and bottom of the stringers. The rail must be placed on existing sections in your model. The railing does not have to cover the full length of the selected sections. Railings can be created on slopes such as stair stringers or horizontal beams. They can be straight or curved and go around corners. They do not have to be exactly end to end, but must make a sensible and obvious path for the rail to follow.

If so, enter Yes and select a nosing point. Otherwise, enter No. The default railing is created along the specified path and the Railing Properties dialog box opens. If cleared, a fixed number of posts are created at the resulting spacing. If cleared, the entire length of the rail is used to calculate the spacing and quantity of posts, even if the space goes around a corner.

If this would cause a clash e. Enter a negative value to make the rail shorter. If using a tube for the top rail, the distance is measured to the center line of the tube. If using another section, the distance is measured to the top of the section. You can also select to end at the last rail post. If there is only one middle rail, the balusters go to the top handrail.

You can select whether to have a rail at all on the horizontal or sloping sections of the rail. Any railing created with the macro is constructed as a set of fabricated assemblies, one per each beam selected.

The top rail is one length per assembly, regardless of how long that is. As with any macro, you can store your preferred settings in the Table to you do not have to input the settings each time. If the table has an entry for the section size that is selected when placing the rail, it automatically selects that specification of railing. When selecting end points for the railing, special grips are placed at these points.

Alternatively, you can adjust the overall length of your railing by moving these grips. Select the type of joint that you want to use: Miter cut or Elbow, and complete the properties as needed.

If you select Elbow, the inserted curved piece of beam matches the section of the first piece of rail. Practice 15b Add Railings 1. Add all of the railings to the training structure. Add all of the railings to the training structure according to the drawings. Select the appropriate parameters that match the drawings where specified or shown. Try to ensure that all of the joints are smooth and avoid clashes in all of the locations.

A ladder is created and the Cage Ladder Properties dialog box opens. Use the settings on this tab to do so. The Wall distance option moves the ladder away from the selected points. Select the type and properties on this tab. If selected the cage stops at the exit height and enables you to use separate settings for an exit cage. You can also select a cage that has exits on the side of the ladder, rather than in front of the climber.

As with any macro, you can store your preferred settings in the table so that you do not have to input the settings each time. Practice 15c Add a Cage Ladder 1. Add a cage ladder to the training structure. Create the cage ladder in the training structure as shown in the drawings. Select your own properties where they are not defined in the drawings. Similar standard panels can also be used for decking. These panels are often complex shapes and must be placed at fixed pitches.

Define Cladding Area The first stage of the cladding process is to define the area to clad. This area can be any shape, but must be in a single plane. If you enter Yes, the panel length splits at the supporting beams. Always delete the selected object. If you do not do so, a Cladding Area Object and a Polyline are created on top of each other making it difficult to select the correct item later.

Define Cladding Opening If you want to have openings in your cladding you must define them as the second stage of the process. Note that this shape must be in the same plane as the cladding area. A Cladding Opening Object is created that matches the polyline. Always delete the selected objects or you create an opening area object that is on top of the polyline.

Create Claddings The third and final stage is to create the cladding in the defined areas. The cladding panels are created and the Cladding Properties dialog box opens. The orientation and finish properties can also be set. The last panel width is reduced accordingly to fit the area. If set to Level according to slope the panel lengths vary to fit the shape of the area. If set to Sloping Cuts the panels are cut at an angle this is always a straight cut to best fit the defined area. Therefore, it is not unusual for the cladding area to be drawn on top of existing beams.

In these situations, various tools are available to help you when drawing and selecting such objects. With 3D snaps active, the Osnaps work as normal. In 2D Osnap mode, when you hover the cursor over an Osnap point, an additional symbol displays in line with the point but on the current XY plane i.

When you select an Osnap in this mode the point is located on the XY plane. Cycle Select After drawing the polyline it might be hard to select it when it is on top of other objects. You can turn layers off to make this process easier. If you want to toggle it on, click Customization to expand the menu in the Status Bar and select Selection Cycling. Project Explorer — Model Views If you are still having trouble displaying the required objects clearly, you might want to limit what is on screen to just the relevant objects in the required area.

You can do so using Model Views. When active, a Model View hides everything but the selected area. When turned off everything is displayed. The Create Level dialog box opens. Select the arrow that is pointing in the direction that you want to use for your view and accept. The view is added to the Model Views list in Project Explorer. Levels are activated immediately but other Model Views are not. Click the Light Bulb icon again to toggle it off and everything should be displayed.

To ensure that no other settings are hiding objects and that the entire structure is displayed, click Show All Elements. You can close Project Explorer by clicking the small X in the top right corner of the panel. Practice 15d Add Decking 1. Add some decking to the mezzanine level in the training structure. Use the Project Explorer to create a Level at the mezzanine floor level Create a cladding on the mezzanine with an opening around the tank. Many structures are a mixture of concrete and steel.

Most steel structures are placed on concrete foundations. Although it is not normally your responsibility to design the concrete items it can be useful to display the basic shapes to make the models and drawings more complete. Instead, you select the size field and enter the required dimensions. When you hover the cursor over the size field, a formula is displayed, indicating how to enter the dimensions relative to the preview in the field.

By default, all of the concrete dimensions are in centimeters. For example, for Square Hollow the formula is C b s r1 r2.

Therefore, you could enter C60 10 10 20 for a mm square beam with mm thick walls, a mm inside radius, and a mm outside radius. Generally, if the finished shape is correct it does not matter to your design how the fitting is done. Properties for controlling this are located in the Automatic Fitter tab in the Advance Properties, but that is outside the scope of this training guide. Practice 16a Create Concrete Foundations 1. Model the concrete foundations in the training structure.

Create Continuous and Isolated footings in the training structure, similar to those shown in the drawings. It would be useful to display these objects in the model so you can avoid clashes and to help in communication. Alternatively, you might sometimes want to include special proprietary parts in your structures. It might not be appropriate to model these items out of Advance Steel objects, but you can still include them in your model as Special Parts.

The WCS origin in this file should be placed in a useful location because it becomes the insertion point of the part. If you have already used the part in this model, you can select its name in the Block Name drop-down list. If you want to include the weight of the part in your model e. Therefore, to ensure that these parts do not get part numbers or display in the Bills of Materials, you should clear the Used for numbering and Used for bill-of-material options as required.

When you close the Properties dialog box the part is inserted. Anything that can be Special Parts in your model are included in part numbering, bills of turned into an materials, and weight calculations depending on the properties that AutoCAD solid object have been set. If you need used as a special other snap points, such as mounting hole centers, you can place part. This can be any AutoCAD points in the special part file at the required points before kind of 3D model that inserting it into your model.

These points are then available as AutoCAD can import. Detail Most, if not all 3D drawings of Special Parts cannot be created. Practice 16b Insert the Tank 1. Insert the tank into the training structure. The tank on the outside platform is a special part that is located in Mechanical Part. Insert it into the model correctly. For example, you might be working on a level in the middle of a structure and find that it does not display clearly with the rest of the structure displayed.

Alternatively, you might want to isolate a wing of a building to display it from all angles without the rest of the building being in the way. You can use the Project Explorer to do this. It contains tools for isolating selected objects on the screen based on various conditions. Isolating the objects on screen makes it easier to see what you are working on, reduces the processing load for handling the graphics of the structure on screen, and makes it easier to select the required objects when editing.

The Project Explorer panel can float anywhere on your screen or on a second screen if you have one. The panel can also be docked to the left or right of your normal working area.

You can move the panel by dragging the title bar in the example it displays Structures. These are used to create a slice through your structure based on the height in the WCS. They are useful in structures that have multiple stories that each have a flat floor, such as mezzanines, racking, or buildings.

Below the building would suit basements or cellars.
