Create anchor bolt plan — Save. Create 3D view and node as required. Details of bolts Start connections. Clean up drawings. Create external project lists. Cap plate if required — Save. Create NC files. Beam to column — Save. Beam to beam — Save. After all the connections are made — run collision check. Check the collision report, verify errors. Check, locate and fix collision — Save. Audit checking Purge Advance Steel objects. Assign welds — if additional are required — Save.

Check the prefix settings. Number the model with the numbering tool — Save. Create a folder structure to store your projects in correctly. Create a projects or client folder and then create sub folders for each project. In that folder store the model, which then creates its own relative folder and required sub folders when you hit save.

This practice keeps all models and databases separate and avoids conflicts. As an option you can create an AutoSave folder location and adjust your system to save your automatic backup files to that known location.

Save your model at regular intervals. Use a suitable Name for the Model such as the contract number, project reference or place name. This can be useful later on in the project, as the model name can be listed in the drawing and NC naming and also be linked to the actual file references. Modeling 1. Columns- Always try to model so the Z Axis of the column flange is to the outside face of the building for perimeter columns.

System-line placement-When modeling horizontal members, roof members, floor beams, etc. This affects the assembly drawing dimensioning. For Columns, try to keep it in the center, unless you have a specific need for one column flange face to be at set location, as this means that if you change section, then the change in size goes away from that face, so the flanges still remain in line.

This is sometimes used where cladding is applied directly to hot rolled steel flanges. For Purlins and Rails, Try to keep the system line to the bottom face nearest the supporting beam, then if the size changes for the rail, the difference goes outwards, rather than altering the hot rolled frame set-out.

Always try to make sure your system lines meet for beams columns etc. This is like your wire-line in the model and with this it is easy to check the primary position of an object, also the system line is used as the datum for the dimensioning of the Drawings and in other aspects of the modelling.

Remember your UCS: this is a vital tool in placement and orientation of objects within the Advance Steel environment. For complex setting out of a building, say radial etc. Create a layer to put your construction lines on, you can turn them off or freeze them if you do not need them, turn them on or unfreeze them when needed.

Before you model a beam type, like poly-beam, or curved beam, consider how you are going to manufacture it and more importantly how you are going to detail it. For simple curves used curved beams rather than poly beams. For complex beams, that may appear too easy to create as poly beams, look at how the original shape line is created.

Is it from a series of curves of known radii, if so, model it as a series of curved beams as you will buy it as curves and then weld or joint together. Poly-beams do not lend themselves to being dimensioned as radii, they work on points based upon the references they were created from.

Note the difference between holes and contours, decide on how the hole will be produced, drilled or cut out via cutting torch or profiler?

This affects drawings and NC processing. For drilled holes use the Hole commands. For profiled holes use the Contour commands. The size of the hole makes no difference to how the NC describes it.

Try to use macros wherever possible for joints. Always name it with a suitable reference name and save it to the library. For example, bracings, you can set one up for flats and one for Tubed, save each to the library and then when inputting bracing you can just select it from the library. Always use model role, as this defines the prefix in numbering and also has influence with the drawing output.

The drawing styles link to the model roles to set the style within the process. This means that the existing part of the model will have unique numbers. These numbers will not be used elsewhere in the model in later phases. This means that you can carry on modelling and then just renumber at a later stage and the numbered items from phase 1 will not be altered. These references never change and can be a good way to track items whose final number has changed.

For example, if pre-ordering curved beams this reference can be used to track that component. Map out how you are going to approach the drawings. This may change the paper size you choose to produce the drawing on. Use the lists that are set for Curved Beams, plates, beams.

When building onto an existing structure you must remember to set that structure so that it is not used for the Drawings or BOMs. These settings are on the Behavior panel in the object properties dialog box. What this does is set it so that when the model is numbered, these existing components are numbered but with a negative value and are not considered for drawings or material lists.

For this exercise we will work in Imperial units. On the Home tab, Settings panel, click Project settings icon. Fill out the information on the Project info1 and 2 panels. On the Project Info 1 tab: the name of the project, the number, the building name and location. On the Project Info 2 tab: contractor, designer, detailer and date.

On the Preferences tab: Select the name of the Profile and the units. On the Revision Control tab: Select the preferred options. Select OK when changes are made. You can specify the height of objects using levels. A level is defined by two work planes: one defines the base of the level and the other one defines the upper part of the level.

When a new level is created the text is bold meaning it is immediately active. An active level causes all sections drawn to have both ends of the system line locked to the active level. If you change the altitude, all beams, and joints associated with the level will move to the new altitude and automatically includes a matching work plane. Double clicking on a level name will rotate it to a plan view.

To see the elements that are attached to a level, right click on the level NAME and select Mark elements. The elements that are attached to the level will be highlighted.

The level box will be displayed at 0,0,0. Save your project as 01 Creating Level 0. Select the Home tab then the expansion arrow and choose Project Explorer. The project explorer dialog box appears.
