Specifically developed for structural engineers and detailers, Advance Concrete is the essential AutoCAD® extension for modeling and automated creation of construction and reinforcement drawings.

Advance Concrete saves you money by providing: an ideal project workflow with powerful tools for quick placement of the structural elements, automated detail view creation, rapid reinforcement,and a revolution arydrawing environment. With Advance Concrete,you are a few clicks away from using AutoCAD® to its fullest potential!

The work methodology consists of three design steps or modes: MODEL, DRAWINGS & DOCUMENTS.

A model allows to get drawings that allow finally to create the layouts. Using the Advance intelligent objects you can create a 3D model. The model acts as basis for the automated creation of execution drawings :

• Cuts or global and local sections
• Elevations
• Top views or bottom-up reflected views
• Isometric views
• Reinforcement drawings and views

All the created drawings remain linked with the working model, so in the case of any modification these can be updated automatic, as well as all mark texts and dimensions.

The generated views and user created drawings are used to produce the final execution plans.

These three modes MODEL, DRAWINGS and DOCUMENTS are accessible from the Pilot.

The Pilot is the start point in using the program. All different stages of a project creation pass through the Pilot manipulations: model conception, execution drawings creation, creation of the final plans.

In the Pilot, try to click on the three modes. You can pass easily from one mode to another without any difficulty and without impact in the models or the drawings, in a similar way as an explorer :
