Advance Steel creates intelligent connections (joints) that consists of basic elements and dependent elements controlled by construction rules.
Topics in this section
About Connections
A connection (joint) is created with all its parts, connection objects, and features using a single operation. At the same time, the existing connected elements are processed (shortened, coped, etc.) and a connection logic between the parts is established.
The Connection Vault
Displays all standard connections available in Advance Steel. Connections are classified according to the type of the connected elements.
Use Connections and Connection Objects
Learn how to display and use the connection objects to modify the connection properties, update connections or delete all the connection elements.
The Connection Library
Save your preferred connection configurations in the connection library for later use.
About Grouping Connections
Connection groups provide a way to link several connections together so that if one changes, all the other connections in the group change accordingly and continue to match.
About Custom Connections
You can define interactive custom connections, not available in the Connection Vault, with the desired set of connecting objects, save them and use them in your projects.
