Create Model Elements
Learn how to create different types of model elements, such as beams, plates, welds, processing or connections and how to modify their properties.
Topics in this section
- Beams
Beams are created directly in the model, on the layer defined in the defaults. - Grating
Learn how to create different types of grating and how to modify their properties. - Plates
Plates are created directly in the model in almost all shapes and sizes, on the layer defined in the defaults. - Processing
You can create processing features on basic objects, such as beams and plates. - Bolts
Learn how to create, customize and manage bolts, anchors and shear studs. - Welds
You can create welds as weld points or weld lines. These objects contain not only the weld properties but also the logical connection between the connected structural parts. - Connections
Advance Steel objects are added or deleted from the bolt or weld connection objects using specific tools. At the same time, the grip length (and bolt length) is modified. - Special Parts
Special parts are parts, such as turnbuckles, used in the Advance model and in the structured bills of material or drawings, that cannot be created from other Advance objects. - Concrete Elements
Concrete elements, such as beams, columns, walls, slabs and foundations are created directly in the model, on the current workplane.
