Lattice Tower Application
TowerPro 3D
This is a lattice tower application using ProSteel 3D's VB COM technology. It is aimed primarily at the Microwave tower market, however, it can be applied to hydro towers, cross highway sign structures, etc.
The program contains a smart configurator and a powerful model generator that allows the user to build a tower structure including all the connections in a matter of minutes.

TowerPro 3D
is a multi legged lattice tower configuration & generating program that runs on top of ProSteel 3D. Here are some of the features:
- Number of legs:
- Any number of legs; 2, 3, 4, 5 etc
- Shape profile supported:
- Any ProSteel defined shape can be used in the TowerPro 3D configurator, however our custom connections were specifically designed to handle any combination of pipes, angles and schifflerized angles (angles squeezed from 90 to 60 degrees)
- Gauge line management:
- The program allows the user to specify and control continuous gauge lines in leg members of changing sizes
- A user modifiable gauge table allows users to specify gauge dimensions for each shape as well as establish relative gauges for varying leg sizes (L150x150 connected to a L125x125)
- Splices:
- But splice for angles
- Over lap splice (to be released Q4)
- Flanged pipe splice
- Geometry:
- Panel driven tower definition
- Panels may have varying height and bracing configurations and member types (brace types supported include Xbrace, Nbrace, Kbrace , diamond or panels with no bracing)
- Each panel can have its own arrangement of redundant members. Automatic redundant generation
- Tower may have sides of equal or unequal dimensions, panel numbers and bracing configurations
- Connections:
- Rules based connection generation capability including clearance spacing depending on members being either on same or opposite side of gusset plate (or leg)
- All custom connections can be edited in ProSteel 3D following the 3D generation of the Tower
- Connections can be generated automatically via the configurator or added manually within ProSteel
- General:
- Supports Metric and Imperial Units
- Automatic generation of 3D ProSteel Models
- The program can create multiple Tower models in the same drawings. These models can then be combined using standard AutoCad and ProSteel 3D commands in order to create complex Towers
