PROSTEEL 3D
LEVEL 1 TRAINING AGENDA – DETAILING




Course Outline

Duration: 5 days of level 1 Training

Pre-Requisite: AutoCAD version 2004 or more recent, Basic 3D knowledge in AutoCAD

Objective: The training class covers 3D modelling of a steel structure generating 2D drawings and B.O.M. from the model. In the process the students will learn ProSteel 3D tools/functions. The instructor will provide detailed explanation of individual ProSteel 3D commands. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to develop 3D models, automatically generate fabrication (shop), erection drawings and bill of materials (BOMs).

This is a generic class. Some items may be covered in further depth according to the needs.

The training manual covers extra features which may not be listed below.

Please note that the order of subjects listed below may alter in sequence.
