Book Description
Designed so that professionals can create the structural calculation package and the detailing as quickly and economically as possible. Contains 239 representative drawings, each one on a separate page that includes a description, a checklist summarizing the detail and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied. An accompanying disk in CAD format allows users to import the details and customize them to their needs. In addition, every drawing is saved in a separate file in .DXF format that can be loaded into most CAD software programs and modified, plotted or printed as needed.

Reader Reviews
I am a Steel Detailer. I draw steel beams, columns, braces and the like for a living. I thought from the title that this was a book about steel detailing. I am sure that I should have read beyond the title because although it is called "Steel Detailing in Cad Format", it is not a book about "Steel Detailing". It is a book of "Details" for "Steel Designers." I am sure that the author and publishers did not mean to mislead, but they could have come up with a more fitting title. For my needs the book was a complete waste of money. Comment | | (Report this)
