StructaThe answer
It should save you from repeating bar layouts, sections, labels and dimensions for every beam. StructaCAD can generate beam reinforcement drawings from model and design information, with reinforcement you can review and adjust. Test a continuous frame as well as an isolated span to judge how useful that automation is for your projects.
Put it into practice
Reuse beam geometry and design demand from the structural model.
Automate repeatable bar-selection and stirrup logic under configurable limits.
Generate longitudinal details and cross sections together so they stay coordinated.
Expose overrides for supports, laps, anchorage, congestion, and project-specific conditions.
An example of the output
Explore the drawing ↗Example output from StructaCAD. Your drawings will depend on the model and the options you choose.
Before you export
- Check that the design demand belongs to the right element and location.
- Review the chosen reinforcement, cover and continuity between details.
- Check the result against project criteria and applicable standards before issue.
Continue with the complete workflow
Inspect the reinforcement drawings and schedules, then review the details your project needs.

Can I change the generated reinforcement?
Yes. You can review and modify reinforcement in StructaCAD before producing the final output. Check the bar arrangement in the views you will deliver and regenerate the drawings after making changes.
What happens when my model changes?
Bring in the updated information and regenerate the affected drawings. Compare versions before issue. Review any edits made to the DXF in AutoCAD separately when replacing an export.
