StructaThe answer
You can use StructaCAD to generate reinforced-concrete drawings from model geometry and available design information. The useful part is turning reinforcement demand into bar arrangements you can inspect and adjust. Start with a representative beam or column and check the resulting detail before working through the whole model.
Put it into practice
Import geometry and, when available, design reinforcement demand.
Apply detailing rules such as cover, bar limits, spacing, and practical bar arrangements.
Generate plans and member details with consistent labels.
Review the reinforcement and export editable CAD deliverables.
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.
