ETABS / MIDAS GEN → CONCRETE DETAILS → AUTOCAD
Concrete detailing software for faster reinforcement drawings
Import your structural model, review the assigned rebar, and generate reinforced concrete drawings for beams, columns, slabs, walls, frames and foundations. Export editable DXF files for AutoCAD.
Built for structural engineers, concrete detailers and drafting teams that want to reduce repetitive CAD work.
Concrete detailing output
Generate reinforced concrete details from one structural model.

Model-based concrete detailing
Frames, beams, columns, slabs and walls from the same model.
Document concrete geometry, longitudinal bars, additional reinforcement, stirrups, cover and dimensions without rebuilding every element in CAD.
- Concrete beam details, bar schedules and frame elevations
- Column sections, slab plans, wall and foundation details
- Editable, layered DXF drawings for AutoCAD
Slab plan drawing
Generate concrete slab plans with structural axes, beams, columns, slab labels, dimensions and reinforcement ready for AutoCAD review.
Column sections
Generate reinforced concrete column sections with longitudinal bars, ties, dimensions, clear cover and reinforcement callouts.
Frame elevations
Generate concrete frame elevations with beam reinforcement, stirrup zones, levels, axes, supports and section references.
Model-based detailing
Keep concrete geometry, reinforcement and drawings connected.
ETABS / Midas Gen → DXF
Continue from analysis models to editable concrete drawings.
Faster revisions
Regenerate concrete details after model and rebar changes.
Engineering control
Review sections, reinforcement and drawing preferences before export.
Two ways to start
Import your concrete structure or model it directly.
Use the same detailing tools whether your project starts in ETABS, Midas Gen or the StructaCAD workspace.
Import concrete geometry and sections, review the available design information and complete the assigned reinforcement for detailing.
- Bring in grids, levels, sections and structural elements
- Review concrete cover, longitudinal bars and stirrups
- Generate details from the reviewed model
Define beams, columns, slabs, walls and foundations in the workspace, assign reinforcement and generate the concrete drawings.
- Create grids, levels and concrete elements
- Assign reinforcement and verify sections
- Export drawings when the model is ready
Concrete detailing workflow
From structural model to reinforced concrete drawings.
Import or model the structure, review the reinforcement and generate coordinated concrete details.
Import or model
Load an ETABS or Midas Gen model, or create the concrete structure directly in StructaCAD.
Review reinforcement
Check concrete sections, cover, longitudinal bars, additional reinforcement, ties and stirrups.
Generate concrete details
Prepare frame elevations, beam schedules, column sections, slab plans, wall and foundation details.
Check the output
Review bar callouts, dimensions, section references and quantities. Adjust the model and regenerate as needed.
Export to AutoCAD
Download layered DXF drawings, apply your office standards in AutoCAD and save the final files as DWG.
Model-based concrete detailing
Spend more time reviewing concrete details and less time redrawing them.
Use the model to generate repeated drafting elements, then focus your review on constructability, reinforcement and the finished drawing set.
Rebuild each detail in CAD
Manual concrete detailing means transferring geometry, bar information and dimensions into CAD, then rebuilding the drawings when the design changes.
- Draw bars, stirrups and section geometry individually.
- Type reinforcement callouts and dimension the details.
- Revise drawings and quantity tables after geometry or rebar changes.
Generate concrete details with StructaCAD
Use the concrete geometry and assigned reinforcement in your project to prepare coordinated drawings and related quantities.
- Reuse geometry imported from ETABS or Midas Gen.
- Review and adjust reinforcement in the workspace.
- Generate frame, beam, column, slab, wall and foundation details.
- Regenerate after changes and continue editing in AutoCAD.
Quantities from the model
Connect concrete detailing with quantity takeoff.
Review concrete, reinforcement and formwork quantities from the same structural model used to generate the drawings.
Continue from detailing to estimating
After reviewing the concrete details, use the quantity and unit price analysis tools to prepare an estimate from the same project.

Inspect an individual element
Select an element and review its modeled reinforcement alongside the related quantity and pricing information.
- Select the element from the model
- Review its section and reinforcement
- Inspect the corresponding quantity table
Who it is for
Built for teams preparing reinforced concrete drawings.
A workflow for the people who turn concrete models and reinforcement decisions into coordinated details and quantities.
Review concrete sections and assigned steel, then turn the structural model into detailing documentation.
Start with generated plans, elevations, sections and callouts, then complete the drawing set in AutoCAD.
Apply consistent concrete detailing and drawing preferences across an entire project.
Review quantities associated with the reinforcement and concrete defined in the model.
Reduce repetitive drafting
Still rebuilding every concrete detail by hand in CAD?
Drawing member geometry, placing bars, labeling reinforcement and updating sections consumes time whenever the design changes.
StructaCAD uses your model and assigned reinforcement to generate those concrete drawing elements for review.
Work you can automate
- Drawing concrete frames, beams and column details
- Adding bar callouts, stirrup zones and dimensions
- Preparing slab, wall and foundation details
- Generating concrete, rebar and formwork quantities
- Regenerating drawings after model adjustments
FAQ
Questions about concrete detailing software.
What is concrete detailing software?
Concrete detailing software helps turn structural geometry and reinforcement decisions into drawings for beams, columns, slabs, walls and frames. StructaCAD uses model data and assigned rebar to generate details that can be exported to AutoCAD.
Which concrete details can StructaCAD generate?
StructaCAD can generate concrete frame elevations, beam details and bar schedules, column plans and sections, slab reinforcement plans, concrete wall details and foundation details.
Can concrete detailing start from ETABS or Midas Gen?
Yes. Import an ETABS or Midas Gen model, review the geometry, sections and available reinforcement information, then complete the assigned rebar before generating drawings.
Can I review and change rebar before generating details?
Yes. You can review and adjust longitudinal bars, additional beam reinforcement, stirrups, slab steel and concrete cover, then regenerate the details.
Can I edit the concrete details in AutoCAD?
Yes. StructaCAD exports editable DXF drawings that you can open in AutoCAD, adapt to your office standards and save as DWG.
Can I detail concrete without importing a model?
Yes. You can create grids, levels and structural elements directly in StructaCAD, assign reinforcement and use the same concrete detailing workflow.
Does concrete detailing software replace engineering review?
No. ETABS or Midas Gen remains responsible for structural analysis and design. StructaCAD prepares documentation from the model and assigned reinforcement, which must be reviewed before issue.
