During the project process from design to detailing, there are many discussions between engineer, detailer, and fabricator about how to connect the multi-material framing elements like beams, columns, and bracings.
For cases like that, you can place a structural connection to supply information about the desired connection and define the relations between the elements. Beneath several parameters for schedules and tags, it also enables you to store pictures and link to further documentation about the connection, like: connection requirements or design report.
The symbolic connectors can be shown in drawings and use colors based on approval and/or code checking status parameter for an easier review and/or approval workflow. If required, the connection between framing steel elements can be extended with detailed steel connections.
This feature improves workflow between design and detailing within the BIM environment.
