TITAN for Advance Steel

TITAN is a powerful and easy-to-use set of tools you lacked working in Autodesk Advance Steel. Its features allow you to speed up the work with the model and drawings: from the creation of the model to its verification and drawings production.

TITAN allows you to quickly receive all the necessary bills of materials and schedules for details and GA drawings. You are now able to access the model’s information in a convenient table format.

Autodesk Advance Steel is widely recognized as one of the most popular software solutions for steel structures, thanks to its powerful functionality and extensive capabilities. It offers a wide range of steel joints and robust tools for 3D modeling, creating drawings, BOMs and NC files.

However, like any software, it does have its disadvantages. Leveraging our 15 years of experience in BIM, steel structure design, and fabrication, we have developed enhanced tools that enable more efficient and powerful project work, addressing some of the limitations and challenges of using Advance Steel.
