    UPDATE: At about the 32 minute mark, I show how to miter a railing. If you want the miter to include a weld, use RAILING JOINT HANDRAIL from the Connection Vault.

    Thanks for sharing the video. At the 51 min mark, AS created the part drawing of the clip angle. Where is the callout for the hole size in the angle? Is that something you have to add with an annotation? Thanks again.

    Hi, thank you for your videos, they're interesting. You have a quite large model here. I am having lagging issues with my pc hardware configuration. Specialy when crating/modifying pickets in stair railing or even worse when generating or updating the drawings from the cameras or the sections in the drawings. What can I do to minimize the time it takes to do this processes? What hardware are you using on yor pc for Advance Steel (Not the minimum requirements)? - Mainboard? - CPU exact model? - memory Ram count with mhz, ecc? - Grafics card model? - storage SSD/HDD, read/write speed?

    Do you guys have any classes that can go into more detail that people can attend or watch?

    How can I set a layer in the advance steel dwg template that when the GA or assembly drawing dwg is created this same layer can be set turned off or frozen and not printed in the GA and Assembly dwg? It is that some times I need to use helping beams and those should not be in the drawing and I want to set them on a layer in the model dwg that when they are being turned in to the GA or assembly dwg they do not show up there as they would be on the layer that is set frozen and not printed. An other example is with guard rail posts on corners where two guardrails meet and one post needs to be set on this layer and of course un check everything in the behavior tab.
  • Hello guys, does anyone know how to setup advance steel so it puts created drawings(say GA, camera drawings, parts and assembly drawings) into the model space and not in pare/layout?

    Hello, Great video is has been really useful! However I am really stuck now. When I get to trying to generate drawings, I follow your instructions completely but my documents manager is not showing up as having any drawings in it whatsoever. No errors are coming up but they just are not being created. Under details tab its just says empty. I cannot find the drawings either on my computer under the details folder within the job. The only drawing that shows up is a template with a logo and the name of the job. Any ideas? Many thanks, Callum

    I have a condition where the web is trimmed out near the top flange of a W10x68 and the top flange is bent and welded to the web to make it tapered. Will Advance Steel do this?
