The “saving Section to Database” Dialog box will enable you to pick section types, the database it is stored in, and what the name should be. Choose inDatabase, and a dialog box will appear. This can be found in the ASD-Model tab in the tools panel.ĥ.) After activating the command select the created region, pay attention to the command line as it will prompt for another action. Select the inner region and accept, it should now look like this.Ĥ.) Once you have your desired thickness using AutoCAD, you can use the “user sections” command to add it to the database.I selected the inside diameter first in order to make the process easier.ģ.) Now that the regions have been created, I can use the subtract command to get the center region erased, representing a hollowed out circle. The outside diameter was drawn at 36″.Ģ.) I then created a region by typing in the “region” command and selecting each circle individually. This will be specific to adding large diameter piping, but can be used to create any profile, as long as it is derived from a polyline or region.ġ.) First I created to AutoCAD circles at a random thickness between the two. The instructions below will show how to create a user part in an assigned database. Steel is completely replaceable with the current software, but in the design of concrete structures, this software can still be used well, although this part is also being transferred to the Revit package.Pat Begnaud and Keith Dempsey of Keystone Engineering were curious how to add custom user sections into AutoCAD Structural Detailing.


However, Autodesk stopped developing AutoCAD Structural Detailing on April 13, 2015. Autodesk explains the reason for the stop by saying that it has produced stronger alternatives such as Autodesk Advanced Steel for this software, which has more capabilities and capabilities, but this is not a complete replacement, currently Advanced Steel only in the structural sector. All the projects we do in this software can be integrated with AutoCAD, which means the two-way communication between the two software. It is also possible to interact with another Autodesk software called Autodesk Revit.
