SteelPLUS™ Structural Shapes includes W-Shapes, channels, single/double angles, square & rectangular tubing, pipes, M, S, HP shapes and tees as listed in the AISC database. Optional metric databases included MAISC and CISC.

All structural steel shapes are parametrically drawn according to the "Manual of Steel Construction" of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc. Steel shapes use external data files for use with other structural standards.

One main dialog controls access to all shapes allowing multiple insertion points, layer, color, linetype control and the ability for the user to specify exaggerated dimensions, for details, before placement of each shape.

All steel shapes are created from a single polyline and made into an AutoCAD block. Each shape has built in intelligence for automatic notation.
