New approach to shop drawing review 

Speed up shop drawing review using Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is the leading steel detailing software in the US so there's a good chance that the steel fabricator will be detailing your next steel project using Tekla Structures.  In that case you can save time and effort using new tools specially developed by Tekla for engineers doing shop drawing review.
 
By using the 3D Tekla model provided by the steel fabricator, the engineer can better understand and more quickly approve the 2D shop drawing submittals. To see how this process could work for you, watch the sequence of short videos.

• A better understanding in 3D
The EOR can more accurately review the fabricator's deliverable within the context of a highly detailed construction model.

• Faster review and approval
The 2D shop drawings are linked to the model, making it quick and easy to find and approve everything on the erection drawings.

• Stamp the 2D drawings
In this process the engineer still stamps 2D drawings (pdf's) and returns them to the fabricator, matching your current workflow and contractual obligations.

• A more enjoyable experience
We hear from engineers working with the 3D Tekla model that it makes the job much less tedious while also improving the quality of their review.
