Great for creating 3D models of steel construction for contract documents or presentations.

Steel3D-CHI consists of various shapes which include square & rectangular tubing, single angles, W type shapes, channels, and pipes.

These shapes are constructed in a 3D solid form. You can choose where to place your shapes from “Center”, “Top Center”, then “Top Right”, down to “Bottom Left”, “Bottom Center” and “Bottom Right”.

In connection with this, you can rotate the shape placement in degree increments after placing the shapes.
