We are experts in the use of the SDS/2 software and our software development skills allow us to utilize the full power of SDS/2. We are able to quickly create parametric programs using the built-in Python programming language in SDS/2 to speed up many repetitive detailing tasks in any SDS/2 project.
We are also expert AutoCAD users and Visual Lisp developers so we are able to customize AutoCAD as required to automate detailing in many innovative ways, like our new BOM Director 2010 software and ShapeBook with 2D3DSteel which is trusted and widely used throughout North America for the last ten years.

We create accurate 2D and/or 3D models as framing plans and prepare the
shop details from the models using custom software tools. Our detailing methods
allow us to detail specialized projects that go beyond the capabilities of most
automated 3D detailing tools. We can receive and submit drawings electronically,
using our website server or via email in pdf or dwg format. We keep our clients fully
informed of my progress so there are no schedule surprises. Our commitment to on time drawing
delivery is a big part of the quality and integrity of our detailing product.
