About the Structural Steel Blocks

The dimensions used to develop the steel symbols library were extracted from the 2nd edition of the AISC Manual of Steel Construction. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but in some instances fillet dimensions are not defined in the AISC Manual. It is recommended that if these dimensions are critical, reference should be made to the certified dimension sheet obtainable from the steel shape manufacturer.

Pull down menus are provided and work well with any prior menu customization and toolbar settings in AutoCAD.

All sections are drawn as Wblocked polylines on Layer 0. Centerlines (where possible) are drawn on a separate layer and can be turned off if desired.
