Optimize information exchanges between Architects, Design Department, and Construction Companies

Advance Concrete optimizes your communications with your partners through its complete integration with AutoCAD®:

  • Data exchange with AutoCAD® users: open the DWG file provided by the architect and use the powerful conversion tools to transform lines and polylines into structural objects: slabs, beams, columns, walls, etc.
  • Data exchange with Autodesk Architectural Desktop® (ADT) users: Advance Concrete recognizes the structural objects without requiring any conversions!
  • Data exchange with construction companies: simply send Advance Concrete’s, AutoCAD® compatible, DWG drawings.

GRAITEC and Autodesk Revit Structure

This integration between products accelerates the structural design and drawing creation when starting from a model created in Autodesk Revit Structure.

  • Advance Steel: import the 3D model created in Autodesk Revit Structure, add the joints in Advance Steel and create your general arrangement drawings, workshop drawings and NC files!

 

How does it work?

  • AC_exchangeInstall Autodesk Revit Structure and the GRAITEC software.
  • Click on the following link to download the plug-in:  GRAITEC Interfaces for Autodesk Revit Structure .
  • Follow the installation steps.
  • In Autodesk Revit Structure, a new menu option will be available: External Tools / GRAITEC export
  • Select the desired export option.
  • Import the file created in Advance!

Control your model stability with ADVANCE DESIGN

AC_synchronisationAdvance Concrete is part of the GRAITEC Advance CAD / Design suite.  This modular end-to-end solution offers the advantage of fluid workflow  from the initial structural concept to final design and production output. Our software integration, with its GTC technology*, saves considerable time by virtually eliminating double entries and redundant work! For example, Advance Concrete can retrieve in real time all modifications (section optimization, new structural elements, etc.) made in Advance Design and automatically update all drawings!
