Generated output

Structural details generated by StructaCAD

From ETABS, Midas Gen or direct modeling, StructaCAD helps generate slab plans, frame elevations, beam reinforcement details, beam bar schedules, column sheets, masonry wall details, and material quantity summaries that can continue into AutoCAD review.

Drawings & reports

Structural drawings, rebar details, and quantity summaries for AutoCAD.

Starting from your structural model, generate slab plans, frame details, beam sheets, reinforcement schedules, column details, masonry sections, and material summaries.

  • Structural drawings for AutoCAD and DWG
  • Reinforced concrete frame, beam, and column details
  • Steel schedules, concrete quantities, slabs, beams, and columns

Slab plan drawing

Generate slab plan sheets with axes, columns, beams, slab labels, reinforcement tables, lightened slab quantities, and section details.

Frame detail

Create reinforced concrete frame elevation sheets with beam reinforcement, stirrup spacing, levels, axes, and section details.

Beam reinforcement breakdown

Show longitudinal bars, hooks, spans, stirrup zones, dimensions, and reinforcement marks for individual beams.

Beam detail sheet

Group several beam elevations and section details in one sheet so drafting review can continue directly in AutoCAD.

Beam bar schedule

Review bar positions, diameters, shapes, lengths, totals, and steel weight from the same beam detailing workflow.

Masonry wall details

Document masonry walls with longitudinal sections, tie beams, columns, wall tags, thickness notes and reinforcement callouts.

Column location plan

Show column positions, grid lines, dimensions and identifiers in plan view before moving into individual column details.

Column elevation details

Produce column elevation details with story levels, heights, section dimensions, longitudinal steel and stirrup information.

Material and quantity summary

Review steel lengths, rebar weights and structural material properties by element so the same model can support drawings, quantities and estimating.

Two ways to start

Start from ETABS or model directly.

Use the same StructaCAD workspace whether you are importing analysis output or building the structural layout from scratch.

For ETABS users Import .e2k files from your analysis model.

Reuse geometry you already modeled and keep the same data moving into production.

  • Generate quantities and pricing from your analysis output
  • Keep revisions tied to the model you already trust
  • AutoCAD drawings deliverables for AutoCAD review
See ETABS to AutoCAD
For teams starting from scratch Create grids, frames, slabs, walls, and foundations in StructaCAD.

Build quick layouts without opening BIM or CAD tools, then continue with AutoCAD drawings, quantities, and pricing.

  • Model directly inside StructaCAD
  • Generate quantities, pricing, and Unit Price Analysis from the same model
  • AutoCAD drawings outputs when the layout is ready

Process

One process, two starting points.

Choose ETABS import or direct modeling, then move through AutoCAD drawings, quantities, and unit price analysis in the same workspace.

1

Import from ETABS

Bring in the .e2k export when analysis work already lives in ETABS.

2

Model directly

Create grids, frames, slabs, walls, and foundations directly in StructaCAD.

3

Generate quantities

Produce structural quantities from the same model data or direct layout.

4

Build Unit Price Analysis

Turn quantities into itemized pricing with materials, labor, equipment, overhead, and profit.

5

Download AutoCAD drawings

Deliver drawing files that can continue straight into AutoCAD-based review and issue.

StructaCAD vs DCCAD3

A more modern way to go from ETABS to drawings.

DCCAD3 focuses on reinforced-concrete drawings from analysis geometry and demands. StructaCAD keeps that drafting goal, but adds a guided desktop and web workflow, clearer menus, direct modeling, quantities, unit price analysis, and AutoCAD drawings in one workspace.

Traditional path

DCCAD3

DCCAD3 is presented as a tool that uses forces and geometry from structural analysis programs to generate reinforced-concrete construction plans for beams, columns, and walls, with 2D/3D work, bending schedules, and cloud plan access through Nimbus.

  • Focused mainly on drawing generation and reinforcement documentation.
  • Requires the user to follow a more specialized engineering-software workflow.
  • Cloud features are presented around consulting plans, not as the whole model-to-AutoCAD-drawing experience.

Pricing

Need detailed unit price analysis?

StructaCAD can turn structural quantities into itemized unit price analysis for concrete, rebar, formwork, slabs, walls, beams, columns, and foundations.

Built from your quantities

Keep the pricing breakdown tied to the same project data your team already trusts.

Typical scope

Concrete, rebar, formwork, slabs, walls, beams, columns, and foundations.

Concrete Rebar Formwork Slabs Walls Beams Columns Foundations

Current path

APU from quantities

Keep the pricing breakdown tied to the project-wide quantities.

Who it is for

Built first for structural engineers and drafting teams.

We prioritize the people who turn structural models and layouts into documentation, not a generic CAD audience.

Engineering firms

Standardize output, handoffs, and quantity review across multiple projects and reviewers.

Contractors and estimators

Get quicker preliminary quantities and pricing from a model-driven source instead of separate spreadsheets.

Pain points

Still rebuilding structural layouts by hand in CAD?

When analysis, quantities, pricing, and drawing production live in separate places, every revision costs more than it should.

StructaCAD connects model data and direct layouts to documentation.

What slows teams down

  • Manual redrawing wastes hours
  • Quantity takeoff is repetitive
  • Pricing lives in separate spreadsheets
  • Drawing revisions create rework
  • Drafting standards are hard to keep consistent

Search intent routes

StructaCAD now covers the real ways teams search for structural drawing automation.

The Spanish content covers ETABS and MIDAS Gen workflows for structural drawings, rebar detailing, beam reinforcement, frame elevations, slab plans and AutoCAD deliverables.

MIDAS Gen to AutoCAD

Use MIDAS Gen model data to prepare structural plans, frames, details and quantities for an AutoCAD and DWG workflow.

Pricing

Professional automation without enterprise-software pricing.

Choose one project, an individual Pro plan, or a small-team plan. Existing customers keep the price already assigned to their account.

FAQ

Common questions before a team starts.

Who is it useful for?

It is useful for structural engineers and drafting teams that need to move from ETABS .e2k exports or direct structural layouts to AutoCAD drawings, quantity takeoff, and unit price analysis.

Does StructaCAD replace ETABS?

No. ETABS still handles structural analysis. StructaCAD can start from an ETABS .e2k export or a direct structural layout and turn that data into AutoCAD drawings, quantities, and pricing support.

Does StructaCAD replace Revit?

No. StructaCAD focuses on structural documentation and AutoCAD drawings, not general BIM authoring.

Can I model directly in StructaCAD?

Yes. You can create structural layouts directly in StructaCAD and move from the model into AutoCAD drawings, quantities, and pricing from the same workspace.

Can I export to AutoCAD?

Yes. StructaCAD produces drawings compatible with AutoCAD, ready to review and prepare for DWG delivery.

Can I customize templates?

You can choose sheets and set export defaults for recurring deliverables, but full template editing is not the main focus yet.

Is it for final drawings?

It can support production-ready deliverables, but your team should still review and approve the output before issue.

Final CTA

See the process in context.

If your team starts from ETABS or builds directly in StructaCAD, we can help you move from review to AutoCAD drawings, quantities, and pricing without rebuilding the same work in multiple tools.
