Structures 3D Modeling & Detailing

Model-Based Structural Engineering Support

Structures 3D Modeling & Detailing for Coordinated Project Delivery

Global Detailing & Designing provides 3D structural modeling support for steel, reinforced concrete, precast, foundations, connections, stairs and other structural project elements.

Model-based workflows can help project teams visualize structural geometry, coordinate member relationships, review connections and develop project information before fabrication or construction documentation is finalized.

The existing service scope includes structural framing, steel framing, reinforced concrete, precast, foundation, connection, rebar, stairs, wooden framing, as-built and main / secondary frame modeling.

Core Modeling Areas

Project Uses

Modeling Support Across Design, Detailing & Coordination

A coordinated structural model can support multiple project activities beyond visualization alone.

Common Uses of the Structural Model

Actual use depends on the project scope and the downstream deliverables requested by the client.

Design VisualizationReview structural geometry, framing relationships and overall project arrangement.
Member CoordinationCoordinate primary and secondary framing, foundations and connections.
Connection ReviewUse the model to understand interfaces and support connection-detail development.
Shop Drawing SupportUse coordinated model information to support fabrication and shop drawing workflows.
Revision ManagementUpdate model geometry when approved project information changes.
As-Built RepresentationDevelop as-built structural model information where included in the scope.
Model-Based Deliverables

Outputs That Can Follow the 3D Modeling Workflow

Depending on project requirements, the model can support several downstream engineering and fabrication deliverables.

Structures 3D ModelCoordinated model of the agreed structural scope.
Shop / Fabrication DrawingsDrawing development based on the coordinated structural information.
GA / Erection DrawingsGeneral arrangement and erection documentation where included in scope.
Assembly DrawingsAssembly-level information for fabrication workflows.
Single-Part DrawingsIndividual part and component documentation.
BOM / Material InformationStructured material information where included in project deliverables.
Connection DetailsConnection-related model and drawing information.
Revision-Controlled OutputsUpdated documentation aligned with approved project changes.
3D Modeling Workflow

From Design Drawings to Coordinated Structural Outputs

A controlled model-development process helps organize geometry, project information, coordination and downstream drawing requirements.

Review Design InputsStructural drawings, specifications, project standards and required deliverables are reviewed.
Develop Structural ModelPrimary framing, secondary members, foundations, stairs and related structural elements are modeled.
Coordinate Connections & InterfacesMember relationships and connection zones are organized for project review.
Review & UpdateThe model is checked against project information and updated for approved revisions.
Prepare Agreed DeliverablesModel-based drawings, material information or other outputs are developed as required.
Project Value

Why Use a Model-Based Structural Workflow

The existing page emphasizes visualization, early correction and project efficiency as the main reasons for using structural 3D modeling.

Better Visualization

Review the structural arrangement and member relationships more clearly than with isolated 2D information alone.

Earlier Review

Identify model or coordination issues earlier in the project workflow and incorporate approved corrections.

Improved Coordination

Coordinate structural members, foundations, connections and related project elements within one model environment.

Downstream Documentation

Use coordinated model information to support drawings, assemblies and other project documentation.

Revision Control

Update structural information when project revisions are approved and keep downstream outputs aligned.

Digital Project Support

Support distributed project teams through model-based review and digital document exchange.
