Structures 3D Modeling & Detailing
Structural 3D Modeling for Framing, Concrete, Rebar & Coordination
Global Detailing & Designing provides structural 3D modeling support for steel framing, reinforced concrete, rebar, precast, foundations, connections, stairs and other structural project elements.
2D design information can be developed into organized 3D structural models to support visualization, coordination, model review and downstream drawing development.
Modeling scope can also include as-built conditions, in-fill areas, wooden framing, parametric and non-parametric elements, depending on the available project information and required deliverables.

AS
RCSC
ACI
Applicable codes and standards should be confirmed from the governing project drawings, specifications and client requirements for each assignment.
Typical Information Used for Modeling
Providing complete project inputs helps define model geometry, scope and downstream deliverables more clearly.
Structural DrawingsPlans, sections, details, member layouts and structural design intent.
Architectural DrawingsGeometry and interface information relevant to the structural model.
Model Scope / LODRequired level of development, model elements and expected outputs.
Connection InformationConnection criteria or details needed for model development where included.
Project StandardsClient-specific naming, documentation, modeling and coordination requirements.
Required Deliverables3D models, extracted drawings, coordination outputs or related project documentation.
Model Use Cases
How Structural 3D Models Support Project Coordination
Structural 3D models can support clearer visualization, earlier review and more coordinated downstream documentation.
VisualizationReview structural geometry and framing relationships in a coordinated three-dimensional environment.
Framing CoordinationCoordinate main and secondary framing systems and related structural interfaces.
Connection ReviewProvide clearer context for connection locations and member-interface conditions.
Concrete / Rebar CoordinationCoordinate reinforced-concrete and reinforcement information where included in scope.
As-Built DevelopmentModel available as-built project information for review and future documentation.
Drawing ExtractionUse model information to support development of coordinated project drawings.
Design ReviewReview structural geometry against available project information before downstream detailing.
Project RevisionsUpdate model information when approved design changes affect structural geometry.
Structural Modeling Workflow
From 2D Project Inputs to Coordinated 3D Model Deliverables
A controlled workflow helps organize design inputs, model development, coordination, review and approved project revisions.
Review Project InputsStructural and architectural drawings, standards, model requirements and deliverables are reviewed.
Develop Structural ModelFraming, foundations, connections, concrete, rebar or other elements are modeled according to scope.
Coordinate Model ElementsStructural relationships and interfaces are reviewed within the coordinated model environment.
Review & RefineModel information is checked against available project inputs and approved changes.
Prepare Model DeliverablesThe agreed model files, extracted drawings or related outputs are prepared for project use.
