Master Steel Detailing with Advance Steel and Revit. Kick Off: June 10, 2026
Practical BIM-to-Fabrication Workflow
Most engineers graduate knowing the theory. Almost none can produce a fabrication-ready steel drawing on day one.
This course bridges that gap. You’ll master steel detailing, shop drawing production, and BIM coordination using Revit and Advance Steel, the exact tools used on real projects.
Modern steel projects require more than just structural modeling. Today’s workflows involve BIM coordination, intelligent steel detailing, fabrication documentation, connection development, assembly generation, and project packaging for fabrication.
This training is designed to take you through that entire workflow using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Advance Steel.
Over the next 5 weeks, you will work on two complete structural steel projects while learning how steel projects are modeled, detailed, coordinated, documented, and prepared for fabrication in real project environments.
You Know the Theory. But Can You Deliver?
University teaches you how to design steel structures. Nobody teaches you how to detail, document, and produce fabrication-ready drawings. Here’s what most engineers struggle with:
01 — Degrees Without Deliverables
You’ve studied structural design for years — but can’t produce a single fabrication drawing that a workshop can use.
02 — Lost on Real Projects
Design offices use Advance Steel, Tekla, and Revit. If you don’t know these tools, you’re dependent on others to interpret your own work.
03 — Detailing Blindspots
You design members confidently, but struggle with connection details, shop drawings, and the constructability questions fabricators ask.
04 — No Portfolio, No Proof
Employers want engineers who can hit the ground running. A certificate isn’t enough; they want to see real drawings, real models, real output.
05 — Theory-to-Site Gap
What happens between a structural design and steel being erected on site? Most graduates have no idea, and it shows in their work.
06 — Slow to Progress
Junior engineers who can’t self-deliver stay junior longer. Practical skills are what earn you responsibility and recognition.
From Theory to Real Project Delivery
This course doesn’t add to your theory — it closes the gap between what you know and what you can produce. By the end, you’ll have the skills to operate as a competent steel detailing professional.
BEFORE — Without This Course |
AFTER — With This Course |
| Knows structural analysis concepts | Builds full 3D steel models in Advance Steel & Revit |
| Can design a connection — can’t detail it | Produces complete connection detailing documentation |
| Hands drawings to a detailer and hopes | Reviews, checks & produces shop drawings independently |
| No practical portfolio to show employers | Portfolio of fabrication-ready project deliverables |
| Can’t read a fabrication drawing with confidence | Coordinates with fabricators and sites independently |
8 Skills That Make You Hireable
Every module is built around real project tasks — not slides and theory. You’ll leave with both the skills and the evidence that you have them.
|
01 |
3D Steel Modeling Build complete structural steel models using Advance Steel and Revit — members, connections, and full assemblies. |
|
02 |
Shop Drawing Production Generate professional single-part and assembly drawings that fabricators can use directly in the workshop. |
|
03 |
Connection Detailing Model and document bolted and welded connections with accurate detailing for fabrication and erection. |
|
04 |
Bill of Materials & MTO Extract accurate material take-offs and bills of material directly from your models — ready for procurement. |
|
05 |
BIM Coordination Work within multi-disciplinary BIM environments, linking structural models with architectural and MEP data. |
|
06 |
Fabrication Awareness Understand how design decisions affect fabrication, erection sequences, and site installation logistics. |
|
07 |
Drawing Standards & Checking Apply industry drawing standards, check shop drawings for errors, and review documentation like a senior engineer. |
|
08 |
A Practical Portfolio Walk away with real drawings, real models, and real documentation — a portfolio that demonstrates your capability. |
