SSD—F-02Frequently asked questions
What drawings do you produce?
Answers from SSD — structural steel detailers in West Yorkshire, drawing for fabricators across the UK.
The short answer
A full production package from a 3D model: fabrication, fitting and assembly drawings; general arrangement drawings (with the raw DWG); 3D views and erection layouts; CNC/DSTV files; material and bolt lists; clash detection; and IFC or ACIS export for BIM. Everything is issued digitally as multi-page PDFs.
Holding-down bolt plans and an advance material list come out early, so groundworks and stock orders aren't waiting on fabrication drawings. GA drawings go out for engineer and architect approval, and comments are picked up quickly.
Fabrication drawings, NC files, lists and erection plans are then issued in your phases with a drawing register, so everyone knows which revision is current.
