The mill order,
before the drawings.
A fabricator orders steel weeks before the shop drawings are done. Sequence Creator takes your sequence list, assigns every member in the model to its sequence, and lays out the advance bill of material the way your mill order needs it. A draft in seven minutes. A person checks it before it goes to the mill.
- Sequence listyours: by area, by erection order, by grid line, however your erector works
- Assignevery member in the model gets its sequence, written into the model, not a side list
- Groupby section, grade and length, the way the mill quotes it
- Sumpieces, lengths, weights, per sequence and in total
- Lay outABM pages in your layout, ready to send
- Checka detailer reads the draft against the plan before it goes
From list
to pages
The job's sequence lives in the model, so the ABM, the shop drawings and the shipping list all agree on it.
Your list
The sequence list as you wrote it. Areas, phases, erection order, grid ranges, dates.
Assigned
Each member in the SDS/2 model is given its sequence, written into the model itself so the drawings and the shipping list agree with the ABM.
Summed
Sections, grades and lengths grouped and summed per sequence. Totals that tie back to the model, not to a spreadsheet.
Checked
A detailer reads the draft against the plan: the odd lengths, the heavy sections, the sequence boundaries. Then it goes.
What a person
still does
Steel is bought on this list. A person reads it first.
- 01Writes the sequence.How the building goes up is the erector's and the fabricator's decision. The tool follows the list it is given.
- 02Checks the draft.Every ABM is read by a detailer before it is sent, with the plan beside it.
- 03Not yet.It bills what is in the model. Steel not yet modelled, such as late miscellaneous, is added by a person.
Order steel sooner.
Send one package with your sequence list. The draft takes minutes; the check takes a detailer's attention, and then it goes.
