SDS/2 3D Steel Modeling
Develop coordinated structural steel models for beams, columns, bracing, stairs, platforms and project-specific steelwork.
SDS/2 Steel Detailing Services
SDS/2 Steel Detailing Services for Fabrication-Ready Structural Steel Packages
Structural Drafting India supports steel fabricators, erectors, contractors and engineering teams with SDS/2-based structural steel detailing, coordinated 3D models, shop drawings, erection drawings and project-specific fabrication documentation.
SDS/2 Detailing Scope
Model-based steel detailing aligned with fabrication and erection workflows
Our SDS/2 steel detailing services are developed from client-provided structural drawings, design information, connection requirements, project specifications and fabrication standards.
Shop Drawings
Prepare member and assembly drawings with dimensions, marks, weld information and fabrication notes.
Erection Drawings
Create erection plans and elevations supporting field placement, sequencing and site coordination.
Connection Detailing
Detail bolted and welded connections based on supplied design criteria, sketches or approved connection requirements.
Fabrication Data Support
Organize member marks, part information and project-specific outputs required for fabrication workflows.
Revision-Controlled Updates
Incorporate RFIs, design changes, review comments and approved revisions into coordinated model and drawing packages.
Fabrication Documentation
SDS/2 models developed for practical shop and erection drawing production
An SDS/2 model should support more than steel geometry. It should connect model development with fabrication drawings, erection information and controlled project revisions.
Our workflow focuses on coordinated model development, clear drawing output and project-specific fabrication requirements so downstream teams can work from consistent information.
Typical modeled steelwork
- Structural beams, columns and bracing
- Trusses and portal framing
- Stairs, ladders, railings and platforms
- Base plates, connection plates and stiffeners
- Miscellaneous structural steel components
- Project-specific support steel and secondary framing

Project Workflow
A controlled SDS/2 detailing workflow from engineering input to fabrication issue
Each project begins with clear design information, fabrication standards, connection requirements and review expectations.
Review Design Inputs
Review structural drawings, specifications, connection information, architectural references and project standards.
Develop the SDS/2 Model
Model steel members, connections and required secondary steel around the agreed project scope.
Prepare & Check Drawings
Generate shop and erection drawings, then perform internal checks against current project inputs.
Revise & Issue
Incorporate agreed review comments and issue controlled model and drawing deliverables for the project stage.
Project Inputs
Information we can work from
SDS/2 detailing assignments can begin from different combinations of engineering and fabrication information depending on the project stage.
Structural Design Drawings
Framing plans, sections, elevations, schedules and structural design-development information.
Connection Information
Approved connection designs, design sketches, connection schedules or project-specific connection criteria.
Architectural Drawings
Plans, elevations and architectural references used to support steel geometry and coordination.
Project Specifications
Fabrication notes, material requirements, drawing conventions and project-specific technical standards.
Existing Models
Reference BIM, IFC, Revit or coordination models supplied for alignment and project review.
Fabricator Standards
Client-specific templates, member-marking conventions, drawing formats and issue requirements.
Steel Applications
SDS/2 detailing support across structural steel project types
Detailing workflows can be configured around the structural system, fabrication requirements and construction stage.
Commercial Buildings
Offices, retail developments, mixed-use and business facilities.
Industrial Structures
Plants, warehouses, platforms, utility structures and production facilities.
Warehouses
Portal frames, mezzanines, support steel and large-span industrial framing.
Institutional Projects
Education, healthcare, civic and specialist building projects.
Stairs & Platforms
Industrial stairs, access platforms, ladders, railings and support steel.
Miscellaneous Steel
Secondary framing, canopies, embeds, support steel and custom metalwork.
Structural Frames
Beam-column framing, bracing systems, trusses and structural supports.
Retrofit & Extension Work
Steel packages connected to existing structures and phased construction.
SDS/2 + Steel Coordination
Connect detailing with shop drawings, erection drawings and broader steel support
SDS/2 steel detailing works best when the model and drawings are developed around current project information, clear revision control and practical fabrication requirements.
For broader requirements, our Steel Detailing Services can support shop drawings, erection drawings, miscellaneous steel, connection detailing and coordinated project updates.
- Model-based steel detailing
- Fabrication-ready shop drawing packages
- Erection plans and elevations
- Connection and secondary-steel coordination
- Revision-aware project updates
