- Product Overview
One integrated platform for the complete steel project lifecycle
SolidPlus2D is purpose-built for structural steel engineers, detailers and fabricators. From the initial design model through to manufacturing drawings, BOM generation and CNC output — every stage of your project lives in a single, connected environment.
Unlike generic CAD tools, SolidPlus3D understands the language of structural steel — sections, connections, fabrication tolerances and shop drawing standards are built-in from day one.

Automated BOM with Ballooning - zero manual effort
SolidPlus2D streamlines 2D detailing with fully automated BOM generation and balloon annotation placement. Accurate, customisable, and always in sync with your model.
-
Automatic balloon placement
Balloons link directly to BOM items — no manual mapping required at any stage.
-
Customisable BOM templates
Match your exact project standards, client requirements or fabricator formats.
-
Live model synchronisation
Update the model and the BOM reflects the change instantly — no manual re-entry.
-
Export to Excel, PDF and ERP
Push material lists directly to procurement, purchasing or ERP systems.
- Shop Drawing
Manufacturing-ready drawings. Consistent. Compliant. Fast.
Create precise, compliant manufacturing drawings using predefined drawing templates and automated GD&T annotation — and export in the exact format your fabrication shop requires.
-
Predefined drawing templates
Start every project with your standards, title blocks and revision history built in.
-
Automatic GD&T application
Apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing without manual calculation or annotation.
-
Multi-format export
DXF, DWG, PDF, STEP — export to any format your fabricators, clients or contractors demand.
- Sheet metal Design
Complex sheet metal design. Precision at every fold.
SolidPlus2D provides specialised tools for creating complex sheet metal components — from initial forming through to automated flat patterns, CNC output and bend tables.
