Upload an IFC.Get assembly and part drawings.
No more drawing sheets one by one in detailing software. Check members and quantities, catch model issues, and track fabrication and erection on the same model.

01 — Shop drawings, generated
BasicOne beam, one A3 sheet — straight out of the model
Click a member to get its drawing, or batch-export the whole model; ready for the shop, review and cutting.
Assembly drawings: one A3 sheet per member
Main view with sections and plan view, dimension chains, hole groups, part marks, bill of materials and title block laid out in one go, with a QR code to the assembly in the title block; columns also get their base elevation.
- Every secondary view is a section, with cutting symbols on the main view showing where and which way you look
- Visible edges solid, hidden edges dashed — stiffeners under a flange are never lost
- Bill of materials lists parts, counts and gross weight by nominal section
- Batch export: one DXF per assembly mark in a single package, with a list of any that couldn't be drawn
- A3 PDF

Part drawings: open a part, get a cutting drawing
Any single part becomes a dimensioned flat drawing on the spot: unfolded outline, plate thickness or section, hole diameters and edge distances.
- Outline, thickness and holes dimensioned automatically; very long parts are drawn with break lines
- Measure anything not dimensioned with two clicks, and the measurement stays for the next reader
- Batch export to DXF and NC1, one file per mark; plates can go straight to nesting

Works with IFC exported from common detailing software.
Have drawings checked by a qualified engineer before fabrication.
02 — From review to site
A helping hand from drawing review to site
Connect checks, shop briefings, site follow-up and team coordination around the same steel model.
Drawing and model review
Bring together model health, clash and clearance checks, and version comparison so engineers can review the items that matter.
Workshop checks
Generate assembly and part drawings, batch-export DXF / NC1, and connect the model to physical parts with assembly lists, quantities and member QR labels.
Site follow-up
Use erection playback to discuss sequence, track fabrication and erection by member, and keep unfinished work visible.
Team coordination
Share the model, pin issues to members, assign teammates and track resolution with less repeated clarification.
Clearer briefings Erection playback helps teams understand sequence, while component AR helps discuss scale and shape. Both support briefings and presentations.
Put everyday work in tools that feel natural
The free plan covers model upload, viewing and sharing; professional tools for drawing review, the workshop and site unlock by membership plan.
The pricing page lists exactly what each plan includes.

SteelCopilot in under a minute
Upload, drawing-to-model, health checks, drawings, takeoff and quotes, progress tracking and lift planning, all in one short video.
Run, jump, climb and drive a crane inside your model
Drop a worker into the model: WASD to walk, Space to jump, mouse to look — if you've played a shooter, you already know the controls. Walk up to the crane and press F to climb into the cab. Press G to command a whole crew, RTS-style.
Third-person worker
The camera follows a life-size worker through the steel, so you find out whether headroom and access work by actually walking them.
- Front flip on a running jump, back flip from standing, double jump in mid-air
- Press F at a column to climb, vault onto the beam at the top and walk along it — step off and you fall
- Hit your head on a beam? Press Z to crouch under it. Or grab a jetpack
- Stamina and health included; everyone in the model can see you
Drive the crane
Based on a 90-tonne all-terrain crane's load chart, so you can try out positions, boom length and radius right in the model.
- Slew, luff, telescope and lower the hook, one control at a time
- Stow the outriggers and drive off; arrow keys steer the front wheels
- Stops when it hits the building; boom and hook turn red when they touch steel
- Swing the hook into a worker and they get knocked aside — don't try this on site
Command mode, RTS-style
Press G: click or shift-drag to select workers, right-click the ground to send them there or fly them up onto the steel; select the crane to drive it. There's a minimap, and with the camera locked the view scrolls when the mouse hits the screen edge.

On phones, walk with the joystick in the bottom-right. Jetpack fuel and stamina grow with your plan. The worker and crane are for sensing scale and discussing positions, not a substitute for lift-plan calculations.
04 — So far
Platform growth
Cumulative by day, from real production usage. Tap a card to switch metric.
The curve shows the last year day by day; earlier history is rolled into the first point. Weight and member counts cover steel only: no concrete, slabs or floor deck; a member counts once however many parts it has, and bolts and welds are not counted. Only models whose metadata was parsed are included.
Bring SteelCopilot into your next project
Upload a model, check members and issues, then invite the team to follow fabrication and erection together.
Upload a model
Upload an IFC 2x3/4, GLB, GLTF, STP or STEP model and start once online processing finishes.
Check members and issues
Review member data and quantities, then use health, clash and version checks to examine model issues.
Keep the team moving
Share the model, assign issues, and track fabrication and erection status by member.
Models that must not leave your network
Run it on your own servers or inside your own network, with your brand on it and availability and response times written into a contract.
- Fully on-premise, works with no internet access at all
- White label, seats agreed for your headcount, single sign-on
- Contractual SLA: availability, response times, upgrade windows
