live, visual feedback on design reviews

Despite the prominence of 3D models and digitalized workflows in structural steel design, detailing, and fabrication, reviews and approvals have remained largely a 2D activity—but that is starting to change. With SDS2 Model Review, you can use model-based review and feedback tools to communicate with stakeholders live within the complete, visual context of the 3D model.

shorten review and approval timelines

SDS2 Model Review provides advanced tools for reviewing and validating 3D models created in SDS2. In SDS2's cloud-based model review environment, users can communicate notes, review statuses, and change orders in real time. With these tools, steel detailers, fabricators, and engineers can validate their models and design changes faster, reduce errors, and improve overall quality.

Collaborate smarter with live model data

Provide easy and secure access to your 3D model to any stakeholders, from detailers and checkers to the fabricator, engineer, and general contractor.

“SDS2 is a fantastic program for a small department such as ours. We have a small staff (2-3 detailers at any given time) and this has allowed us to utilize our limited resources to the greatest extent possible.”

Corey Juden, Anderson Steel Supply, Inc.

“Every release gets better. With tools that are being added, it increases speed each time. We are a small company, but on big jobs it has helped a lot.”

Donald Kelly, Interstate Steel Corporation
