Ease of use

Pros

The automatic updates whenever I modify a model are really helpful. I appreciate the numbering system, the auto-connection feature, and the ability to create user-defined macros, which makes things much more efficient.

Cons

It can't generate automatic connections based on AISC standards and design codes like some similar software.

One of the most powerful BIM tool I have seen

Pros

I find this software simple to use for structural modeling. The level of detail it captures for complex cross-sections is incredibly accurate. It's one of the more powerful BIM tools I've worked with.

Cons

The software struggles when my internet connection isn't perfect. When multiple people work on the same model, it slows down and drawings sometimes crash.

Advanced BIM

Pros

I'm able to create detailed 3D models for any structure, which really helps me visualize projects and spot potential errors or clashes before they happen on site.

Cons

The yearly software upgrades can be a bit annoying. Adapting to new versions and features takes time away from actual work.
