Cocoon Suite 2024
描述
The Cocoon Suite 2024 includes Cocoon by ComSpace as known as fromSolids2Objects for Autodesk® Advance Steel® 2024. It converts unknown 3D solids to Advance Steel sections.
It further includes Flamingo which allows to tag the converted sections in Model Space. It runs as a connection and when updating, the tags' display is updated, too.
It also inlcudes Chameleon, which allows to find any associated detailed drawings of selected elements.
And finally, it includes Dragonfly, which finds the last drawings you were working on.
Converting unknown 3DSolids into Advance Steel Sections:
Have you ever found yourself tracing 3DSolids with Advance Steel or any other application? If yes then this tiny plugin can be a real-time and life saver for you.
With steel-detailer, it may happen that you receive those odd legacy models or just unknown geometry and you have to put a meaning to it. Or somebody you collaborate with, uses an application that cannot save in structural detailing common files, but only 3DSolids: These could come from Autodesk® Inventor® and other software or any free CAD solutions. Those type of files can be common SAT files, IGES or IFC files where no information about the section is attached to the geometry.
Cocoon researches the structural moments to find a possible matching sections for you. A tiny correction might be still required; remember, the app develops something out of nothing, converting the 3DSolids into "proposed" Advance Steel sections. This can help a lot if you are a facade designer, work with long lifespan oil, gas or mining plants or do structural detailing; overall it’s for everyone dealing with steel. It supports any international and custom sections and usual eight-point plates. The language can be altered to match your office standard. After the installation you will find two new commands in Advance Steel: Cocoon and CocoonMaker. See our documentation or YouTube on how these work.
Use Flamingo to save checking time. Bring the properties to the element and into Model View.
Looking for assembly drawings associated with the the selected member? Use Chameleon and speed up your daily tasks.
Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
