New 3D Pool Analysis, Design and Detailing Macro

A new pool macro is introduced. Setting the shape of the pool is very simple. You can use preset geometries from the library or just edit the plan coordinates. Moreover, you can define different soil models for each wall stem according to US and European standards. Stability checks, seismic, and RC design under design and service scenarios are done automatically, and rebars are visualized in 3D.

New Pad Footing Module

ProtaDetails 2020 introduces a new pad footing design library which brings new functionalities. This is the exact same design module used in ProtaStructure. You can use it independent of ProtaStructure using your own analysis results and prepare the documentation.

New Rebar Label Settings

Rebar label settings has been enhanced to allow for more user-defined options for arrow leaders (pointing to rebars) and dimensions arrows. This offers greater flexibility for users to produce high quality drawings to their company standards.

3D Rebar View

Detail drawings are extracted from a central 3D model in ProtaStructure. Now rebar detailing can be viewed in 3D as well. See how containment is conducted precisely in 3D.

Automate Concrete Detailing

ProtaDetails automatically extracts and details all designed elements from ProtaStructure saving potentially thousands of man hours on drafting of your building structures.

Drawing Management

Automatically layout details into your drawing title blocks and take advantage of features including autocropping of beam elevations, column detail grouping and flexible scaling to produce professional, high quality drawings to convey your design.

Advanced Detailing

Handle complex detailing required to satisfy design and constructability standards including specific seismic provisions.

Intelligent CAD

Making use of in-built drafting capability, coupled with intelligent objects like rebar, makes any additional detailing or drawing refinement easy and fast.

Customisable

Use our flexible setting management to define how you want your details to look or use Prota’s range of country based templates especially developed to suit local drafting practices.

Value Engineering

Stay on top of project costs and variations with full reinforcement and bar quantities take off.

Changes

Manage and update details when model and design changes occur.

Design Library

Design and detail other components including retaining walls, stairs, foundations and piles.
