Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the detection of members and connections?
The
detection
accuracy
depends
on
the
quality
of
the
drawings.
Assuming
a
high
drafting
standard,
Steel
Genie
provides
very
high
accuracy
for
member
detection.
The
accuracy
for
connection
detection
is
even
higher,
as
connections
are
calculated
based
on
correctly
identified
members.
Can I edit the detected elements before exporting?
Simply,
yes.
Our
user
interface
is
very
friendly
and
intuitive,
allowing
you
to
easily
modify
and
edit
detected
elements
before
exporting.
How fast can I generate a 3D model from a blueprint?
The
speed
depends
on
the
size
of
your
project.
Without
considering
the
review
and
editing
time,
you
can
typically
see
your
initial
3D
model
within
the
first
10–15
minutes.
What types of connections are supported?
We
strive
to
support
as
many
connection
types
as
possible,
and
we
are
constantly
expanding
our
database.
You
can
view
the
current
list
of
supported
connections
on
our
Connections
page.
Is my project data secure?
Definitely,
yes.
Steel
Genie
is
a
U.S.-based
company,
and
all
our
servers
are
hosted
securely
in
the
United
States
(AWS
infrastructure).
What standards does Steel Genie follow for connection design?
Steel
Genie
performs
simple
connection
calculations
based
on
AISC
standards,
supporting
both
LRFD
and
ASD
methods.
It
can
design
connections
based
on
shear
forces
detected
on
members
and
can
recommend
the
appropriate
method
(shear
capacity,
UDL
method,
etc.)
for
your
project
within
seconds.
How can I get support if I encounter an issue?
You
can
easily
create
a
support
ticket
through
our
system.
One
of
our
team
members
will
contact
you,
and
depending
on
the
case,
support
may
be
provided
via
email,
phone
call,
or
online
meeting.
Does Steel Genie support custom section libraries?
Not
at
the
moment.
Can I revise or correct missing or misdetected elements manually?
We
hope
it
won't
be
necessary
often,
but
yes,
you
can
manually
revise
or
correct
any
missing
or
misdetected
elements.
How is Steel Genie licensed? Is there a subscription plan?
We
offer
one
powerful
all-inclusive
plan.
