• ISM support (Integrated Structural Detailing)
  
  Intelligent Structural Design

  Flexible software to integrate your workflows.

  Bentley’s Integrated Structural Modeling methodology maximizes the interoperability of structural information among different specialized applications, CAD and BIM platforms, and design reviews for all authors and consumers of a project’s structural information.

  Structural modeling, analysis, design, documentation, and detailing – within integrated and flexible workflows – empowers intelligent structural design practices. The benefits are dynamic collaboration and increased data reuse among structural engineers, detailers, and fabricators. The results are more efficient delivery of high quality designs and well-coordinated and accurate documentation, along with increased project productivity, reduced errors, and improved quality control.

  Maintaining compatibility with architects and other disciplines extends these benefits across the entire project team.
  
  More information about ISM can be found here:
  
  http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Promo/ISM/default.htm
  
  This technology is now implemented in ProStructures.
  
  Here an example of a Revit Structure 2011 model:
  
  
  And here the model imported via ISM into ProStructures:
  
  

• StrucLink not a part of the installation anymore
  
  StrucLink (the interface to STAAD.Pro) is not part of the installation anymore. There will be a separate download provided soon.
  
• All former VB tools (except the new extended stair and extended truss) are now VB.NET
• PreCast detailing
  
  
  
  
• US Stick Drawings with enhanced display features for bracings / enhancements in overview / engineering drawings
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Enhanced Dimensioning / Display Rule Settings (Display Classes / Relative Part Position)
  
  
• Detail Center - Object List
  
  In the past the browser list collapsed each time if a modifation was done, i.e. if a Detail Style has been loaded. This list won't do that anymore.
  
  
• Web Grating - Direction Marker
  
  To determine the main direction of a plate / grating it is possible now to show a "direction marker".
  
  
• Stairs / Handrails
  
  An option to insert the connection plate of the handrail in stairs for sloted holes has been added.
  
  
• Detail Center: Display "Direction" of Endplates
  
  In the detail center options the display direction of endplates has been enhanced.
• Cope: Error when last Cope doesn't fit
  
  ProStructues saves the last settings of a dialog. If a cope has been created and then following cope wouldn't "fit", an error accured because the new cope wouldn't work. In the past the "template files" had to be deleted manually to make it work, now there is an option to do that automatically.
  
  
• Modifications / Update of Position Number Dialog
  
  It is now possible to avoid this dialog for all objects which have been modified.
