IFC From Prosteel for Autocad

Keith Virtue

Dear Bentley,

Please stop treating Prosteel for Autocad users like second class citizens and provide an IFC Export / Import facility built into the product.

The "Structural Synchronizer" method is just a hack that barely works because it does not process large lumps of modelling for what ever reason I cannot fathom.

Thanks

KV

    Hi Fernando

    I have been using prosteel since 2002 (it was Kiwi software), I have always paid for updates too (I wonder which updates?)
    every year when they ask me for subscription money, I have been asking for a feature for IFC for years,
    the administrators always reply that it is not their job, they just want the money .....
    I in Prosteel have invested a lot of time and money, creating many macros for the parametric creation of components of my work    (you can see here  https://www.mcpsteel.com/macro_prostructures/ )
    these macros work only on Autocad because they are programs in Autolisp, on MicroStation it does not work.
    I believe that other non-programmers like me with Autolisp can do useful functions for their work
    As for Advance Steel, I know several colleagues who have abandoned it.
    I imagine that if Prosteel was no longer on Autocad I would not switch to MicroStation but I would opt for more complete programs which I do not mention.
    I leave you to your thoughts
    sorry for my bad english language
    and wish you a good day and enjoy your work

    Thanks & Regards,
