Abstract— This project explores the application of BoCad software for the precise detailing of steel structures, emphasizing its capabilities in generating 3D models, shop drawings, assembly diagrams, and bills of materials (BOM). The study evaluates BoCad’s effectiveness in enhancing accuracy, optimizing fabrication workflows, and streamlining project execution.

Key aspects include load-bearing analysis, connection design, and erection planning, ensuring compliance with industry standards. The interoperability of BoCad with BIM platforms is also assessed to demonstrate seamless collaboration across disciplines. Comparative analysis highlights the software's efficiency over traditional detailing methods in terms of time and cost.

The outcomes aim to validate BoCad’s role in improving detailing accuracy, reducing material waste, and accelerating project delivery, offering practical insights for structural engineering applications.
