We have started to use ProSteel 3D from
http://kiwisoft.de/prostahl/english/index.htm
It's the product that Bentley/Rebis has but their label on too. Rebis
Structural. But they are always one or two versions behind.
It's a competent 3D object oriented program. It's a bit messy with many
dialogboxes with many options. Quite a lot to set things up the way you want
it but otherwise quite easy to work with. But it's the best that are
reselled based on AutoCAD here. It has a good API and I've done some
customization to suite our work. I recieved version 16.4 that is for AutoCAD
2004 yesterday.
