7. ICC KC 4 S ruc PLUS INTRODUCTION Struc Plus Application Software is an add on drafting package offering a general purpose set of programmes to provide powerful tools and macros specifically related to the preparation of Consulting Engineering type structural drawings This package specifically addresses commonly drawn structural entities and via user input adapts these to alleviate the everyday chore of redrawing regular details or manipulating previously stored blocks This package may not draw all details or plan entities to within 100 per cent of the intended appearance but the user can expect to have up to 90 per cent of a requirement on the screen with all the correct layering colors and linetypes within a minute or two The speed and ease with which the entities and details can be prepared and modified using Struc Plus software tools and macros offer a phenomenal advantage over the CAD out of the box electronic pencil method ABOUT THE AUTHOR Peter Coburn started his drawing career with Brickell Moss Rankine amp Hill as a trainee structural design draftsman in their Wellington New Zealand office detailing reinforced concrete structural steelwork and timber for multistory commercial and residential buildings Mr Coburn studied part time studies for the New Zealand Certificate of Engineering which he passed in 1975 In 1977 Peter Coburn joined Rankine amp Hill s Melbourne office through an arrangement with th
