In diesem Video zeige ich Ihnen, wie Sie in HiCAD Normprofile einfügen können. Sie werden eine breite Auswahl von Normprofilen sehen, die in HiCAD verfügbar sind und in verschiedenen Normen erhältlich sind.

I also explain where you can find aluminum profiles in HiCAD. This information is often requested, as many users want to know whether HiCAD has aluminum profiles in its database.

This is the profile installation dialog that was introduced with HiCAD 2023. In the picture you can already see the extensions that were added in HiCAD 2024.

In this video, I will also briefly discuss how you can create custom cross sections in HiCAD. It is important to note that there are currently no pre-designed sections available. You have the option to create your own cross sections as needed in HiCAD.

In this video I will explain how you can edit profiles in HiCAD using the "Cut to edge" and "Mitre" functions. You will see what results this produces and what additional options these functions offer you.

I would particularly like to point out the effects of the "Extend" function in this dialog.

In this video I show some profiles from the user profile library. This library contains a large number of other profiles that are already stored by the ITS.

In the HiCAD catalogue, our own profiles are called series profiles.

Understand how to make bleeds on round profiles - with the "Bleed on 2D line" command in HiCAD. An easy way to create precise bleeds on pipes and other profiles.

Use profile sheets from the catalog to insert sheets like profiles. You can then edit them further using the corresponding profile commands.

This dialogue no longer exists in the newer versions, as this option has been fully integrated into the profile installation dialogue.

Use the extension functions to quickly and easily adjust profiles to the desired length. You have 3 commands at your disposal to do this efficiently.

The 3 options in HiCAD 2025 have been combined in a single dialogue to make operation even easier and to make it easier to use this as an entry in the feature.

The "Warp profile" function allows you to easily realign and adjust profiles in the construction.

In this situation, you can use the Warp profile function to correct the alignment and thus save design work and time.

The "Replace profile" command allows you to quickly and easily replace individual profiles and profiles using multiple selection. The following image shows the selection if you want to replace a single profile.

To exchange several profiles, select the desired profiles and then right-click on one of the selected profiles to display the following dialog.

The "Add profile" command makes it easy to add an additional profile to an existing profile.

In the ribbon steel construction toolbar, you will find various options and commands for adding profiles.

In the steel construction ribbon, you can also use the multiple selection to select and add profiles with the right mouse button.

The staircase configurator makes it possible to define straight flights of stairs quickly and easily and adapt them quickly if necessary.

The industrial staircase function also includes the spiral staircase. This allows you to easily install a spiral staircase with the help of a sketch that defines the floor plan of the staircase. Just make sure that if you change it, it will be reinstalled afterwards and all changes you have made before will be deleted. You should therefore make sure that the basic shape is correct beforehand.

Here you can see very nicely how such a spiral staircase can look, this is not to be confused with the spiral staircase.

The 3D grid can be created easily and flexibly and can be used optionally in the design, as required.

The revision of the steel construction grid provides many new options for defining the steel construction grid. From HICAD 2026, it is now also possible to define your own free grid axes.

Whether the grid axes are at an angle to the axes or curved is now also possible using the new function.

With the grid labeling you can create the labels for the grid very quickly

You can see very clearly from the pictures that these can now also be curved and rounded with HICAD 2026.

Glass, or as it's called laminated glass in HiCAD, is incorporated in a wide variety of ways into the facade and steel. The Laminated Glass command allows you to combine the glass with a wide variety of structures.

Single panes of glass, as well as multi-layered panes, can be easily created with just a few clicks. Films, panes, and gaps are already available as standard. In HICAD, it's important to remember that these are simply templates from ISD and can be expanded as desired. This should be done deliberately, as every construction site has its own technical requirements.

Mit dem Profil Stab Konfigurator hat man in den verschiedensten Möglichkeiten wie man Profile gleichmäßig aufteilen können. Dies kann man sehr gut bei Aufteilungen von Pfetten oder auch bei Geländerfüllungen nutzen.

Every steel structure requires stiffeners for structural purposes that correctly transfer the load. These can be incorporated into all connections that can or must be installed according to standards. However, HICAD also creates many custom designs that cannot always be constructed using standardized connections; for these, the installation of a single stiffener is very simple.

The "Trim to 2D line" command enables profiles to be simply trimmed along their outer edge, regardless of the display option in HiCAD. Please note that when selecting the side, the outer side is always selected in relation to the profile axis.

!!!Make sure you select the correct side of the profile to be cut!!!
