2. When working with multiple floor levels, does the grid move up to the next level to let you layout steel at that level or does it stay at the base and you layout your steel on plan view at the given level. Just not sure how you guys do this, in strucad the grid moves to the new level so you can work in 3D
4. Advance steel works from the model first and drawing second. Meaning the drawings are from the model, not the other way around. Adding a level to the model will add it to a drawing that would/should show that level
5. I have spent many hours tweaking all of my templates but I still need to do a fair amount of clean up. Given all the time in the world, what you are looking for is possible, but the return on time investment goes down quick. Depending on your reseller (I know Graitec does this) you can send an example set and have them make a bunch of template rules for you.
2:- If you want the grid in the floor plan drawing you must copy it up to each level. However, if it is just to aid in modelling you do not need to copy it up. You can use Levels in Project Explorer to lock beams to certain Z height and still snap to the grid at the base.
5:- It all depends what you are modelling of course. The most important thing is correctly assigning the model roles to each and every object. Leaving objects with Model Role = None or calling everything simply Beam or Plate instead of more specific names is the best way to get poor drawings. When editing drawings make sure you do it in the right way and always use the Preferred for Manual Dimensions osnap with dimensions and this will minimise any issue with your edits changing when a drawing is updated.
