Coordinate · Detail · Fabricate

One app from the drawing set to the shop floor.

Anvil & Steel keeps your drawings current, your models healthy and your spool sheets drawn, so your VDC team spends its time on coordination instead of file handling.

Four jobs, one place to run them.

Each area works on its own schedule in the background and shows you what changed, what needs a look and what is done.

Drawings

Every drawing set and bulletin from your project platforms, filed where your team expects it.

  • Syncs from Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud
  • Sorted by discipline, superseded sheets archived, never deleted
  • Combined current sets with a bookmark per sheet
  • Change narratives: revisions compared and clouded
  • Publishes sheets to your own ACC project

Coordination

Federated models and field views that stay in step with the latest trade models.

  • One button rebuilds, publishes and saves every view
  • Picks up where it left off after an interruption
  • Shows which field views are behind, per job
  • Small jobs can switch the federated model off
  • Built-in PDF viewer with markups

Model health

Scheduled checks on every model, with the trend and the reason when something fails.

  • Warnings per 1,000 elements, for fair comparison
  • Imported CAD, heavy elements, purgeable content
  • Twelve-week trends and a job-by-job dashboard
  • Weekly report ready to send
  • Failures explained in plain language

Fabrication

Spool sheets, cut lists and releases drawn straight from your Revit fabrication parts.

  • Plan and iso views, tags and dimensions placed for you
  • Cut lists, bills of material and stocklists
  • Releases with needed-by dates and change tracking
  • Sheet editor for notes, clouds and markups
  • Saves to ACC or any folder you pick

Spool sheets that come out clean the first time.

Every sheet is checked as it is drawn. Anvil & Steel moves what it needs to and leaves your own edits alone, so the shop gets a sheet it can build from.

Laid out the way detailers draw them: dimensions on the plan, tags on the iso, daisy-chained from pipe end to fitting centre.

A ribbon tab in Revit.

The A & S tab exports spools, colours systems and keeps your coordination views tidy without leaving the model. It is signed, installs with the app and updates with it.

A & S

Heavy work runs on your Revit workstations from a shared queue: model checks, spool exports and big sheet packages, with automatic retries.
