  • First E-tabs need to work on ease of load chnaging on an particular object after analysis as it reduce time and confusion between elements
  • The rebaring model on final output should be have more editing options as it will help in understanding and easy to use
  • Need to work on stairs rebar as it is also one of more important

I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.

The only reason where I would hose the E-tabs is its commands which are easy to use and it also probide rebar shedule for whole project and also provide the model of rebar which gives me clear idea and helps from manual calculations.
