LSGen is a tool that helps you generate perfect working drawings as per your office style. It automatically reads a typical floor plan including the dimensions, scale and positions and draws L/S and C/S of beams in mere seconds. Once the floor plan is read LSGen offers a plethora of options for incorporating steel, beam depths, segment depths, top depressions, section locations

It has one drawback though - No analysis or design supported. When I asked the company, they offered two explanations:
1. They have another analysis and design software (why not couple? I wonder).
2. The finite element model is not always accurate and the inaccuracies do creep in to the detailing drawing if the software reads steel from finite element analysis based design. I agree. But what about time? I hope they will soon have an interface with a good design software.
However, I am proud that such a software has been developed by an Indian company. My five stars
