Plate sections grouped by thickness, with area and total weight per group. The exact gap that forces engineers to tabulate by hand — closed in one click.
Beams, columns, bracing, plates, stiffeners, custom user sections — the full STAAD section catalogue, no exclusions.
02 · Workflow
No new vocabulary, no new files to manage. The tool sits next to STAAD and reads from the model you’re already working in.
Run MTO Generator alongside STAAD. Select the members or plates you want included in the take-off — or run on the whole model.
One click. The tool reads section properties from STAAD and computes detailed plus summary weights, including plate-wise.
Drop straight into Excel or PDF. Hand it to procurement, drafting, or your costing team — without the manual tabulation step.
