CONNECT User Interface

ProStructures CONNECT comes with a completely redesigned user interface consistent with all Bentley CONNECT products. The new interface has a welcome page, a work page and separate workflows for Steel, Concrete, Modeling, Drawing and Visualization.

Tip: To learn more about the new interface watch "Welcome and Backstage" and "The Ribbon Bar Interface" videos in the "VIEW EXAMPLES" area of the Welcome to ProStructures CONNECT page.

Steel Workflow

A dedicated Steel workflow is now provided, where all available ProSteel functionality is grouped and organized on the ribbon bar in tabs, groups and buttons.

Concrete Workflow

A dedicated Concrete workflow is now provided, where all available ProConcrete functionality is grouped and organized on the ribbon bar in tabs, groups and buttons.

Popup Menus

In ProStructures CONNECT popup menus are a fast way to access commonly use tools and functions. Two sets of Popups are provided. One for accessing platform native functions and the other for ProStructures specific functions.

Pressing the spacebar on the keyboard brings up the platform native functions in 3D or 2D models.
Pressing the slash (< / >) on the keyboard opens the ProSteel or ProConcrete functions based on the active workflow in both 3D and 2D models.
