Gusset and stiffener plate drawings from a text description
Describe a gusset or stiffener plate (shape, dimensions, thickness, chamfers) and get a shop drawing with dimensions, BOM and DXF export.
The problem
Gussets and stiffeners are small parts that come up in every steel structure project. They are usually needed in several sizes, and each one needs its own drawing for production.
Example description
Triangular gusset, legs 150 and 150 mm, 8 mm thick, 15 mm chamfer at the right-angle corner.
What you get
A drawing with dimension lines, chamfer callouts, a title block, a BOM and fabrication notes. Export to PNG/SVG, and on Pro also PDF/DXF.
When it's not the right tool
Stiffeners that need an engineering calculation of loads or welds. Metal Draw AI draws to the dimensions you give it; calculation and sign-off stay with the engineer.

Common questions
- Can I get several sizes of the same gusset?
- Yes. Each new drawing request counts as one drawing, and you can also update dimensions in the built-in editor.
- Do I need CAD experience?
- No. Describing the part in words is enough: dimensions, material and basic requirements.
