I've been researching structural steel detailing software and I've narrowed it down to two top contenders: SDS2 and Tekla. However, I'm having trouble deciding between the two. I'd love to hear from those who have experience with either SDS2 or Tekla. Which one do you prefer, and more importantly, why? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each software?
