}Download the attached project and open it in Advance Steel.
The BIM link is automatically integrated. You can find it in the top ribbon under IDEA StatiCa -> Checkbot. This will open the Checkbot application.
Select the New option with project type Steel and design code EN. Then select Create project.
The new Checkbot project is ready to import connections from Advance Steel.
