Gauge Plate Thickness

Is there a way to insert user defined plate thicknesses in the Plate Element tool? I need stair treads that are 10 gauge. The only choices I have are 1/8" and 3/16"... 

 

Any ideas or am I hosed?

By UNITS change the type of system on Engineering with precision 0'-0.0000".


Use attached database in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Structural\Common Data\2013\Data\Prof and plate thickness 0.1345"

Jakub-

Thank you for answering all of my questions lately. Its a huge help. How do I edit the XML file if I want to add another thickness to it?

 

Thanks!

Thank you... I see the format now. Is it possible to have the new gauge thicknesses in Fractional format as well?

 

Again Thank you Jakub for all your help!

You mean 10 gauge = 0.1345" = 0 269/2000?

I do not think so.

We can use precision units like 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc to 1/256

Thank you Jakub. I realized after my post that it was probably a silly question.
