Modifying Section thickness

 

I want to be able to use a 4x4x.5625 HSSQ section but the thickness for a 4x4 section only goes up to .5". Is it possible to modify the standard section shapes to create one with a greater thickness? If that is not possible is there a way to create a HSS tube with the dimensions i would need? I know that i can create a square tube with those dimensions but i can't find one that has the filleted edges similar to the HSS. 

 

Thanks

Try to use the Section Builder module of the program where you can define an arbitrary shape of a profile, calculate its properties and save it in the user section database.
