Custom connection issue

Hi

 

I need to create a connection that connects an omega profile with a c-profile.

See pictures of what I need. What gives me problem is when the c-profile is rotated the bolts moves, I can't get them referenced to the end of the beam.

The bolts are added as normal bolts.

 

The connection should work like this, the connecting c-profile is cut at the back of the omega this works. The bolts should follow the c-profile and have a fixed distance from the end of the profile, this is my problem.

 

This is how the master connections looks.

Bolts when I rotate the beam.

If I try bolts on beam and select connecting elements I can't select web,or flange.

If I add a plate a Plate on beam edge and the place bolts on the plate it works. I can set the plate to not used for numbering. But this is a long way around and will add plates in the model that the users will be bothered on.

Can some one give be better solution for the problem.

I have run out of ideas.
