PEMB eave beam / purlin

[muleman1]

I am trying to create an 8 inch pre engineered metal building eave purlin / beam. I simply cannot find any combination in the purlin macro to get it to work.... will I have to create a user profile?? These eave purlins are on 100's of 1000's of PEMB, surely I am overlooking something very simple ??

Hello Muleman, I don't believe that that is possible inside the macro unless you have created such a profile as user section. Then you can specify eaves beam in macro. User Section could be challenging as you would need to create on for each pitch of rafter you use.

I would recommend exploring folded beam profile section as an alternative.
