Welded beam profiles positioning

Hey everyone,
I'm just starting to work with AdvanceSteel and I'm facing some problems.

I'm trying to recreate this beam:

I have used a welded, hollow beam but is there a way to move the bottom plate inside of the side plates?

Something like that:

Thanks!

Hi,

 

You can't do it with Wedlded Hollow Beam but if you use "Generic Aluminium Section" (don't be misled by the completely wrong name) you can do exactly what you want or any other configuration of as many sections as you like.

Hello,

I had some troubles with this tool, so I decomposed my hollowed beam, moved this flat profile and then welded them together.
