T Section Handrail Connections

[Anonymous]

Hi guys!

Is there any way to have Advance Steel use WT sections for handrail connections to the side of beams?  I know of the angles and "T" Plates, but it seems to be more common these days for Engineers to be asking for actual WT sections.

As far as I know, the only way to get this done is to remove the connection box and add them manually.

Please see print screen where said connection would be nice to have.

Thanks!

Definitely some improvements can be made here. I was told once of a way to get additional sections for the posts and rails by modifying the database, but I don't know if it can be done for the mounting sections like you are suggesting.
