Can't find UK structural beams and columns. Structural member catalogue is empty.

Hi

 

Can someone please advise what file type needs to be loaded to AutoCAD MEP to load structural beam and column members in the Structural Catalogue / Tool palettes? I also am struggling to find this file on the C drive. Is it  adsk, dwg or other file?

 

Please help. Attached are pictures of what the catalagou looks like currently. I need the UK beams and columns... IPE, 256x146 etc 

 

Thank you

AutoCAD ARCHITCTURE is the correct program to use for this task of yours, free to all active subscribers from your accounts page as explained here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRBCsWThlvE

Aah thanks @pendean. Could I download AutoCAD Architecture, install the content files and use it in AutoCAD MEP as well? That's where I want to use it.

No, MEP content stays in MEP, ARCH content stays in ARCH and so on: but the DWG files are all shareable between the two software packages.
