Modifying Structural Steel Shapes

[paul.stuva.tss]

I am working with Plant 3D and modifying some of the Steel Catalog components for some custom strut. It keeps coming in as rect. tube steel, which obviously is not quite the shape I want.

Anyone have a good guide or video I can follow, or advice on how to change the shape within Plant 3D?

Dear @paul.stuva.tss ,

there is no possibility to expand or modify the steel construction catalog.

Thank you for the response, my research was coming up with much the same answer.

There was a forum link recently where it was demonstrated that you could edit/change it, but IMO its a lot of messing about for no real advantage.

If you're on the AEC Collections, use Advance Steel. It has more profiles, its has the connections, it can be as simple or detailed as you want.
