Include obsolete steel members in frame generator

[Anonymous]

Many times I will use frame generator to draw up existing steel...some of which has been around for a very long time.

I frequently run across members in the field that are now obselete shapes, but would still like to model. It would be nice if the content center/frame generator had libraries dedicated to obselete steel shapes.

I know I could create my own library of parts to use, but it would be nice if they were just included in the package.

Here is a list of obsolete members that would still be useful:

W-SHAPE BEAMS	M-SHAPE BEAMS	MC-CHANNELS	WT-TEES	MT-TEES
