Hi TAK2HTA,

Thanks for the reply.

I presume modifying CSV file allows new sizes for existing profile to be added. This is not what I want to do.

Like CTMan I would like to add new profile shape for beams, similar to CTMan's PFC profiles. Instrucion on how to this would be apprecated. We need to be able to customise to get the most out of this realy useful plugin.

Thanks

Hi Guys,
I would like to draw your attention to the 'shapes' in tak2hata's plugin - look at the Class SHAPE and the profiles defined as *.SKP files.

You can draw any complex shape as long is contained within single face - sample below.

Does anyone know where to find more RC_WALL options for the BST, when I installed it (which is very useful BTW) it only shows 4 options?

Thanks.

Hi,CTMan.
I add link to your reply in the top of thread.
Thanks a lot for uploading your profile list of UK STEEL.

Channel([) have tapered flanges when the schema is like "[-100x50x5x7.5x8x4"
Channel([) have not tapered flanges when the schema is like "[-100x50x5x7.5"
So If you want to not tapered flange Channel,the schema is like "[-AxBxCxD".

Hi,sumaster.
"Extend to structure" tool works extending the structure to the other structure.not to face.
extending to structure.
Using "Extending to Face" to extend like this picture takes time and effort.
So "Extend to Structure" exists for that purpose.

I see the "undo" problem.
I will fix it few days.

Thanks.

Hi,Sufractal.
In my enviroment,"Steel Column" shown from "North American pflist" no problem.
Check the line include "##" in the csv file, If you edited it.
"##STEEL_COLUMN" is needed.

so, send to me your profile list or upload here it.
and I will look it.

Thanks.

Hi,
I tested it working fine.
Steel Column shown fine.
I judge that it is fine by looking only that picture.
The last advice I say is "Change Profile list path" and select it again.

The information about this problem is too small.
Is there anyone had same problem?
and please reply here.

Thanks.

excellent tool, but not (yet) working for me:
I cannot find an installation manual
nor a user manual
and where do I put the .csv files?
please help

Excellent tool. I worked great.
Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows easily verify whether a modulation structure, or structure, if feasible or still standing?.
To just have a quick overview or a quick sample of what model can work it without having to do the entire calculation of the structure (which will be done later).
So, I mean, for example: look, without calculating it yet, I can show that it may be feasible or holds

Hi, hygicell.
Please puts ".csv"file to folder you like.but windows special folder is not recommended.
The windows special folder is like "C:\program files" "C:\Windows".
Mac user do not mind this.

After puts it,You must "Change profile list path" from plugins menu.
and select the file.

Hi,Mastarhand.
Me,too.

Hi,all.
I will update this script after few days.

Thanks.
