      Does anyone know if someone has already created a Dynamic Component for standard structural steelwork I beams?

      Note: I am interested in other standard member shapes (e.g. hollow boxes and tubes, channels) but I beams would be the main one I would use.

      Kind Regards

        have you looked at Engineering Toolbox or 3skeng?

        learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

          I've been looking for something similar for a while, mainly to simplify the drawing of steel portal frame structures and I'm fairly certain that nobody has come up with a specific dynamic component or plugin to help. 1001bit Tools (author Goh Chun Hee)is a great plugin and well worth a look. It's available from the SketchUcation Plugin Store.

              Assuming you aren't looking for joints etc., it's a pretty simple dynamic to make. You'd probably do better with some of the plugins mentioned above, but here, I attached one for you. Pretty basic - use the options to change height, width, flange/web thickness. Scale tool changes the length.
