Creating a custom Structural section


 Product(s):OpenBuildings Designer
 Version(s):CONNECT Edition
 Area:Structural Design

Problem:

I want to create a custom Structural section/shape. How can I do this since ProStructures members have been added to OpenBuildings Designer?

Solution:

Previously by using StructuralShapes.xml we could create custom Legacy section sizes but they were limited to the shapes already available in OpenBuildings Designer. Since ProStructures members were added, the process is easier and more flexible. Please have a look at the below video to understand the workflow.
