Where can I access/how do I add a more comprehensive British Standards library to ProSteel

Actually you can just change the key value for simple shapes like flats etc. not being in the Database.

eventually you need to change the naming convention

The part list data will be created out of this values

all shapes are in editable MDB´s, you can add your own ones and copy from other databases.

In the SPC database you find several other diameters.

Hi Sandip,

I'm running ProStructures V8i S8. I've just tried searching the folder I have for 'Britain' and nothing is showing up.

Many thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,

Can we have your direst contact detail so that we can call you and do live session to explain this?

Also please mention your ProStructures Version.

Regards,
Sandip Kar

Hi Sandip - I've just sent you a direct email with my contact details.

Hi Lee,

It was a nice meeting over the call and it is clearly explained over the call, where that Britain.md file located. For your referenece I am sharing again the path where you can find the file

Shape mdb file location : 
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures V8i S8\WorkSpace\ProStructures\Data\Shapes

And in that you will find Britain and BritainNew mdb file where you can add new sections as your need.

I hope this is now clear to you and you are now got this.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
