Structural shapes and details
Several commonly used structural steel shapes are available as 2D objects. 3D equivalents of these objects are also available in the Vectorworks Design Suite products. Since the 2D and 3D parameters are nearly identical, all parameters are documented with the 2D objects for convenience. Two additional 2D/3D structural shapes are also available in the Vectorworks Design Suite products: bulb flat and Z-section, as well as four additional series (ANZ, BSI, DIN, and JIS).
The Update Plug-in Objects command may need to be run on files containing structural shapes that were created in an earlier version of the software. This command converts the structural shapes to the latest format; see Migrating from previous versions.
