The Combined shape option is too time consuming to create for this content. It also does not transfer to other applications (ProStructures, TEKLA, Etc.). These applications want to display them as two separate angles. The spacing is dictated by the connection and should be an adjustable variable. I would like to see a function that places two single angles or channels that have an adjustable spacing and labels as one object on drawings. When this content is exported to CIS/2, SDNF or IFC that it is seen as two single angles with the same placement points. The double shapes should also be a table in the current mdb files.
| How frequently will feature be used? | A few times a day |
| How much time will you save? | This would save days when new catalogs are needed that have double shapes from having to create them one at a time as combined shapes. It will also save time in detailing software where the detailer is having to manually assign the two single angles. |
