We are using all types of structural steel shapes on a project, consisting of angles, channels, beams, tees, etc. There are so many possible length variations, from 1 inch to 240 inches, and then fractions of an inch. Right now we are using a family table. For instance, we have a tubular steel shape family table, which takes into account all the varying sizes (10x6, 8x4, 4x4, etc.) and then each subset has different lengths ranging from 1 in. to 50 in. This makes for very large family tables. There are different family tables for each kind of shape (angle, channel, etc.). When we need a particular length, like 21.25 inches, we add that instance to the family table.
How do you handle structural steel shapes? Do you also use family tables? How do you break them up? Do you create individual parts at the assembly level, specifying a depth upto surface?
