SDS/2 custom member

[jesuscider]

anyone here made a custom member for sds/2?

I have developed four SDS/2 custom members. Do you have a question or problem in writing your own?

For those that would like to know what an SDS/2 custom member is - SDS/2 is software for preparation of structural shop drawings, otherwise known as steel detailing. Members are objects in the 3D model representing framing members in the steel structure. Built-in member types include Beam, Column, Vertical Brace, Horizontal Brace, Stair, Misc, etc. A custom member is a member created by the user from code written in Python. The code requirements are structured and typically include a Tkinter GUI interface. The highlighted custom member in the attached image represents an embedded plate in a concrete wall for a beam connection.

Custom member is created individually, how can I implement such that it would create a series of members with individual member number? Im having trouble in controlling the custom members default workflow of code in sds/2.

There is currently no way of adding custom members with a Python script as in Member("Beam"). Please confirm this with Design Data support.

Custom members can be added parametricly, is it possible to make a parametric that calls the custom member for x times?

Custom members are added through Member Add, not by running a parametric (script).
