Someone from UK might know what happened with the libraries that were developed for British Steel if I remember correctly some five years ago?

I don't know of the Brittish Steel objects that Djordje mentions but we made a 2d object that draws Speedeck metal roof profiles which would be easy enough to adapt for what you want.

Or is it a 3d object you want?
AC versions 3.41 to 25 (UKI Full 5005).

I would like it to be 3d so it will show-up in sections but if it is not around the 2d would be ok; would appreciate if you could direct me to it.

Yo Joseph, ever find anything to fill your need? I’m looking for a 3D pan deck with a cross section like the Metal Deck Form NCS 2D object. I will dive in a make one if need be but am surprised that I can’t find one out there anywhere.

No, I have not found one and still waiting and looking.I am not such a good GDL scripter yet, that is why I have not taken the challenge yet!

Joseph,
I’m not much of a scripter either but did hack together a pan deck object. Rather crude yet so I’m happy if someone here wants to improve it. Please find it attached. HTH.

doesn't work with slabs automatically though, does it?

and in order to get good sections, i guess you would have to use SEO and take the roof accessory at 0º pitch away from the slab? is that what you're after?

not especially the brightest of solutions is it? anybody care to make a slab accessory?
