Joist Hanger missing in 21 [USA Detailer library]

Does anyone know why ArchiCAD got rid of the joist hanger library part? We were just looking for it in our office and realized it is no where to be found in ArchiCAD 21.

And while we're complaining... why have these never been created as 3d Objects... Does no one else put joist hangers in their models?
In the old days there was a set of Truss Joist hangers, even included some angled joist hangers. They were all .gsm I may have put a link to them here on the Forum ? Would have to search. I Think this was before Truss Joist MacMillan sold to Weyerhaeuser. Now Weyerhaeuser has split off the old Truss Joist MacMillian part into RedBuilt. So contacting RedBuilt, asking for .gsm parts might get you in contact with one of the old company guys who could get you that old Truss Joist .gsm library. ?
I am sure I have it archived somewhere. If I remember correctly I did make some posts on this forum about how they were not working as expected or something. ?

found the old Forum post about this -- I will look for those TJI .gsm hangers when I get the time. They are probably still available somewhere.

Also, there were some really good looking TJI's in .gsm too. Had the logo on them. Anyone have some of those ?
