I have the Beam FeatureScript, but it does not include I-Beams. I can place C-Channels back-to-back; however, this doesn't give an accurate web thickness - etc. Is there another FS that is out there?

New Custom Feature: Group by Color (not sure if it's useful yet)
Though , sadly, we can not reset the color of parts in FS once they have been set in the studio, this will select all parts of the same color and make a composite part, which will allow the user to re-color all of them at once in the studio. Part of the reason I want this is that sometimes we import large assemblies and…

Lofting 3-Point skArc Produces Pointed Tent
Could someone please help me understand what's going on with this loft example? I'm guessing that the answer comes down to: needs guides. If so, what is the most effective approach here?

These are nice, but it is almost…
