Spreadsheet which generates Acad LT script, for drawing cold-formed steel sections. the script is generated in the worksheet and can be copy/pasted to the Acad LT command line. It also calculates the dimensions required to define a section for use in CFS (cold-formed steel design/check by RSG software ).
Includes:
- Simple z-hook
- Angle
- Hat
- Plain Channel
- C-Section
- C-Section with stiffeners to the lips
