How to design crane walkway beam and artificial column?

[eraycnar]

How can the crane walkway beam and artificial column be designed in idecad? I could not find the knitting pattern of the artificial column in the example in the program. I thought of designing it in 3d in Autocad and making an idea, but then how can I make artificial column interconnection plates and design the crane beam? Thank you.

Re: Question about making column/beam design Hello; In the drawings you sent, the column was created as a vertical truss (lattice) system, so instead of the artificial column and lattice element, create a vertical truss using the steel column and beam commands. In detail it is as follows. Enter your angle sections and horizontal sections, which are added as a cross system with the steel column and the 2 vertical elements that appear on the artificial column, with the steel beam command. Then connect the brackets and beams to the columns using cross joint and end joints. Variable cross-section cannot be defined for the crane beam. However, you can model the entire beam with the beam cross-section in the A section detail you sent, and then you can create your X detail by using the combination of stiffening plates. Good work.
