Summary: It would help increase modeling/detailing efficiency if at the same time you load in a structural member that you have the option to also bring in it's corresponding detail components.

Description: While we have populated our project template with some common steel shapes/sizes, it is not exhaustive. Our template also includes the shapes/sizes of model elements with the corresponding section/top/side detail element. But when we come across a size that is not included in the template we may need to load in four separate families to have all the elements we need.

It would be extremely helpful from an efficiency standpoint if there is the option to simultaneously load in the corresponding detail elements when the model element is being loaded.

I would envision a simple check box that can be checked if a user wanted to load the detail elements as well as the model element. For example, if a W18x35 beam was loaded into the project, when the load screen pops up there is an option to load in the detail elements corresponding to the W18x35. So the section/top/side of a W18x35 would be loaded along with the model element.
