    Default Crane rail style

    I'm trying to create a craane rail that works like a beam. I've created a shape and style, but when I apply to the beam it does not show up as a crane rail.

    Why not just use the OOTB crane rail? "S" shapes are available as a structural member.
    If you want to use your own profile, create the profile shape and create a new structural member style and use your profile.
    I took a look at your style, all you needed to do was change the profile to your "rail" profile in the member style.
    Let us know if you have additional questions.

    Not sure what an OOTB is? I never thought to check the "S" shapes for a rail, I know "S" shapes are used for trolly's, but this needs to be a rail.

    As for applying the "rail" profile to the member style, I did, but no change. I figured it must not be that easy!
