I'm having some difficulties locating certain shapes in Revit, for example: P200x100x5.0. The rest of the steel used on the job is from the Netherlands Revit folder. Any help is appreciated.

would this be a rectangular tubing shape..?
you can use parametrics and use another rectangular shape family
and create the shapes that you need.
I did this to create a few sections that have not been rolled in 75 years to model
an old structure. pulled out old steel book and input the data to create the old shapes.

Yes, I could make these shapes and probably will end up having to do so, this however is my attempt at saving myself that time. I'm sure that someone, somewhere has used this steel for a job using Revit and that's what I'm hoping to find out. Thanks
