BTW there is a iges backend as well, but I assume this is not of much use ... It just creates an iges of all available part and profile.

I do not know about the Australian profiles, but the European I added are hot rolled sections. AFAIK for them ri=1.0*t and ro=1.5*t for all thicknesses. BUT this does not apply for the cold rolled sections.

We need to add ri and ro to the BOLTS profile data and we need to add the European cold rolled section (BTW: I do not se them in my projects.)

If the ri and ro is added someone cold add this to the Australian profiles as well.

Have some patience ...

here we are. I added ri and ro to the FreeCAD methods and to the european profiles. There is no error even the Australian do not yet have the ri and ro in the tables. Someone would need to add ri and ro for them.

Here is what I changed on European profiles. https://github.com/boltsparts/boltspart ... 48acf77ea9

Started collecting information on basic Architectural dimensions (in the future, I reckon it could include common manufacturer catalogues). See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0 - Generally some stuff for AU/NZ and South Africa so far. Just numbers right now, still working out an agnostic geometry backend for it.

If you're an architect, especially if you're an architect not from AU/ZA, please let me know if you'd like to help contribute!

@Laurie:
so you really have standard welded profiles? See my comment here https://github.com/boltsparts/boltspart ... 1305177118

@Laurie Hartley do you know any good tables for Cee and Zed profiles? I only have the Lysaght referee but that only contains dimensional data not other structural properties.
