I have searched all over and can't find answers to these particular questions, at least that I have found so far.

1.) Selection by Rule Set?  I want to only select members that "begin with" HSS, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get this.  Basically I want to create a Rule and use it to select a lot of members at once, anyway to do this?

2.) Partial Beam Profile on Plan?  When doing a Structrual Framing Plan, you can do Coarse which is just lines or you can do Medium which will show you the outline of the beam.

Is there a setting that will show you the line you get in Coarse but with a small section of the beam showing it's profile like you get with Medium?

Other programs allow you to show "partial profile", only 2 or 3 feet of the member is the Medium style while the rest of the beam is just the line.

3.) What is the AISC 14.1 folder for? If we use the families in that folder the weights will not show up on the schedule.  Just wondering what the folder is for and if it really matters if you use it or not.  Using the families located where the 14.1 folder is stored does show the weights.

Thanks
