Beams

[jdoyle]

I need to know how to put beams into my drawings.  Like, i-beams, angles, tubing, etc. I don't see anywhere that I can do that. Any help?

Do you mean as bulk material or ?? Normally I just model in my beams, angles, tubing and such as parts.
I think you may get better responses if you clarify your question or add an image of exactly what you are asking for.

I do not think Creo has built in standard metal shapes like autocad.  You can add in generic shapes from the sketching palette and dimension them yourself to get the sizes you want.

You could also then create UDF's with all the standard sizes in a table if you will be using them enough.
