Hello, Sorry to post so many questions but the manuals and help guides aren't easy to figure out.
More specificall I want to break up my sweep. Perhaps I have modelled this wrong from the get go - if I have what method should I have used?
I want to slice my stringers so they are individual elements for my shop drawings.
I have tried all sorts of ways to do this but never get what i am after.
Thought the Planar cut would have done the trick but no.
Frustrating that I could have done this so quickly in Revit but I am trying to learn this software!

Using the sweep tool for structural steel was incorrect.
This method was using 3D Tools > Direct.
Simple once you know how but things like this cause beginners who don't have support major headaches.
Hope it helps others!

- Standard Steel members should be modelled with the Extrusion Tool.
- Create work planes where you want to slice the steel using Utility > Work Plane.
- With the Slice Tool and Planar Object Option slice the steel extrusions
