Hello, everyone!

Now i work at bridge truss design in SpaceClaim. It looks like: 

Top and bottom connection members have a double angle shapes with a distance between them:

Angles are connected together with a small plate between them. 

So, how can i choose this kind of profile for my truss members? 

If i chose Beams-Extract option, it creates 3 different beam profiles:

.

So, how to make just one profile for 2 angles?

Sorry, If there is a gap between two solids, they can not be combined as a single beam. Later, you can use contacts or node merge operations in Mechanical.
