I need to use VersaFrame, which is similar to STAAD to model two MC18x58 shapes located 6 inches apart with a high strength HSS 12x8x1/2 shape welded on top. I have a load centered on top of the HSS member. The two MC18x58 are simple supported on each end. Does anybody know how to model the HSS on top of the MC's without using a plate? Also, the 12" side of the HSS is horizontal. How do I turn the shape around from the default location?

Thanks!
