Unistruts

I am also looking for models of generic unistruts and their spring loaded fasteners, if anyone can direct me to a site for those I would appreciate it.
 
We use a lot of unistrut, but I simply used the family table method to generate the different sizes. I was fortunate, though, in that we had drawings with radii, etc., to work from in developing the initial sketch. Once I had the sketch I was all set; I just set up a family table and whenever I need a different length, I just throw in another instance of that length. If you haven't worked with family tables, just let me know and I can guide you through it easily. It literally takes less than a minute to make a new model.


I've never modeled the fasteners, though. We're slowly moving into Pro-E, and haven't made it down to that level of detail yet.
