I am attempting to use the structural member tool to create steel beams and columns. When I attempt to select a shape using "select shape" with steel material selected, all the boxes are greyed out. I cannot select the shape, series or size, but I can enter a material. Currently the properties dialog box for the structural member is reporting that I currently have a Wide Flange W12x30 beam selected from AISC series but I have no way to change that.
I have confirmed this issue in both an existing file and a new file. I have attached the new file and a screen shot of what I see.
I also checked through the resource browser and do not see any structural profiles that I could import that made a difference.
