I can't see any profiles in structure system. They are available in weldment profiles. Does it mean i have to copy the sketches and create it the way it's made in the video? I use SW2020
Dear Learner, Here's the solution to your problem: The Profile Sketches are created just as any other normal SOLIDWORKS Sketch, & it doesn't involve any another environment as Structure System or Weldment for it to be created. SOLIDWORKS provides hundreds of Weldment Profiles by default & you'll most likely find what you need within those, but this webinar just shows how you can create custom ones if you need to. Only thing important to be remembered is that these custom profiles need to be saved using .SLDLFP (Library Feature Part) format exactly in the same folder location on your system wherein your default weldment profiles exist, but depending on the permissions for this folder you may have to save it to a temporary folder & then copy it to this folder or you may be able to save it directly from SOLIDWORKS to the default folder, but in any scenario, once you create your custom profile you'll want it to be in the default folder for SOLIDWORKS to point to it & actually make it a selectable item. Also, you need not copy any sketches from anywhere, you can create them & save them simply as per above instructions. Please make sure to go through the video from time stamp 5:52 to 7:11, the same written above is neatly explained.

We used Structure Systems in this video instead of traditional weldments because Structure Systems is an advanced environment within SOLIDWORKS. While weldments allow you to design a structure as a single multibody part, Structure Systems offers more flexibility. It lets you create and modify structural members with different profiles within a single feature, simplifying the design process and making it easier to manage complex structures. We hope this helps clarify our choice. 😃
Clear and detailed tutorial, thanks!
Great overview of structures function, thank you.

Just curious why you used this instead of the weldment.
