So I downloaded the ANSI weldment profiles from the Design Library and extracted them to the appropriate folder. Now though, when I go to select "type" for new structural members, I see duplicates of the same type just listed under different names - for instance Square Tubing is listed as "AI Tube (square)" , "square tube" , and " Tube (square)". Different sizes seem to be available for each type as well and also the naming conventions are different (e.g. 4 SQ x .500 Wall vs. TS4x4x0.5). Does it matter which one I use as far as properties or the BOM is concerned? Should I delete the duplicates that I don't need?
I tried extracting the files to a custom folder in the weldments profiles location, but that just created a subfolder which I was not able to access through the weldments (structural member) feature tree.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I believe the The "AI" is actually "AL" which stands for aluminum. The profiles may be slightly different from the steel versions.
The other ones are the default folders that come installed with SW. You can just go to those folders and delete them if you don't want them in your list.
