 We use S-shape flanges quite often at work. I based the program after the C-shapes program in this forum. The geometry is basically the same as channels, except that one side is mirrored which makes the S-shape flange. The data is per the manual of Steel Construction. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

I've included an image from AutoCAD of typical S-shapes to show what the program draws.

 Hey Trevor,
 
Nice program, Works with ease.
You might want to add the following lines in the program to show new users how to start it though.
 
Example:
Add these lines to the bottom of the program.
Code: 
(princ "\nS-Shapes Lisp Loaded....")       ;Inform user progranm is loaded
(princ "\nType S-SHAPES to start program.");Show user how to start program

 Thanks for the input. That would really help new users figure out how to run the program. And sometimes the program is not even called the same name as the lsp filename. Thanks for testing also.
