Feature Idea: 20 x 40 Aluminium Extrusion

[SGTHANKI]

I've just been using the workbench and its amazing. I use a lot of 20x40 aluminium extrusion and I have an existing model for it that I was using and I was wondering if 20x40 could be added to the Aluminium Profile tool. If its already there and I've missed it please let me know. I have an existing FreeCAD profile for 20x40, if that's something that might be useful please let me know.

I think this is a very good idea. I have to remember the process of creating parts, so it will take me some time.

The model or a datasheet may be helpful.

Thank!

I've attached the FreeCAD design I use frequently. With 20*40 specifically there are a few different variations depending on manufacturer where the centre bores in each half are either 6mm, 5.5mm or 4mm in diameter. I've left this is a parametric variable in the design (called Bore Diameter), if this can be implemented into workbench that would be amazing but otherwise I would suggest leaving it at 5.5mm as that seems more common at least here in the UK. I've also included the pad length as a variable too. I couldn't straight upload the FCAD file so its as a zip below, I can also make a repo for it myself if needed. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
