It is possible to export a rectangle tube as two separate L-Bar profiles. To do this, the four separate faces of the profile must be paired together, the left web with the top flange and the right web with the bottom flange. Then, the new construction must be given a cross section.

<SMS_PARTS NAME="Profile-Profile">

<SMS_PART KEY="ANGLE_1" MATERIAL_LOOKUP="MATERIAL_CARBON_A" COMPONENT_LOOKUP="ANGLE_1">

<SMS_CELL NAME="WEBL" OUTPUT_UPSIDE_FACE="base"/>

<SMS_CELL NAME="TOP_FLANGE" OUTPUT_UPSIDE_FACE="base"/>

</SMS_PART>

<SMS_PART KEY="ANGLE_2" MATERIAL_LOOKUP="MATERIAL_CARBON_A" COMPONENT_LOOKUP="ANGLE_1">

<SMS_CELL NAME="WEBR" OUTPUT_UPSIDE_FACE="base"/>

<SMS_CELL NAME="BOTTOM_FLANGE" OUTPUT_UPSIDE_FACE="base"/>

</SMS_PART>

</SMS_PARTS>

Additionally, the cross-section-specific information must be updated with the size and type of the angle bars. The component key given below should match with the component look-up given in the section above:

<SMS_XSECTION_SIZE STANDARD="AISC-LRFD-3.1" NAME="HSS20X12X.500">

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="RT_1" TYPE="PROFILE" XSECTION_STANDARD="AISC-LRFD-3.1" XSECTION_TYPE="HSSR" XSECTION_CLASS="HSSR" XSECTION_SIZE="HSS20X12X.500"/>

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="PLATE_1" TYPE="PLATE" THICKNESS="20" THICKNESS_UOM="mm"/>

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="PLATE_2" TYPE="PLATE" THICKNESS="12" THICKNESS_UOM="mm"/>

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="FB_1" TYPE="PLATE" XSECTION_STANDARD="ShipShapes" XSECTION_TYPE="FlatBar" XSECTION_CLASS="FB" XSECTION_SIZE="FB 20x0.625"/>

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="FB_2" TYPE="PLATE" XSECTION_STANDARD="ShipShapes" XSECTION_TYPE="FlatBar" XSECTION_CLASS="FB" XSECTION_SIZE="FB 12x0.625"/>

<SMS_XSECTION_COMPONENT KEY="ANGLE_1" TYPE="PROFILE" XSECTION_STANDARD="ShipShapes" XSECTION_TYPE="UnequalAngle" XSECTION_CLASS="UA" XSECTION_SIZE="UA 12x0.625"/>

<SMS_OFFSET KEY="WEB_OFFSET" OFFSET_X="0.0" OFFSET_Y=".500"/>

</SMS_XSECTION_SIZE>

Giving this XML to control the output results in two separate parts being named in the output XML, each of them being L-Bars of the same size as seen in the screen shots below.
