This is how I do it in SolidWorks.
Although I find there is usually too much detail and it really slows down an assy. I usually simplify all detail especially interior.
If you are using the mass properties you may not want to do this.
I have found that any of the aluminum build systems have rotten CAD files and I usually do a simple model of my own just keeping the important features correct.
If you are using SW 2004 try adding the profiles as a weldment feature. If you are familiar with weldments in SW 2004 you will absolutely love this.
