Insert beam cross sections

For more clarity of the graphical representation, the beams are modeled with a simplified cross section contour. The section contour is reduced to a very simple shape that just meets the requirements of the profiles functionality. This representation only reflects the functional aspects.

The exact cross section displays all contour details (including radii).
