Topics in this section
Simple Sections
The selected section is created at a system line.
Compound Sections
Two or four sections are created at a system line as a combined section. The sections are handled as a single section, so any action will affect all composing sections.
Welded Beams
Several profiles welded together are created at a system line. The sections are handled as a single section.
Tapered Welded Beams
Tapered welded beams with varying cross section along their system line can be created from plates or flats welded together. The beams are handled as a single section.
User Sections
User sections are non-standard profile cross sections.
