Insert Beam Cross Sections

For more clarity in 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 profile functionality. This representation only reflects the functional aspects.

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