The section editor contains 1-3 tabs.  The ‘Flexure Section’ defines the section used to resist flexure (and optionally, both shear and torsion as well), and is required.  The ‘Shear Section’ contains the section that will be used to resist shear.  The ‘Torsion Section’ contains the section that will be used to resist torsion.  If you select either of the options to use the flexure section for shear/torsion capacity, the corresponding tab will be hidden. Each of the sections can be manually defined by entering point data, or the data can be imported from a DWG file using the ‘Import from DWG’ option.
