HI,
I am wondering if there is a way to add a double rectangular section to the section library to be visible in rendering in Microstran? I have tried to add a new section as (in Section Library Manager) Double-angle and Double C and it is not allowed saying tf, t is not valid.
Many Thanks.

I don't see any good way to make that exact section. A single box based on the outside perimeter, ignoring the double wall where they meet, is easy but not quite accurate. You can override the individual properties if needed.
Thanks Seth. After overriding the individual properties it's not allowed to add into the library. Adding a analysis only section won't show in rendering.
Thanks.
It should give a warning when the input properties deviate from the calculated properties, but you can still choose to save the input values.
Hi Seth,
Thanks for the response. If we can choose to save the input values against given values it will be added to the error report. As a result, that section won't be available in the model space in the relevant section category although it appears in the section library manager.
I have not got yet a solution for this problem.
Kind Regards,
Shan
