Section Wizard

Hello STAAD community,

I'm using Section Wizard for creating this C-shape beam with cover plate. (please see snapshot below)

  1. My question is will there be an issue if there's clashing in the plate and beam flange wherein there will be a message from Seciton Wizard telling if its ok to ignore the clashing or not.
  2. If there an issue regarding this and I shouldn't ignore the clashing - Is 14 inches long plate enough in Section Wizard for my C15x40 beam? Or do I need to increase it more until it doesn't message me in clashing?

Thank you.
